Continuously generating thumbnails
The system has been generating thumbnails for several hours even after two restarts. Prev
iously had no such problem. Have about 12,000 images in general catalog.
I had the same problem and it turned out to be a corrupted catalogue file...had to start an entirely new one; instructions on removing the corrupted one were provided by Adobe and likely are in the history of posts.....

Problems in generating thumbnails in iMovie08
I just downloaded 6GB worth of video from my Sanyo XactiHD camera into my iPhoto. When i launch my iMovie08, it asks for permissions for generating thumbnails and then it closes down. It has imported stills and video into iPhoto perfectly, but fails to generate thumbnails in iMovie (other projects open fine, if i skip the thumbnail generation and postpone importing the new video). I have tried three or four times and it still crashes. I tried importing directly into iMovie and it still crashes with a message "iMovie application quit unexpectedly". Any suggestions on how to deal with it?
Regards
SanjeevIf you have corrupted thumbnails you can try the suggestion to delete either the whole _iMovie Thumbnails_ folder or individual files in there. Then restart iMovie and let it regenerate the thumbnails.
If iMovie continually fails to generate thumbnails for some clips (as it seems to do for some clips imported from my Sony Cybershot) I figured *as a workaround* you can "manually" generate Thumbnails if you open the movie in Quicktime and can Export in Photo-JPEG at 120x90 resolution and drop the file into the iMovie Thumbnails folder for your event. Note that the movie you export has the same name as the source minus the .mov extension.

To do this for many clips this would be annoying I know, I'm thinking that you could create an Automator workflow to do this for all the files but I haven't done this yet. If I work on that I will post more info here.
I also talk about this issue here:

Each time I apply an adjustment, Aperture 3 starts processing and there is a fairly significant lag until I am able to apply the next adjustment (sometimes up to a minute). If I open the activity window, it says "Generating Thumbnails... 2." It gradually finishes one and then the other, and once they are both processed I can continue with the next adjustment. I did not have to deal with this lag in Aperture 2, so I'm wondering if this is a problem on my system or a new "feature" in Aperture 3? Are others having the same problem with processing after every adjustment?
As background, I am using 18MP Canon 7D RAW files with Aperture 3.0.1 in a brand new library which only contains the 9 test files I imported for testing. I also had the same problems with 3.0 and even tried making adjustments to much smaller with JPG master images as well, but that did not change anything.kakgungor wrote:
Thanks for the suggestions. I have de-selected "Enable faces" and the "New projects automatically generate previews" check boxes in Preferences. The "Processing..." lag still occurs, however now it only shows 1 thumbnail being generated between each adjustment being applied instead of 2. Am I missing something else in order to stop the thumbnails from being re-generated each time?
I have the same issue, though it doesn't put AP3 on its knees.
It has nothing to do with previews (as they are generated when importing images), only with thumbnails generation. As far as I can see, there is no option regarding to the generation of thumbnails. I, for one, would appreciate an option like "generate updated thumbnails when quitting Aperture" or something. Did a report to Apple. -
Explorer crashing when generating thumbnails view for large (4GB) video (.TS) files
I am suffering consistent application crashes in Windows Explorer when it tries to generate thumbnails.
The error is reported as COM Surrogate has stopped working with an APPCRASH of dllhost.exe in module msvcrt.dll.
This only but always happens in the following circumstances. A folder set to view tiles or icons (with thumbnail view option NOT disabled). This folder contains several sub-folders, each of which contain video files. As explorer scans the
folder and its sub-folders, generating thumbnails for each, whenever it encounters a video file (.TS) that is 3.99GB or larger. COM surrogate crashes again. Closing COM Surrogate will then allow explorer to continue to scan the remaining sub-folders
until it encounters the next large file.
If I subsequently open one of the sub-folders where it crashed trying to generate a thumbnail, and refresh the folder, it will successfully generate a thumbnail for the video file. If I then return to the main folder and change the customization of the sub-folder
from video to document and back to video, explorer then successfully generates the folder icon with the inset video thumbnail.
I have tried this in safe mode and the problem persists.
Can anybody please help as I am pulling my hair out.Hi Roger.
Almost all of my media files are TS, and all of my large (4GB) files are TS files, so I cannot tell if other file types have the same problem. I did try renaming the TS files to be .mpg (they still play as mpg) but this did not help.
However, I have downloaded and used ShelleExView and this has proved very useful. For the benefit of anyone else with a similar problem and using this very useful tool, I will detail the technique I used.
First, using ShellExView, I disabled various groups of extensions to identify which, if any, were relevant. After disabling/enabling each set I performed a system restart to ensure the changes took effect. This was not actually necessary as restarting
Windows Explorer (via Task Manager) works equally well (but this loses my customm Taskbar toolbar).
Also, before re-opening the folders containing the problem files, I deleted the icon cache (I could have done this manually but chose to use CCleaner's delete Thumbnail Cache option as this was quick and easy). I then viewed the folders containing
the problem files, watching to see what effect the changes in ShellExView had made.
Using ShellExView, I progfessively disabled by Type (e.g. Thumbnail, Icon Handler), then by Company (e.g. non-Microsoft), then by Product (e.g. MS Office, Windows Search). The result was that I identified the extension that was creating the thumbnails:
Icaros Thumbnail Provider (installed as part of the K-Lite codec pack).
Hoping I had found the cause, I removed K-Lite from my system and checked again. No thumbnails (as expected), but COM Surrogate continued to crash (I have subsequently reinstalled K-Lite as I need this to play my media files). Further analysys
with ShellExView then identified a further problem extension: Microsoft's MF MPEG Property Handler.
With both extensions (Icaros Thumbnail Provider & MF MPEG Property Handler) disabled, COM Surrogate does not crash. With either one enabled, but not the other, COM Surrogate crashes. These two extensions are therefore both individually causing
the crashes. This leads me to wonder if they perhaps have something in common (e.g. a dll).
Although disabling these extensions stops the crashes, I of course alos lose what they provide: file details (e.g. media length etc.) and thumbnails. So simply disabling them is not a solution.
Is it possible to idenitfy what, if anything, they have in common (which may be the true culprit)?
Alternatively, are there other ways I can continue to obtain file property information and thumnails without using these extensions? -
Why Constantly Generating Thumbnails?
Starting yesterday, PSE9 organizer is constantly generating thumbnails. And very slow to show images. I let it run all night and it was still "generating thumbnails" even though all showed. Looks like it's stuck in a loop. What to do?
I think this is due to loop caused by corrupt files in the file list that got through the screening process.
If you exit during this loop it sometimes leaves the elementsorganiser.exe running as a an orphaned process and the you may not be able to restart the organiser unless you kill the process or re-boot
The loop often continues even if you kill the process or re-boot.
I have found three fixes:
1. Try and find the corrupt files and remove them from the organiser, time consuming if you have a large number of files.
2. Delete all the files in the catalogue.
3. Create a new catalogue and open it, then try a repair on the original catalogue.
All three have worked for me; the orphan process and generating thumbnails loop disappear
Hope this helps -
IMovie Needs To Generate Thumbnails
When I open iMovie I get this message:
iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes.
You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie.
I can either choose Later or Now. When I choose now, it begins to "generate my thumbnails", but the time remaining starts at about 2 minutes and continues to climb until the time remaining is as high as 100 minutes and I have to force quit. When I choose later, all of my clips have an exclamation point in the corner and I am unable to view any of them.
How do I fix this?Hey!!!!
What imovie is doing is basically making all the movie clips from iphoto accessible. The amount of movie clips you have in iphoto affects the time. You might try going through your movies in iphoto and cutting back on the ones you don't need. Or you could just wait.
Sometimes the mac estimated time things do the climbing thing. Depending on what you are doing, they sometimes drop as quickly as they climb.
The fact of the matter is that it might just take that long. So you just have to be patient.

How to continuously generate a pulse train with variable frequency
Dear all,
I am trying to use NI-USB 6259(BNC) to send Pulse signals to conduct position control of a servo motor with labview. The position control of servo motor follows these rules:
The number of the pulse train determines how many degrees the motor rotate ;( e.g. the angular position of motor)
The frequency of pulses determines how fast the motor rotate; (e.g. the speed of motor rotating)
The digital determines the direction of rotation of motor (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise)
My question comes when I need to continuously generate a finite plus train signal in a period of time. Below is a sample:
Time(s)
Number of pulses
Direction of rotation
(1 is clockwise, 0 is counterclockwise)
Frequency
0-1
923
1
923hz
1-2
3540
0
3540hz
2-3
1751

1751hz

0
302hz
8-9
1513
1
1513hz
9-10
570
1
570hz
Here is the explanation of this table, the motor keeps rotating in clockwise direction during 0~1s. When the time reaches 1s, the motor just complete the rotation of 923 pulse signals. And then the motor starts to rotate in counterclockwise direction during 1s~2s. When the time reaches 2s, the motor just complete the rotation of 3540 pulse signals. So we can see that the rotating speed of motor in 0~1s is different from the speed in 1s~2s. Namely, the frequency of pulse signal in 0~1s is different from the frequency in 1s~2s.
I have already use the counter output of DAQmx, it just can generate pulse signal with certain numbers and certain frequency in one time. The attachment is the vi which can generate a finite digital pulse train from a counter output channel and the frequency, duty cycle, Initial delay, and Idle state are all configurable.
How can I continuously generate a series of pulse train with varying numbers and frequencies during a certain period of time.
Thank you very much for your help!

I already checked that article. The frequency in that Vi can change dynamically, but the method of adjusting the frequency is ‘manual’ .Below is the front panel of that Vi. When the Vi is running we can change the frequency by press the button.

Imovie 9.09 unable to generate thumbnails on my iMac running 10.6.8
I'm trying to digitise camcorder footage currently saved on vhs tape. Although I'm now using a 27"iMac running Yosemite, I don't have the usb lead with the std usb connector on the computer end to connect the digitiser to it, so I'm using my old iMac running 10.6.8 and iMovie 9 as I have the correct lead for that iMac.
I did a test one minute file transfer and this digitised, opening it in iMovie 10, ok so I saved it onto a USB stick and transferred it to the 27" iMac though without any content displayed in the clip. Even so, it plays ok so I'd be content if the remaining tapes got digitised with this problem. But.....
When I tried to import 2 hours as one file the conversion appeared to be going ok until I stopped it. I then got a message saying that it was generating thumbnails and would take a minute. this changed to 2, then 9, then 2 hours, then 4 hours. After it had been running for 12 hours with no change in the 4 hours estimated for generating the thumbnails i did a force quite, then tried to get back into iMovie.
When it opened, it went straight into generating thumbnails, estimating the time needed as 9 minutes. It's now been stuck on "less than a minute" for about 30 mins so I'm about to do another force quit.
All suggestions welcomed, ideally to generate thumbails in the shortest time possible - though I'd be content just to get the file transferred with no thumbnails.
Advice please.Save the photos to the camera roll on the iPad, then connect it to your computer with a USB cable. You can import the photos using iPhoto if you have it or image capture if you don't.

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.
Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.

PSE 6 generating thumbnails on 128 pics for 2 days
I'm running Win 7 and PSE 6 and have 37,000+ pics and videos in my catalog...been using PSE since v2.
I came home from vacation the other day, imported 128 pics from an SD card, and PSE 6 has been generating thumbnails for those pics for almost 2 days...the pics themselves are there as I can see them fine if I double-click on them. I was able to attach a tag to the new pics.
The thumbnails from my other 37,000 photos are still there/visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks...More information on fixing thumbnail problems:

Automatic Import and "Generating Thumbnails"
I just installed imovie 08, and I have a couple of problems/questions.
1) When I start the Import Process, the Toggle that selects for Automatic or Manual import, goes to Manual and I can't change it..???
2) After some video is imported the computer takes a long time "generating Thumbnails". This never happened with iMovie HD.
Any comments, advice?
Thanks.. Gil2) After some video is imported the computer takes a long time "generating Thumbnails". This never happened with iMovie HD.
After importing the video, iMovie '08 creates a tiny movie showing the same frames as the imported video, but in a much smaller frame. Those are the "thumbnails". This movie is used for skimming.
iMovie HD didn't offer the skimming feature so it didn't need to build these thumbnails.

FDK: Generating Thumbnails of FrameMaker File pages
Hi There
I'm wondering is it possible to generate thumbnails of individual pages of a FrameMaker document programmatically, using the FDK?
I've had a look through the FDK reference document but couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks
EricFM doesn't have any thumbnails created or stored internally, so you would have to create a plug-in that rasterizes the page and stores it in a FrameImage format in an allowable container.
For what purpose and how would you view these thumbnails? -
Premiere Pro 5.5.2 crashes when generating thumbnails; faults ImageRenderer.dll
Hello all! I'm a new Premiere user. I've been working on a review show, and it's been going great for the last month. A few days ago, however, Premiere Pro started acting wonky. Part of my show involves putting in small clips from other sources, typically 3-4 seconds. With this most recent show, Premiere Pro started crashing left and right without warning. It took me a few days to narrow down the source.
ImageRenderer.dll seems to be crashing when attempting to generate thumbnail images of the sourced clips. Everything else seems to work fine. It seemed to start when I used the Clip Speed / Duration function to slow down a 30fps clip to about 25% speed. I realized later that the clips were at 30fps in a 24fps timeline (the rest of my material is 24fps). Once I changed the clip's speed, Premiere started crashing, perhaps due to how the clip interacted with the timeline. I removed the offending clip, but it seemed that the damage was done. I discovered that if I deleted the source file from the project inventory pane Premiere wouldn't crash.
I just recently discovered that if I collapse the video track of the source clip, Premiere won't generate thumbnails for those clips and thus remains stable. I stress-tested my rig all day yesterday using MemTest86 and Prime95, with no errors. I also uninstalled Premiere Pro, rebooted, and reinstalled from scratch. I still get the ImageRenderer.dll crash when Premiere attempts to generate thumbnails for the clips. So far I do have a workaround (collapse the video track) but I would like to figure out a better solution for it. I even created a new project and re-sourced the clips into a different frame rate.
Any help would be appreciated!

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage --> Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.
But if exe is launched as standalone, then interface IExtractImage --> Extract, gives Bitmap to generate thumbnail of PDF document.
Above problem occurs only for PDF documents, if we tried same with other software like CAD -CATIA it works without any problem.
Is there any security concerns form PDF side, which doesn't allow to generate Bitmaps, if exe to generate it is launched form Windows service.It might be deliberate, Acrobat and Reader software is not intended to run in a service environment.
