Whenever I try to place a video, I get the error message "The poster image could not be changed to the requested image." How do I fix this? It only started happening with the last few videos I tried to place in InDesign. Thanks!

Hi,
Can you confirm the Operating system and InDesign versions; as well, can you indicate where do you get the videos from?
A poster image is the chosen image to be displayed when the video is not playing.
here is a thread on changing the poster frame: How to change video preview frame/poster image?
Can you indicate if there is anything different with the recent videos, are you creating them with a different application, are you getting them from a different source? You could try to use Adobe Media

I used Media Encoder to change the file that was having the issues from 4K down to 1920 x 1080 (which I believe is 2K, or at least close to it) and that allowed me to choose the thumbnails, so I guess InDesign just doesn't support 4K embedded documents (but really, NOTHING does, I am slightly frustrated with that requirement that was placed on us). Thank you for the reply Eric!

Hi
I'm having this same error problem. I'm on El Capitan and using Indesign CC 2015.
I've used Photoshop to convert a gif to an MP4...
