Why Is the Inserted Video Thumbnail Missing in the Preview Image of the Video Composited Using the API?

This is because the parameter image_config of the API for creating a virtual avatar video production task is not configured. Specifically:

When the API for creating a virtual avatar video production task is called to insert video materials, layer_type is set to VIDEO (video material layer) and video_config should be specified. You also need to specify image_config, which is used to upload an image as the inserted video thumbnail. In this way, the inserted video thumbnail can be viewed in the preview image of the composited video.
