What kind of preview image should I use for my film?
When you upload your film, five sets of frames will show up. There are back and forth arrows (< > ) below each set of frames so you can scroll through and select your preview images. Please do not select a black frame as your first preview frame or your thumbnail in the browse section will be black. The purpose of multiple images is because they scroll when a viewer is browsing the film gallery and hovers over the thumbnail.
