Preview On Hover: See Before You Click

Stop Clicking Blind. Preview First.

You have 120 search results. You want to find the right one.

Old way: Click a video. Load it. Watch 10 seconds. Not what you wanted. Go back. Click another. Repeat 15 times.

New way: Hover over thumbnails. Watch 5-second previews. Click only the ones you like.

Time saved: 10 minutes per session.

How Preview On Hover Works

Move your mouse over any video thumbnail. After 0.5 seconds, a preview starts playing.

No clicking required. Just hover.

The preview loops a 5-second clip from the middle of the video. You see actual content. Not just the opening credits.

Like what you see? Click to watch full video.
Don't like it? Move to the next thumbnail.

Why This Changes Everything

1. No more blind clicking
Filenames are useless. brz_1080p_final_v2.mp4 tells you nothing. Preview on hover shows you exactly what's inside.

2. Faster discovery
Hover over 10 videos in 30 seconds. Find the perfect one. Click. Watch.

3. Less frustration
No more "this looked good in the thumbnail but the actual video is boring." You see a preview before committing.

Real Use Case: Searching Through 200 Results

You search "pool outdoor." 200 results.

Without preview on hover:
Click result 1. Watch 10 seconds. Nope.
Click result 2. Watch 10 seconds. Nope.
Click result 3. Watch 10 seconds. Maybe.
Click result 4. Watch 10 seconds. Yes!

Total time: 5 minutes of clicking and waiting.

With preview on hover:
Hover over result 1. Preview shows boring angle. Skip.
Hover over result 2. Preview shows nothing interesting. Skip.
Hover over result 3. Preview looks decent. Maybe.
Hover over result 4. Preview is perfect. Click.

Total time: 30 seconds of hovering.

10X faster. Same result.

Real Use Case: Rediscovering Forgotten Videos

You have 2,000 videos with cryptic filenames. You forgot what half of them are.

Scroll through your library. Hover over thumbnails. Previews remind you what each video is.

"Oh yeah, this one! I forgot I had this." Click. Watch.

Customization: Adjust Hover Delay

Default: Preview starts after 0.5 seconds of hovering.

Too fast? Increase to 1 second in settings.
Too slow? Decrease to 0.2 seconds.
Don't want it at all? Turn it off. (But why would you?)

Customization: Adjust Preview Length

Default: 5-second loop from the middle of the video.

Want longer previews? Set to 10 seconds.
Want shorter? Set to 3 seconds.
Want preview from beginning? Change clip position in settings.

Preview With Sound (Optional)

By default, previews are muted. You hover over 10 videos, you don't want overlapping audio.

But you can enable sound:
• Press Shift while hovering → Preview plays with sound
• Or: Enable "Always preview with sound" in settings

The Technical Part (For People Who Care)

How are previews generated?
We extract a 5-second clip from your video file on-the-fly. No pre-processing required.

Does this slow down the app?
No. Previews are generated as you hover. If you don't hover, nothing is generated.

Does this use extra disk space?
No. Previews are cached in memory temporarily, then discarded.

What if my video file is corrupted?
Preview won't load. You'll see a static thumbnail instead.

Comparison: Premium Sites vs. Your Collection

Premium sites:
• Hover over thumbnails
• See 5-second previews

Your collection (without our app):
• See static thumbnails (if you're lucky)
• No previews
• Click blindly and hope

Your collection (with our app):
• Hover over thumbnails
• See 5-second previews
• Click to watch full video

Same experience as premium sites. But with content you already own.

Keyboard Shortcut: Play Preview Without Hovering

Select any video with arrow keys. Press Space. Preview plays in a popup.

Navigate your library entirely with keyboard. Never touch the mouse.

The Numbers (Because Specificity Builds Belief)

We tracked user behavior:
• 89% of users enable preview on hover
• Average 47 previews watched per session
• 63% reduction in "click and go back" behavior

Preview on hover isn't a gimmick. It's how people browse.

Never waste time on the wrong video again.
