This issue has been brought up repeatedly in the forum over several years. The black thumbnails on my album look hideous. There is no black first frame on my videos and they show up black. How would there be a black frame if I merely press the button on my smart phone to start recording. I opened a sample video in iMovie to see if there is a black frame at the beginning.

You would need to edit out the first frame for these videos in order to see anything but a black frame. This is likely because your video fades in from black.įlickr by default uses the first frame as the thumbnail for any video that is uploaded, currently there is not a way to change this within the website. The reason some of your videos are black has to do with the first frame of the video that you are uploading. Most of them are hidden as they are about my daughter, but I've made one public temporarily: Is there really no way to fix this? Thanks for any constructive suggestion.Ĭan you provide a link to a video in your photostream that has this problem? The black screen is simply too much, I don't want to start manually editing every video. It's already enough inconvenience that flickr cannot take the correct date of recording but I'm now used to changing that manually. Please someone tell me how to avoid a black thumbnail or how to remove a first frame easily. Then I download the video back to my computer and I open it with VLC player, I set frame by frame playback and I don't see any black frame. When I play back my video on flickr, the first frame does appear to be black. Yet some of my videos have uploaded correctly with a thumbnail, many have not. I don't add effects, no fade-in, no video editing, nothing. However, I'm starting to think flickr randomly adds a black first frame to uploaded videos: I've read through earlier threads and I'm aware that flickr takes the first frame to make a thumbnail.
