<p>Sometimes we need to show the different images of a video on our post instead embedding the whole video. To give a video snippet it is a quick way to embed web video thumbnails on your post (youtube and vimeo only this time). More video sites support will be added soon.</p>
<p>How does this plugin work ?</p>
<p>You need to put some keywords with your video URL as below:</p>
<p>images_link                     : Fetches image thumbnails<br />
images_withlink_link    : Fetches image thumbnails with a hyperlink to original video</p>
<p>e.g. images_http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx</p>
<p>e.g. images_http://vimeo.com/xxxxxx</p>
