I could gift Supporter status to people who want to help out, maybe I should update the original post to note that.

This is actually my third attempt at a custom thumbnail for this movie. It's not perfect, but I like it better than the previous two.

I've popped it in there now.

thumbnail. This one was quick. The rest of 2005's thumbnails are also in progress

Since you guys are new to the tools, this would be a good place for a quick tutorial.

When you browse content on desktop, in the lower left corner you should see a box like this:

If a large thumbnail already exists, you can view it by clicking that "Large Thumbnail" link - it will show you the largest crop of the image. To actually edit or replace the thumbnail, click that red pencil in the top right corner and you'll go here:

On this page, you will see a "Re-Cut Image" button IF there is a large enough thumbnail that could be re-cropped. More likely, you will be uploading a new thumbnail here, at which point it will take you to the icon cropping tool.

You can ideally upload a full screen grab. When it comes to pixel art, I've been upscaling it using Nearest Neighbor scaling, which prevents it from becoming blurry.

The 140x90 thumbnail you see on the right is an example of how it will be cropped and resized for our old thumbnail format, which isn't 16:9 like the new format. This will be increasingly irrelevant as pages update to use larger / 16:9 thumbnails.

Let me know if you have any questions!

My question is: is to make a New thumbnail from zero, or Just make a HD version of old thumbnails?

This message implies you should go full screen the flash and screenshot with modern resolution, though I have also submitted “New thumbnail from zero”, ie, drawing/editing a custom thumbnail based on elements from the original. This however takes more time, so most are simply screenshots.

It's ok to use use screen grabs if you can grab a reasonably sized image. For example I grabbed this screenshot from Don't Look Back:

There are some cases where redrawing could help preserve a unique thumbnail that's not a screenshot in the movie, however screenshots are usually fine, even if they can't be 1920x1080.

1. Get all items a thumbnail

3. Update the quality of all thumbnails
4. All of the above
5. All of the above but #1 is the priority most of the time
