Generating video thumbnails from YouTube and other video sites

This blog post explains how to easily embed thumbnails of videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Animoto and Dailymotion. Thumbnails can be automatically resized, cropped and transformed to match the graphic design of your website. Face detection can be used for better cropping. All thumbnails are cached and delivered through a CDN for better performance. Ruby on Rails sample code included.
