Since this bug was making an issue, how i approached this was to use a timer to hide it for 100ms and so that it is forced to rerender. i ll post the code for it below.

const [
      forceRerender,
      setForceRerender,
  ] =useState(ZERO)
  useEffect(() => {
      if (src) {
          setForceRerender(ZERO)
     
      const timer = setTimeout(() => {
          setForceRerender(forceRerender+ ONE)
      }, HUNDRED)
      return () => clearTimeout(timer)
}
  }, [
      src,
  ])
return (
{ forceRerender > ZERO &&<VideoThumbnail
                          videoUrl={src}
                      />}
)

Where the src is the url incoming from the props.
This worked out for me. Good luck!
P.S in case the logic can be improved, please do let me know!
