To create thumbnails for videos (mp4) in Strapi, install and configure the provider-upload plugin, ensuring you have the necessary dependencies like ffmpeg or imagemagick . Test thumbnail generation on your local machine before deploying to Cloudfoundry, where you should check the configurations and logs for any errors. Fixing issues should allow Strapi to create thumbnails, allowing you to select and use videos in your content.
