====Step 5 - Improve Player Preview Thumbs (optional)====
When you upgrade to V3.5, you will notice that the thumbs shown in the main player will not be of good quality. This is because the thumbs that where created by V2 where small and are now being stretched in the player
The solution is to use a tool that we have created which will automatically create new thumbs just for the use in the player
For details see our forum [[http://phpmotion.com/forum/index.php/topic,17933.0.html PHPmotion Forum - Player Thumbs]]
