If it is to display on browser, You can use HTML5 Video, this will generate a thumbnail from video at 4 seconds.

  <video  width="400" height="300" controls id="videopreview" preload="metadata"  >
    <source src="uploads/video_name.mp4#t=4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

$video is a string, so you cannot access the method frame().

You want:

$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();
$video = $ffmpeg->open("a.mp4");

See the basic usage example.
