This isn't an issues as such, more of a query.

Is it possible to show a video as a cover image?

I have a few blogs that have no cover image but do have a video within the post, currently the cover image is the placeholder. I think it would be a good idea if the video thumbnail could be shown as the cover?
It's not possible to get a thumbnail from the video unless we start adding ffmpeg integrations but ffmpeg is another messy layer as not all hosting providers supports ffmpeg.

Thanks Mark. Would have been a ice feature but I understand.

If there is a way for us to easily extract the first second of the video, things would be much easier (perhaps some day, we might be able to write a web service that does that)
