Is there a way to choose the first frame as the thumbnail during the upload process, or change the thumbnail after the file has been uploaded?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code".
