Custom thumbnails for video files?

After migrating to new smug mug, I'm not able to add a custom thumbnail to uploaded videos. I can choose square or original but I don't see an option for custom image. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or the feature is no longer available. Most of my videos fade in from black so I usually end up with black thumbnails unless I upload a custom image from middle of the video. Please help.

Somewhat related, I would love to see the quicktime player come back. Please ditch the flash player. Lack of hardware acceleration on some macs and PCs makes watching 1080p video choppy and blurry.

Thank You,
-Andy

    It took me a little while to find the way to do this, too.

    Select the video > click the little Tool wrench at the bottom > hover over the Edit link > Replace Video Preview Image

    Got it! I was looking for it while in the "Organize" section, which has the choice for square or original thumbnail but no custom image. Thanks for your help!
