What choosing a cover changes

The cover is the still image used for sharing the video. It does not move a scene to the beginning or change the words inside the video. To change the opening scene, reorder the scenes and apply the video changes.

If another site shows an older image

Some destinations keep a previous preview for a link. First check the current cover inside VideoTour.ai, then check the destination’s link-preview refresh options. A cover is separate from the actual first scene in the video.
