On Arch, I use ffmpegthumbnailer to accomplish this.

Good idea

Roughly how big are these files, and are they stored locally on your machine or mounted over the network (using FUSE, GVFS, or a kernel-based one like NFS?)

I’ve noticed a few linux file managers are quite cautious loading multimedia thumbnails for networked filesystems mounted with GVFS, not sure of a fix for that aside from looking for a command line utility to mount using FUSE instead

These files are anywhere between 600 MB to 1.5 GB in size and thet are stored locally on my PC.

Look for preview size in the settings for your file manager and increase it.

Something similar happened to me once and installing tumblerd fixed it.

There should be an option in the setting to choose the max file size for which to generate the thumbnails.

This is what I see when I open Gnome Files, click on the icon with three lines, and select Preferences (there’s no option for choosing the max size):

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
