  If you choose Automatically extract thumbnails from video then please make sure to      configure your transcoder settings to make this work properly.


Here I have checked the Automatically extract thumbnails from video  check box and I have saved it.

I have configure the transcoder  setting as follows.(I am working on windows XP)

  Video transcoder
    FFmpeg:checked
  Select a video transcoder will help you convert videos and generate thumbnails.

    Zencoder is unavailable: The Zencoder API module has not been setup properly.

Are there any messages in your Drupal error log related to video transcoding? Also, try to update to the latest version of the Video module.
