I think this would be great as an extension itself interacting with MUX. I believe it could also be handled via flows with their api now in the meantime. I have mentioned something like in the past, so it's on my todo. |

Currently, managing and selecting videos in Directus for website usage is cumbersome and disrupts the workflow.

Motivation
The implementation of video previews and generated thumbnails in Directus offers several benefits. It enables users to quickly assess video content and quality within the media pool, enhancing efficiency when selecting videos for posts, pages, or other content.
