No, PhotoPost does not have the ability to create autothumbnails for a video. Read this thread...

Our program does not create video thumbnails from the uploaded video that would be correct.

The main obstical for this kind of functinality is a cross-platform thumbnail generator; I've heard of an open source project for one (ffmpeg, i think), but was never able to install and get it to work on my systems.

I find someone who asking me to make a custom hack for photopost to creat auto thumbnail but he was asking for $250 just for this hack .. and i will need ffmpeg installing .. i can't offer paying $250 for this hack and then $129 for photopost .. i hope just the PP team add this feature and i'm ready to buy this product..

Thanks alot

While PhotoPost is a pretty decent gallery, you may want to consider Gallery 2 which does support video/video thumbnail creation right out of the box:

.... Gallery 2 goes quite a few steps further though, by also supporting GD, dcraw and ffmpeg out of the box. GD is an image manipulation program that can (and usually is) built into PHP, dcraw is able to convert the RAW format images from many digital cameras and perhaps the most exciting is ffmpeg which allows creation of thumbnails for various video formats. Yes, that’s right you can upload a video and have its thumbnail be any frame from within it....
