Comment (by pavelevap):

 OK, after a while :-)

 So we have "Poster image" which we can set for any inserted video file. It
 is only available for one place, it is a part of video shortcode. So, I
 can create post, upload video and now I have to insert it into post to
 access Video Details and then set Poster Image? But this Poster Image is
 related only to current place in editor and not saved anywhere?

 Then we have "Featured image" for media files. So I can upload several
 video files, create Video Playlist and then I have to go to Media Library,
 find the first video in my Video Playlist and use "Set Featured Image".
 Then, this image can be seen as a preview of Video Playlist. But it has to
 be attached to video which is first in this playlist! And finally, this
 featured image is not used when inserting only one video file. In this
 case I have to check Video Details modal and set the same image as "Poster
 Image" even if I set it as "Featured image"?

 Really?

 So we have for users both "Poster Image" and "Feature image" and they are
 not the same. I would expect that setting "Featured image" would be
 helpfull for every video file and "Poster Image" only for video playlists
 (as a part of shortcode). It would make much more sense, I guess...
