The answer is here https://askubuntu.com/a/1080512/740291 thanks to Hatsune which is slightly different to HattinGokbori87 solution...
sudo apt install ffmpegthumbnailer
Then I restarted the computer but I still could not see the video's thumbnails in the file manager, so I tried to install another package like this: (edit: this is the important part to get it working for Ubuntu 20.10)
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav
Then cleaned up the directory like this:
rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail
Re-opened the Ubuntu file manager, it works!
Update: For Ubuntu 20.04 this method still applies (I just upgraded my computer operating system from Ubuntu 19.10 to Ubuntu 20.04). edit: This works for 20.10 also.
