  • Using Jmagick to create Thumbnail of video file

    Hello ,
    I have used Imagemagick to create the thumbnail of video file, but it takes a lot of time to generate the thumbnail.
    So, is there anyway to capture thumbnail a bit faster than it does?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The "fast" way to do it is to open a video file as a binary data file, strip off the header, and convert the section of data representing the first frame into an image. That'd be super fast, but take a long, long, long, long, long time to implement as you'd have to write a custom one for each video format.

  • Any way to change default point where iTunes creates thumbnail for videos?

    Is there any way to change the default point in time where iTunes creates its own auto-generated thumbnail previews for videos when you drag them into your Library and view them all using the "Movies" section in the left panel?
    So when you look at them all using Cover Flow view, for example.
    I know you change the thumbnail for each video after the fact, or even batch-add thumbnail artwork for several videos at once, but that's not what I'm after...
    I have a WHOLE LOAD of videos that are non-sensically named (Y1_D1-4, etc.), and I want to import them all into iTunes.
    Of course I will also need to change the NAMES of these movies as well.
    They are actually TV shows, which illustrates the following point:
    What all these "movies" have in common is that their intro sequences are all EXACTLY the same length, before they then show the title of the particular show.
    Now, if I could get iTunes to use this point in time as it's setting for creating default thumbnails, that would help me in two ways:
    Firstly, it would create the thumbnail that I want, and secondly, it would also show me the title of the show, so I could easily re-name the file there and then, without having to scrub back and forth, to find the name of the show.
    Any clues anyone...?

    I don't have a direct answer to your question, but you can speed up what you're doing by pressing the "return" key after the first click instead of pausing, then clicking a second time.

  • Black thumbnails for video files

    hi, i'm having problems with black thumbnails showing up in iPhoto 06 for mp4 video files
    mpeg files work fine, and the same mp4 files actually work in iTunes (meaning iTunes generates a correct thumbnail but iphoto thumbnails are black)
    does anyone know how to correct this?
    thanks very much

    thanks larry. when i open in quicktime and go to the first frame, it is not black. also, for some reason, when i import the movies into itunes, the thumbnails show up fine (i.e. no black frame). i'm guessing that it has something to do with how iPhoto generates the thumbnail (vs. iTunes), but i don't know enough to change these settings.
    if the first frame is in fact black, do you know if there is a way to force iphoto to use something other than the first frame when generating thumbnails?
    thanks very much.

  • No Thumbnails for AVI files in organizer

    My AVI Video clips are not showing thumbnails in the PSE 11 Orgazizer.
    Here is what I have observed as I have been troubleshooting this:
    The files are MJPEG.
    When I double click on it in the organizer window, I get audio, but no video.
    If I open the file for edit in Premier Elements, the video thumbnail shows up in project assests and the video correctly plays in the Premier Elements editor.
    If I double click on the files in Windows Explorer they open up in Quicktime Version 7.
    The thumbnails for the files show in up windows explorer when I browse to the folder they are in.
    I selected a file in PSE, chose 'Export to New File" and the file that I created by doing that showed a generic Quicktime icon without the thumbnail in windows explorer. When I double click on that file it correctly plays in Quicktime.
    Selecting "Update Thumbnail" has no effect.
    Thumnails are corrctly showing for .mov, .mpg and .mp4 file types.
    Any one have any ideas what is going on with the organizer that might be causing this beavior or is this a know limitation of PSE Organizer. What is the point of having the organizer supporting video If I can't see the video without opening it in the Premier Elements Editor?
    I am providing the "Systems Info" if that helps anyone.

    I do not use Organizer, but instead Adobe Bridge (included with some other Adobe programs, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro), or ThumbsPlus (Cerious Software), and find that some AV formats/CODEC's just do not display thumbnails. I have had that issue with some, like MPEG-1 files, some WMV files, almost anything with DivX, or Xvid.
    I have not used any MJPEG files, so cannot comment on them, but have helped others Import and edit those (never tried to work with any in Organizer, Bridge or ThumbsPlus), and in those cases, it usually boiled down to having the exact MJPEG CODEC installed. As each camera mfgr. seems intent on tweaking the MJPEG CODEC, it is normally possible to Import and edit, if THAT particular MJPEG CODEC is installed, and usually from the camera's utiltiy disc. Other times, the generic Morgan, or MainConcept MJPEG CODEC's have worked - though that seems to be less often, as Nikon, Panasonic, and others, keep tweaking.
    As for the display of any problem AV files, it is usually an inability of the organizing utility to find a proper display, though in some cases, there IS a display, but the first Frame of the AV file is black, with a Dip-to-Black (in this case basically a Fade-in) Transition.
    Good luck, and I wish that I had a fail-safe way to always display a thumbnail for ALL AV files, and even better, the ability to set the Poster Frame to what I wanted. So far, no organizer utility, that I have seen, can display thumbs for ALL AV formats - some will handle some AV formats/CODEC's, that others will not, but none has been perfect.

  • Thumbnails For QuickTime Files In Windows XP?

    Windows XP shows thumbnail previews of video files in Windows Explorer. However, it doesn't show thumbnails for QuickTime files. Does anyone know why this is? Does Windows Vista also share this problem? Is there a way to add this feature to Windows XP?

    One other thing to explore - do these particular files begin with Black Video?
    Good luck,

  • Custom thumbnail for a file type, not a single file

    I understand that when I upload an asset to the DAM of a file type for which CQ5 doesn't support thumbnail generation (Excel .xls and .xlsx, in my case), CQ5 will use a default dogeared-page icon for the thumbnail.  it also writes an error-level message to the log to the effect that it can't generate a thumbnail.  E.g.,
    15.10.2012 12:03:47.078 ERROR [JobHandler: /etc/workflow/instances/2012-10-15/model_1135358760340484:/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original] com.day.cq.dam.commons.handler.AbstractAssetHandler createThumbnails: cannot create thumbnails for asset [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls], failed loading graphical representation for rendition [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original].
    The error message is mostly harmless, but I would like to prevent it.
    And I understand that I can add a thumbnail after the fact.  But despite the language in the document, apparently this thumbnail does not apply to subsequent uploads (for all files of the same type).
    Is there a way to establish a thumbnail image that applies to subsequent uploads?

    Hi David,
    Thumbnail upload (or for that matter any rendition upload) is specific to that image and it will not apply to set of images.
    If we want to apply some custom thumbnail instead of the default one either we need to override the default image or custom workflow step is required.
    If we override the default image it will apply acroos the DAM.
    Regarding custome workflow step. This step will be added after thumbnail creation step in DAM Update Asset workflow(this wf is responsible for creating all renditions). In this workflow step you can check whether thumbnail is created or not if not create thumbnail of your desire.

  • Thumbnails for Videos and Movies are Blank or Black?

    I've just "upgraded" to iPhoto 11. Now most of my video or movie files have black and blank thumbnails. The movies don't start out with a black frame, it's that iPhoto isn't registering a thumbnail for some reason. I looked through the archive but the suggestions are focused on previous versions of iPhoto.
    Any suggestions?

    I tried this as well. Rebuilding with all the different rebuild options (which does take a long time) and with no joy I'm afraid - still have black thumbnails for video images.
    FYI: Tried a rebuilding in iPhoto Library Manager too
    Problem still persists.  Any one have any ideas on this, I have so many videos with this issue ... black thumbnail image/preview in iPhoto - but (thankfully) the video file is definitely there and does play.
    Any ideas appreaciated.

  • Create a new video file by editing & clipping old video?......Premiere CS4

    How do I take an existing video file (.wav, .mpeg, etc...) & delete unwanted footage to create a new video file? I currently have some video footage of my family but the sound & video dont play synced togather in Premiere? Any suggestions......?

    The first two concerns are the source footage and then the Project/Sequence Preset.
    What are these? This answer will direct others on how they suggest that you proceed.
    For OOS issues, having your source footage in the proper format will go a long way to solving such issues. For "fixing" OOS, this ARTICLE might be useful.

  • How to use custom thumbnail for video

    Hi guys,
    Wonder if there is a way to embed a custom picture file to become the thumbnail of your video but not be part of the video when it's playing.
    Just a picture with whatever text you want on it?
    thanks.

    Adobe's dvd maker program Encore allows you to choose a poster frame for their video buttons that display in your Encore menus
    maybe that is what you are thinking of?
    and yes, I would like to choose the custom thumbnail for video as you too

  • Thumbnails for mkv files

    After installing Perian and Movist (a video player software), I believe that I have solved most of the problems for mkv files in Leopard. I can play .mkv videos in either Quicktime or Movist, and I can tap the spacebar to quicklook the video when browsing in Finder. But one thing that I cannot change is that the thumbnails for these files remains a generic icon, unlike .mov files that have thumbnails of the screens of the movie. Thus when I'm browsing with cover flow, I can only quicklook the mkv files in pop-out window, rather than playing it in the upper part of Finder as what I can do with .mov or .avi files.
    Is there anyway to improve this? I know Mac may not support .mkv files as good as .mov, so I'm wondering if there's any third party softwares that I can rely on to resolve this problem? I'll be grateful if somebody could shed some lights on this.

    Hope someone knows it. Thanks again!

  • Is there an equivalent to Aperture for video files?

    Between capturing video on my iPhone as well as my point and shoot camera, I now have hundreds of video files in Aperture side by side with my photos.
    I'd really like to move these files out of Aperture, but I wonder if anyone can recommed a good program similar to Aperture, but just for video files? I would want it to have the capability to access files on an external drive, the same way that an Aperture library can be kept on an external drive.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you considered iTunes as a movie organizer? That is where I am storing my finished movies.
    Something mainly for cataloguing video as opposed to an application that is primarily for editing video.
    See the iMovie help for organizing video in iMovie:
    iMovie '11: Organize your videoiMovie can be used to create movie projects from your raw footage, and to store and organize video into a video library.
    I use iMovie to keep all unedited clips tucked away in nested folders in iMovies "Event library; there is simply no use of having thousands of clips that badly need editing bloating up the Aperture library. And I use the "Projects" library to organize my editing projects.
    The finished movies are, the ones that I want to use in slideshows and other presentations are stored in my iTunes library.
    In iTunes I can tag them with Genres, titles, descriptions and other info.
    iTunes lets my browse and earch them in many ways.
    iTunes makes them available in the Media browser for other applications. If I need a movie for a slideshow in Aperture I add it from the Media Browser.
    iTunes lets me sync the movies to my handheld devices and present them.
    For my needs these tho applications together - iMovie for the clips and editing projects, plus iTunes for the finihed movies to shared are just perfect.
    In iMovie: events (clips organized in folders by date and location and disk) and projects (organized in folders by topic),
    In iTunes: Finished movies to be shared: properly tagged and captioned for searching and sharing
    This workflow lets me keep the clips of current editing projects on my mac. Once the movie is finished, I use iMovie to relocate the events with original clips and the project to an external drive and keep only the edited and finished movie in iTunes. But the iMovie event library will till show me, which drives I need to connect to give me easy access to all older events and projects.

  • Creating Thumbnail for asset FAIL

    Hi!
    We recently installed FCS and have begun to do some testing. We have "Edit Proxies" enabled. When we upload small FCP projects everything works fine and edit proxies are created. If we upload a FCP project with large media files, Final Cut server seems to be trying to create the Thumbnail for the large media file before it has uploaded to the server. This creates an error (FAIL) in the Search all jobs window. After that, FCS doesn't attempt to create either Edit proxy or Clip proxy for that file. It moves on to the next media file in the FCP project. If this is a small file, FCS successfully creates proxies for that file. Anybody that can give us some help with this?
    Thanks in advance
    Patrik

    Verify that you can actually open the files in Quicktime on the Mac running the Final Cut Server (Server Software). Do this by logging on via Apple Remote Desktop, Screen Sharing, or via the KVM switch if your system is in a server room.
    If you can successfully open/read/playback the Decklink codecs directly off the server then you can eliminate that. I would then try to transcode the file using the copy of Compressor that's on the FCSvr, this will simulate a proxy encode.

  • What is the best converter for video files in mpeg, avi, wmv, mps, etc for imovie and what type of video files does the iMovie use? I recently purchased a MacBook Pro -version 10.10.1. I make movies, but the iMovie does not support my video files.
