COntrol the content of the_content() function

Hello,

I wonder if is there a possibility to control the content of the_content() function in template.
I would like to use WP for a video site, where on the homepage would be the image thumbnails of videos and on the single page would be the video - without those thumbnails - only way I can do it now is to use "display:none" for the thumbnails with CSS, but I would like it to do PHP way so they won't be there in the code too.

Any ideas?

could be a better option.

 

Thank you I will look at it, I hope it will help.
