I think you should at the very least be able to pick between the 3 if not choose your own!
YouTube sucks for this.
Here's some of mine:
Apparently there will be lots of bushes in Season 3!
Nothing says pretty, romantic Jate vid like Kate humping a tree!
A tour of the beautiful house we were staying in, naturally the best pic would be my step Dad's back!
And I like this one :
This one isn't too bad either (Ana on her own at least captures the theme):

You can, actually. I've done that with most of mine.
(How to: Go to your http://youtube.com/my_videos, or however you get to the same page. Next to each video should be a button that says "Edit Video Info". Click that. At the top of all the video info it gives you the three screenshots to choose from. Pick the one you like best--sometimes they all suck--then click the button at the bottom that says "update video info".
YouTube claims it can take up to six hours to show changes. Mine took more like a day. But they did go into effect and now I have much better video pics!) _________________

I'd recognize that pantleg anywhere.
I did read somewhere (can't remember where) that youtube is working on changing things so we can choose a caption for our vids in the future. Yay!
I've been lucky with a lot of my youtube(Supernatural vid) captures. I have a few that are blah but I've managed to catch Dean in some of his best moments and Sam looks good in all the vid captures I have of him.
My good captures:
My what the? captures:

Cool!! I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for telling us!!

And you can change your pic????? Awesome, thanks!!!!!!! _________________

Awesome, you can change the pic!
Although I can pretty much guess that the other choices are likely to suck too! |

Chicafrom3, thank you! I didn't know the change was already in effect on YT. I just went through my vids and changed some of the worst screencaps for my vids. _________________

This is great! Some of those are too funny.
I just discovered that you can choose from 3 pics, but here are some of my best/worst before I do that.
Actually, there's only 2 that I actually like.
"When You're Gone" & "The Day I Tried to Live"
Crappy ones:
"Where Are They Now", apparently Jack has a second face on his neck.
"Throw It Away", about Charlie's drug addiction, a nice shot of the grass.
"These Walls", a Charlie vid, and I think that's a shot of Locke's chest.
"The Last Song", sad Charlie vid, and that's...uuummm....I dunno.
"By My Side", angsty Desmond & Pen, a nice almost-blank screen really sells the story.
"Beautiful Girl", about the lovely ladies of Lost, and there's Shannon looking......not too beautiful.
I had waaay too much fun going through these. _________________ Heather |

Lol these are funny. Youtube really screws us over sometimes with these crappy icons.
The first one is a Chana vid I only JUST uploaded and that pic of ana-Lucia looking kinda.....upset and well, you get the idea 0_o
The second I adore! I don't mind that one. That one was for my Breathe video I uploaded here yesterday.
First one I guess is okay. Second one was supposed to be a kind of cheerful one and that icon makes it look the complete opposite.
First one, I guess that's OK. In fact, I made it my youtube icon yesterday The second one would be perfect if it wasn't so dark. The 3rd one is great. There ARE more bad ones though.
First one-kinda random but I guess that's alright. Second one, wth? It's Shannon and Sayid and there's Boone with Shannon!
3rd, really random >.< 4th-Guess that's alright. 5th-meh, 6th-You can hardly SEE Michael there! 7th-perfect, 8th-don't mind that one, The Bodies one is kinda strange O_o
That's not all my videos. Any others are kinda uninteresting. But there ya go. Not too bad =p And I just realised I have 30 vids! -parties- |

Now something is screwed up at youtube. Some of my vid icons I've been able to change. Some will not change no matter what I do. _________________

Sorry, Trey, I just now saw this! How it works for me, I go ahead and have Paintshop open and ready to go. Then I press Print Screen (you won't "see" it do anything, per se), then go into PSP and click Paste as New Image. And voila! A screencap of my entire monitor appears! If that's not working for your computer... Hmmm, I'm not sure why it wouldn't! But these things do happen some times!
ZOMG, Chica, thank you SO MUCH for telling us how to change the pics! I ended up changing some of mine that I didn't even mention the first time!
1. "Ethan's Wonderful World" - which used to be represented with the pic of Shannon screaming; I kinda liked the first one with just the white clouds and smoke but the third one at least has Ethan in it, so I went with that!
2. "Walking Behind" - used to have the kinda odd pic of Sawyer and... Kate's hands! The third one is in mid-transition so I went with the first one. *thumbs up!*
3. "What I Like About You" - formerly known as "the pic of Jack's arms," lol! Kate's pic would've been appropriate but there's NO WAY I'm passing up a pic of my sweet Southern boy...
4. "Soul Meets Body" - aka "Danielle being beamed up" LOL! Sadly, it was either that or a random shot of a water bottle or that weird mid-transition thing where it looked like Hurley's head was about to explode in the ocean... So that one stayed!
Oh man, I have LOVED seeing everybody's stills! Thanks so much for sharing them!

The bad ones that have been changed:
Little Man - Big Man: Though I wanted a shot of both Locke and Ben, either two or three were viable options, and I actually prefer the shot from the "Where is the beast lying?" line for thematic elements, but it's hard to see and is in the middle of a fade. Thus, I went with the second, clearer, closer shot of Ben.
Watch Your Step: The shot of Charlie isn't really interesting. Angry! Pickett is just kind of frightening. The trap arrow is more appropriate thematically, and cooler.
My Back Pages: I would have preferred a B&W shot for this one, but the third one was the only one actually of Sayid, though it's kind of sucky.
Authority Song: Didn't really need to be changed as much as the others, but the first shot is more cocky and defiant, and that works better with the song, naturally.
Now, the good ones:
Prison Grove: Nice, sharp shot of Sayid looking kind of badass.
Kid Fears: Walt probably has the most fitting verse in the song, and the shot with the knife is nice.
Bad Penny: Matches the song (about Kate's penchant to follow Sawyer and then play dumb about it) perfectly.
Flesh & Blood: I would've preferred a shot of both Ben and Juliet, but doesn't Juliet look perfectly creepy here?
Lord Byron's Luggage: Panicky Desmond works well for this.
The Other Side of Summer: Goes along with the line about "Madman standing by the side of the road, saying, 'Look at my eyes' " and hits the right vibe for the song.
Now, the newest and, depending upon your perspective, worst or best icon (I know Aislynn will like it, at least!)
It is for That Don't Impress Me Much, soon to be posted. At least the channel icon should garner some comments, if nothing else! _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

ok, I actually always thought I am the person who have the most terrific YT icons
My top lol
Des/Lizzy vid...what is that..a LAMP, wow, probably a great vid lol
"New Island home"...dead Shanon head..great
"this is about Lust" - I probably even don't know what is THAT
"carry on dancing" - skate vid, great..I love black colour ...ONLY..
- I thinkr this terrific Locke face you could image in your WORST nightmare
...the most worst and weird transition EVER lol
Some of my non-Lost vids:
Butterfly effect movie:
...ok, may be it's not that crappy, but still..Ashton Kutcher face was EVERYWHERE in this vid, but YT took this 1 sec (!) appearring of the most hatible by me character in this movie ..and I actually was expecting to get a profile pic with Ashton ha ha
Back to the future vid:
...no comments, the best BTTF moment
House MD vid - again the most weird transition ever
Spider-Man vid - was about Spider-Man, damn, but not about this crappy Harry face
----
I know that now we can change pics, and I actually changed yesterday mostly all of them..but they still looks the way they were, and YT don't change them, how many days I must wait lol _________________
