Whether you want Elastic Transcoder to create thumbnails for your videos and, if so, how you want Elastic Transcoder to name the files.

If you don't want Elastic Transcoder to create thumbnails, specify "".

If you do want Elastic Transcoder to create thumbnails, specify the information that you want to include in the file name for each thumbnail. You can specify the following values in any sequence:

• CopyC#

  {count}

  (Required): If you want to create thumbnails, you must include
  CopyC#

  {count}

  in the
  CopyC#

  ThumbnailPattern

  object. Wherever you specify
  CopyC#

  {count}

  , Elastic Transcoder adds a five-digit sequence number (beginning with 00001) to thumbnail file names. The number indicates where a given thumbnail appears in the sequence of thumbnails for a transcoded file.
  If you specify a literal value and/or
  CopyC#

  {resolution}

  but you omit
  CopyC#

  {count}

  , Elastic Transcoder returns a validation error and does not create the job.

• Literal values (Optional): You can specify literal values anywhere in the

  CopyC#

  ThumbnailPattern

  object. For example, you can include them as a file name prefix or as a delimiter between
  CopyC#

  {resolution}

  and
  CopyC#

  {count}

  .

• CopyC#

  {resolution}

  (Optional): If you want Elastic Transcoder to include the resolution in the file name, include
  CopyC#

  {resolution}

  in the
  CopyC#

  ThumbnailPattern

  object.
