Happily, they don't need them.  If the poster conveys information *additional to* the video, then that information should included at the beginning of the information that describes the video.  The poster is not an independent entity.

If the front door of the restaurant actually includes information about the restaurant, include a description of it in the description of the restaurant.  But don't describe the front door and leave the rest to be guessed at.
