Thumbnail generation new options

We will indeed implement a 7-day delay for the automated deletion of originals. In fact, that will go live with the next release in two weeks.

This 7-day delay allows you to create thumbs ánd allows us to debug a video should one of the conversions have failed.

Ok, please update that topic when 7-day delay for the automated deletion of originals is done.

Thank you.

Just tested this on our staging server, and the 7-day delay indeed works fine.

I'll let you know when this is pushed live.

Perhaps another simply option is to let us to upload an image thumbnail... perhaps trought the API?

We can't see that option here:

Could it be posible to add it?
Thank you.

Uploading an image is possible. The largest part of the page you mention describes how uploading an image works ;)

The trick is not to send a position parameter along. You'll then automatically get a response with a URL where the image can be posted to.

We use this two-step method so images can be directly uploaded from the client to our system. With a single-step upload, images have to pass through your servers.

Is the 7-day delay done?

Thank you.

The release with the 7-day relay should come out next week. Apologies for the delay of the 7-day delay.

This is very urgent.
Please don't delay it much more.

This has been released now.
