Usecase: I needed to use thumbnail for Photo and Video uploaded in DAM Admin , For Photo Thumbnails were getting created , but faced an Issue that no thumbnail was generated for Video uploaded in DAM .

Snapshot depicting no thumbnail rendition created for Video Uploaded .
Solution: For generating thumbnails for Video , what i did was installing ffmpeg on the Server Hosting Machine (may be Local/Dev instance for testing , Production instance for release ) from http://ffmpeg.org/download.html and adding the ffmpeg\bin directory to the PATH variable in Environment Variables Section.

Note : By Default thumbnails of particular renditions are created via “DAM Update Asset” workflow which is triggered on uploading Asset in DAM and using this Workflow a new workflow can be created for creating thumbnail of other rendition sizes for Photo/Video.
So , CQ DAM relies on ffmpeg plugin for creating thumbnail renditions of uploaded video and we need to install it manually on our Server(CQ Instance) and follow steps as mentioned above .
Hope this helps..!!
