sudo apt install ffmpegthumbnailer

// Then restart the computer, if you still
// could not see the video's thumbnails in the
// file manager, install another package like this:

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav

// Then clean up thumbnails directory by this command:

rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail

// Re-open the Nautilus (Ubuntu's built in file manager), it will work.

// Refer to this article if your Ubuntu 18.04 thumbnails still do not work.

// NOTE:  For Ubuntu 20.04 this method still applies
