Vodlix thumbnail preview shows a small scene image as a viewer moves the cursor or scrubber along the progress bar, so they can find the right moment at a glance. It is also known as trick play.

No. Vodlix preview thumbnails are optimised to load instantly as the viewer scrubs, with no delay between moving the cursor and seeing the frame.

No. Where it is available on a channel it is simply there in the player controls, which is the point. A feature people have to discover or switch on is a feature most of your audience will never use.

Yes. Every film and series in Vodlix has a Trailers tab in its editor. Upload a trailer there and viewers see a Trailer button beside Play, and the home page hero can play it when the title is featured.

No. In Vodlix a trailer has its own published state, separate from the title, so you can swap, refresh or remove a trailer without changing the title's availability.

On the title itself, as a Trailer button beside Play, and in the home page hero, which can play the trailer muted while the title is featured. It plays in your own player, so the branding and controls are the same ones the rest of your service uses rather than something visibly different.

No. A trailer ignores the monetization of the title it belongs to, so it plays for signed-out visitors even when the film itself is subscription or rental only. Trailers never run ads either. A trailer behind a paywall could not sell the title.

On the home page, yes. When a title is featured in the hero, its trailer can play muted behind it. You can turn this off in the Display and Listing settings, and a separate setting controls whether the trailer in the title info window starts muted.

Vodlix trick play thumbnails are small preview frames taken every two seconds along a video's running time. They appear above the progress bar when a viewer hovers in the browser, and as a filmstrip when they seek with a TV remote, showing the scene before they jump to it.

They turn several guessing seeks into one precise movement, which feels smoother for the viewer and cheaper for you, since every seek discards the buffer and fetches new video segments.
