How to adjust thumbnail resolution and quality

The preferred way of changing the thumbnail resolution and quality is by changing the appropriate values in the TranscodePresetDocument in a shape tag.

To adjust resolution;

<thumbnailResolution> <width>1200</width> <height>800</height> </thumbnailResolution>

 

To adjust quality;

<setting> <key>thumbnailcompression</key> <value>75</value> </setting>

 

Where the value 75 is default and lower value gives you a more reduced quality.

NOTE: Quality adjustment is only supported for images.
