Inputs
- Video Source (required) — A video URL or a file path from Video Api Hub storage.
- Image Format — Choose JPG (default) or PNG for the thumbnail.
- How to Get the Result — Choose a binary file (default), permanent public URL, temporary download link, or storage-only output. For a temporary link, set its expiry in seconds (default 3600; UI range 60–86400).
- Custom Save Path — Optional storage path for the generated image; leave blank to let the service generate one.
- Capture At (Seconds) — Time in the video to capture the background frame (default 2 seconds).
- Overlay Text — Optional text to display on the thumbnail; can be left blank when using only an overlay image.
- Text Position — Position the text at the center or one of six top or bottom alignments (default bottom center).
- Text & Overlay Options — Optional font name, font color (default white), font size (default 46), text effect (default shadow), overlay image URL, and overlay width and height. Overlay dimensions default to 0, meaning original size.
Output shape
A single JSON item containing the Video Api Hub API response for the submitted thumbnail job.
The node sends a POST request to
/v1/video/thumbnail-with-textwith the source, image format, output settings, and thumbnail options. It returns the API response as JSON; the node implementation does not itself download a binary image for this operation.
