The next time you're editing you videos make a note of the time code of the frame you'd like as the thumbnail that best represents your video because we now provide a way for you to specify the time code at the time of uploading your video or anytime during or after the transcoding process. How cool is that!

What you get is the ability to choose between two primary themes (for now). We call these themes, “Original” and “Earth”. The Earth theme will be the default theme, meaning that new visitors will see this theme. Both visitors and members can choose a specific theme and from that point on, they’ll see ExposureRoom in that theme until they choose to change it. Within a theme, you can choose between fonts as well as the font size. We think this will satisfy almost all members/visitors, and we really hope you like the new look.

They way we see it at XR is that we don’t want pages to look so different that is makes it hard for others to navigate but on the other hand we do want to provide you with the ability to add your own touch. You don’t have to, but you can if you’d like.
