A video thumbnail is a still image that acts as the preview image for your video. It's kind of like a book cover. And, like a book cover, it should entice a potential viewer to want to see more. The term “thumbnail” originated with still images.
Once you upload your video, YouTube will give you three auto-generated thumbnails options to choose from. Besides that, you can also see an option for uploading a custom thumbnail. Click on this button and upload your custom thumbnail. And you are done!
Take a look at the ffmpeg-php library. It's the only simple way to manipulate videos of different formats in PHP.
There's also a wrapper called PHP Video Toolkit, you can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvideotoolkit/
