Abstract
Traditionally, the process of choosing the best thumbnail is having human curators or editors select it. It requires technical expertise as well as a good notion of which specific target population that content should be directed to. We present an algorithm that automatically extracts the “Best Frame" from the drama series’ episodes to be the thumbnail using not only the video but also the episode summary text and closed captions (CC). This “Best Frame” carries the essential characteristics that human professionals would look for while trying to manually select a thumbnail.
