Hi.

I am looking for a way to use the previews already existing in my folder.

I have:
video1.mp4
video1.jpg
video2.mp4
video2.jpg
etc.

I cant seem to get TC to use {#linksPreviewsArchived#} to archive these existing screens and upload them as rar - is this possible?

I do not have a {#preview#} tag in the template because that just uploads the first picture to the imghost and I dont want TC to generate previews.

Am I missing some setting somewhere for previews?

Do you select video files or the whole folder?

Improved for next update (1.86).

From next update make sure you have these settings:

"Settings" -> "Process" -> "Preview" -> "Prefer provided preview file and don't generate preview" is enabled.

"Settings" -> "Process" -> "Preview" -> "If using preview file prefer image which has text", in your case should be set to empty.

"Templates" -> "Video" -> "Settings" -> "Upload compressed previews to file hosts" is enabled.

"Hosts" -> "Files" -> select needed file host -> option "Use for previews" is enabled (don't forget to press "Update" button if needed).

Have "{#linksPreviewsArchived#}" tag in "Main" template.

It really has nothing to do with 1.84 or 1.86 or any other version.

For preview files I only improved to upload as archived to file hosts.

I didn't improve to upload to image host as gallery (that works only if you use generate screenshots automatically - not for custom files).
