There is unfortunately no way to do this via the API. To confirm, are you looking to choose **which** frame is used for the thumbnail (which can be done in-app), or are you trying to supply a custom thumbnail?

If the latter, I encourage you to submit a feature request right [here](https://airtable.com/shrnN5siVekZ9I3N4)!
