The video image/poster/thumbnail feature will allow users to see static image on video component before they click play just like youtube. To show the poster on video component (as first frame) we'll provide a way to upload image for particular video via "Video Uploads" page. Since our design for this feature adds a significant infrastructure requirement, we're giving it a dedicated design document.

Functionality
- On Video Uploads page, upload an image for particular video to use as video poster/thumbnail (or replace the existing one)
- The video image would be specific to course run i.e. changing/adding new image would't impact the other course(s).
- When a thumbnail is added to a video on the upload page, it should update any component where the video is used.
- Basic interaction mockup here: http://6qnr7j.axshare.com/thumbnail_upload.html
- Video pipeline is generating 3 random images from uploaded video and using one of them by default.
- Moderation: minimal MVP for now
