 * Hi,
 * i add a video through the page and it automatically creates a post. Is it possible
   to add a thumbnail from the video to this post automatic?
 * If not, is there a script that extracts the url of the video’s thumbnail?

 * If you have FFMPEG installed on your server the plugin can automatically create
   a thumbnail whenever you upload a video.
 * If you enable the plugin setting “Set generated video thumbnails as featured 
   images.” it will automatically make the video thumbnail the post’s featured image.
