Before this week is out you’ll be seeing some new mouseover preview across the marketplaces, sneak peek is below.

Depending on the marketplace and item type thumbnails will vary a little (as you can see above) as we have a huge array of preview types to accommodate (audio, website templates, flash etc).
To get the best results for the marketplaces with non-standard image preview sizes e.g. graphicriver & tutorials your previews should be 590px by 590px (or greater in height), most previews should be fine but having your image preview at least 590px high will address the letterbox issue.
For marketplaces like themeforest with standard preview sizes no need for you to change anything.
We’ve still got a few tweaks and other features to add to the new previews but we hope you like the first release.

Jason, did I understand you correctly that there will be a static picture preview(on VideoHive), the preview video will not play when you hover your mouse?
Looks great!

Video preview on mouseover are in project pipeline for sure, but moving to previews on mouseover is a big undertaking as we have to reprocess videos to a more suitable size for starters…but yes it is coming!
Awesome!
