Hello @Harish_Rao! Here’s a full list of the media file formats we support: https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000067353-Transcoding-services

@Harish_Rao,

What @jonjones said here.

And to be more specific here, you could not directly upload video onto thumbnail field. You are uploading the supported media format onto Shotgun and it gets transcoded automatically with a thumbnail image generated onto the thumbnail field. You could then click on the fimstrip thumbnail to play the transcoded media.

Of course, you could configure the thumbnail field to upload jpg, png still images as thumbnail. Check this one here for more information.

Cheers,
Ben

Do you have updated links for these? I’m trying to figure out what image formats are supported for thumbnail uploads and the links are now broken.

Thanks,

Not a definitive list, but here’s the recent docs on this topic: Help

Mostly I believe its any format that ffmpeg or imagemagick supports.

For example:

jpg, png, tiff, exr, psd, psb, pdf
