Cool, but if only Apple could get their video thumbnails on macOS to use the same frame as their video thumbnails on iOS, it would be a huge step forward. Should not even be hard, no AI needed. It's absolutely nuts that this has been broken for so many years.

Another crazy thing that I’ve seen in the past - in Photos on Mac, if you have a video and do Set as Poster Frame (or something like that to set the thumbnail), that duplicates the whole video. So if you have a 20GB video in Photos and you just want change the thumbnail, it’s gonna cost you another 20GB disk space

It's fixed in macOS Sequoia and iOS 18.
