I am using an application to record a live stream to an mp4 file and an amazon S3 bucket is used to permanently store the file.

I want to move generating thumbnail images to the bucket with the recorded video file.

However, **ModuleMediaWriterFileMover** only works with the video file and generated thumbnails are left in EC2.

What is the easiest and best way to implement the automatic thumbnail movement to S3?

Hi,

At the end of you thumbnail generation script, you would have to call the file mover method to have it process the thumbnail file.

The following should work.

```auto
appInstance.notifyMediaWriterOnWriteComplete(stream, file);

```
