I uploaded the poster of my short film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4396680/ but the still of the movie appears as the poster of the film. How can I change it?

I hope you can help me!

Hi Mario -

While all title images are now free, we don't support primary image designation at the moment. We are currently investigating ways to ensure the most representative image for the title is the primary image.

yeah, but when I uploaded the first still image on IMDb there was an option to choose what type was the image (poster, still frame, behind the scenes and so on) and I chose "still frame", so I can't understand why it appears as a poster. If the most representative image for the title is the primary image, why do we have to select an image type? what's the point?

And now I have uploaded the poster for real (selecting "poster" type) and it doesn't appear as a poster. It's wonderfull that we can upload free images now, but I think this tool is not working very well, so IMDb should fix it as soon as possible, because I'm not the only one who's having trouble on uploading posters...

Me too. I think simple poster prefer rules will be useful, such as poster > still > Behind the Scenes.
