How to make nice thumbs from video.

1. Select a nice frame with your video editor with no motion blur and save as original raw size with least compression.

2. Open in photo shop and adjust brightness & contrast (if needed).

3. resize image in photoshop to desired thumbsize.

4. in photo shop use filter/sharpen/sharpen edges (this is most important step)

5. save for web (jpeg high optimized quality 60)

Follow these steps in this order and you too can have nice looking thumbs.
