The MediaAce plugin allows you to automatically download the featured images for posts with embedded content.
Supported Media
The featured image is fetched for embed videos like YouTube or Vimeo. Self-hosted MP4 is not supported.
Post Format
The auto featured images feature works only for posts set to the Video post format.
Frontend Post
When a video is submitted via frontend uploader, the uploader set the post format automatically to Video.
Backend Post
When you add video embed manually on the backend, you have to set the post format to Video manually.
