I could use some help from someone who is a bit more educated on custom code than I am...

I would like to use the video_thumbnail package to take a videoURL and return the thumbnail path so I can then upload that thumbnail to Supabase.

I am assuming a function should work just fine but I am unsure of how to return the path?

Here is what I tried but it is not working:

import 'package:video_thumbnail/video_thumbnail.dart';\nimport 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';\nimport 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';\nimport 'package:path/path.dart';\n\nFuture<String?> getThumbnail(String videoURL) async {\n  return await VideoThumbnail.thumbnailFile(\n    video: videoURL,\n    thumbnailPath: (await getTemporaryDirectory()).path,\n    imageFormat: ImageFormat.JPEG,\n    // specify the height of the thumbnail, let the width auto-scaled to keep the source aspect ratio\n    maxHeight: 500,\n    quality: 75,\n  );\n}

I thought maybe it wasn't returning the path and I needed to get the path from the File being generated but this return an error \"Undefined class 'File'.\"

import 'package:video_thumbnail/video_thumbnail.dart';\nimport 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';\nimport 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';\nimport 'package:path/path.dart';\n\nFuture<String?> getThumbnail(String videoURL) async {\n\n  final thumbFile = await VideoThumbnail.thumbnailFile(\n    video: videoURL,\n    thumbnailPath: (await getTemporaryDirectory()).path,\n    imageFormat: ImageFormat.JPEG,\n    // specify the height of the thumbnail, let the width auto-scaled to keep the source aspect ratio\n    maxHeight: 500,\n    quality: 75,\n  );\n  File file = File(thumbFile);\n  return basename(file.path);\n}

Any help is much appreciated!
