Thumbnail: FCP X When I complete a video, is there a way to select a certain frame for the thumbnail of exported video? I keep getting a black frame for thumbnail, no matter where I am on the timeline when exporting. Thank you.

Images not updating in FinalCut Pro I have been using Final Cut Pro for the past 3 years. As well as more complex videos, I often use it to make simple videos for use in School assemblies. I begin with creating slides in Keynote and exporting them as images. I then drag and drop the images into FCP and arrange them as I wish. In the past if I have update the images (say changed the layout of a slide and then replaced the existing images) FCP automatically updated the video. Now I have to drag and drop. Any suggestions? Have I inadvertently changed the settings in FCP? Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
