How exactly do I create a custom thumbnail for projects?

I've seen this on tutorial videos, but can't figure out how it works.

So these are created randomly?

Not exactly randomly. There’s a formula the application uses to pick a frame.

Yes, please use feedback. And not only for project thumbnails but for browser clip („all“) posterframes as well!

I was looking for this question, and FCPX takes the middle project frame to set its thumbnail. It means that if your project is 10 minutes long, thumbnail will be exact the 5 minutes frame.
