What

After the render, the video is re-encoded to begin with the thumbnail for one frame (1/30 s), then the intro as before. The sound is delayed by that frame. The video keeps its own bitrate, with a ceiling of 1.25 times that, so it stays small: 8.2 MB against 10.4 MB, under the 10 MiB Discord accepts as an attachment.

Why

Discord shows the first frame of a video as its preview. The intro starts on the bare background, so the announcement showed an empty picture. The preview is now the thumbnail.

Cost

A second encode of the video, about 10 s on a laptop, and one frame of the thumbnail at the start of the video, as on YouTube.

A chat shows the first frame of a video as its preview, and the intro starts
on the bare background, so the Discord announcement showed an empty picture.
The video now begins with the thumbnail for one frame, then the intro as
before. It is encoded again at its own bitrate, which kept it smaller.
