Resource: VideoThumbnail
Information about a video thumbnail.
| Fields |
name |
string
The resource name representing the video thumbnail, of the form "projects/*/videoThumbnails/**" (e.g. "projects/earthengine-legacy/videoThumbnails/").
|
expression |
object (Expression)
The expression to compute. Must evaluate to an ImageCollection.
|
videoOptions |
object (VideoOptions)
Options for the animation.
|
fileFormat |
enum (VideoFileFormat)
The output encoding in which to generate the resulting video thumbnail. Currently only GIF is supported.
|
grid |
object (PixelGrid)
An optional pixel grid describing how the images computed by expression are reprojected and clipped.
|
Methods |
|
|
Creates an ID that can be used to render an image containing an animation of multiple images from a collection. |
|
|
Computes an image showing the result of a computation. |
