Video Cover Art

[ecbrad]

I've spent a painful long time tagging my music videos and it all looks good. Question is though, what do you guys use for Album covers for your music vids?

Cheers,

when i was doing mine i would google search images to find a generic representation of the band and throw it in the folder.  usually an image with the name but of no specific album and it makes for a nice custom display of band groups..just me tho

I've started copying the Fan Art that was linked in here. Only issue is that they all appear to be widescreen so when the thumbnails are generated everyone looks squashed lol

I am kind of in the same boat here.  I too just use a generic image found from google image search.  I did not do band name in the picture because it is written above it on the selection.  The best advice is find one that is square and sized 320x320 or higher, you can always shrink it to 320x320, but enlarging it looks bad.
My problem is consistancy.  Take a band like Poison do you do a 80 picture or a 2009 picture?  Take a band like Metallica do you do a picture with Robert Trujillo or one with Jason Newsted and what about Cliff Burton?  Def Leppard, one armed Rick Allen or two?

Haha yes bands that actually last more than 10 years create a problem

I usually just use a greatest hits cover for the videos.... Sometimes i will put the word VIDEOS on the image, depends if i can be bothered really due to the amount of time that actually takes.

Same here, works fine.  More than likely if you've got a video of them, it's probably on the greatest hits album anyway.
