Hey there.
I'm using an Education theme for my site, and I rely on images and gifs to grab my audience's attention. A few of my posts are just YouTube videos I created. But I can't see any images in the preview. They show up once you click to read the whole article, but there's no eye catching photo to draw your attention to the article in the preview on the main blog roll.
Is this a glitch that can be fixed in code? Or a trait of the theme? If so, is there a widget I can install to get around it?
All suggestions appreciated!
By 'preview' I assume you mean as a featured image would show in a list of blog posts. This is not a fault of WP or Genesis or the theme, simply the fact that your video is not the featured image for the post.
Try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/replace-featured-image-with-video/

When I say "preview" I mean the part of the post you see on the main site before clicking on the page to read the whole thing. I like to use images to draw people in, but now all that shows up is text. It doesn't format in the preview, either. It's just solid text with no images or line break unless you click on the article.
Link to your site please.

Specify the size and alignment desired.
Do not add a featured image, your first image will be used instead. If you wish to have a video appear as a featured image, see my post above.For the question of formatting, WP ignores HTML in the excerpt, you can change this using Brad Dalton;s tutorial:
