Wondering if it's possible to use the Featured Post Image as the video thumbnail.

This is what I currently have on my site:

<div class="video-block-video">
<?php echo types_render_field('video-file', array('poster' => the_post_thumbnail('large')));?>
</div>

However, the output isn't exactly what I expected. The thumbnail appears above the video. I'd like it to appear in place of the first frame of the video (which is currently black). Is it possible for the thumbnail to appear behind the play button?
