icon shown for video

[djm]

Hello. I just made my first video out of still photos and i have one
question I hope someone can answer. I noticed that the icon created for my
video displays one of the photos, but I don't particularly want that photo to
represent my video. Is there a way to change this icon or to select a photo
to be used by Movie Maker when you "publish" the project?

======================================
The first photo in the slideshow should be the thumb.

And...if you begin the slideshow with a fade in from
black....the thumb should be black.

Thank you for responding. It makes sense for the first photo to be used, but
I made 2 or 3 copies of the same video and different photos were used each
time. I will try using the fade in feature to see if I can just get the
black thumbnail rather than a photo. Thank you very much!

Are you running Windows XP?

Are you saying you created one .wmv movie file and
then made copies (right click/copy) and the thumbs
are different?
