Disable Thumbnail Video Preview Scrubbing?

Hi,
I'm trying to oprganize a large library of video files on a new/fast MacBook Pro with plenty of RAM. I notice that as I bring a folder of say 100 video clips into LightRoom, the machine slows down for a very long time. It seems like this is due to LR creating smaller scrub-over previews for the thumbnail (Poster View) grid. Is there current way to disable this? It's a nice feature thought, but holy resource hog, Batman!
Thanks!

Consequently if you have a MAc account on two
computers and use the same full name in the Address
Book you will have problems.
There is also a secondary issue if the comptuers have
the same name.
hey Ralph-
yeah, I could understand that, but the 2 machines do NOT have the same name, and I've set up different address book entries...one doesn't have ANY accounts active...raw machine that I just want to get the Bonjour chatting to work...
interestingly, it works MUCH better on a computer to computer network than it does with the 2 machines just accessing a Airport express that is NOT connected to the internet.

Multiple Screens Disables Monitor Video Preview

I have noticed a new bug (for me anyway) that on my Mac Pro with two video cards I cannot load clips into the monitor and get a preview. I see the clip thumbnails in the timeline, but no video preview. I just tested this by unplugging my secondary displays and that resolved the issue. Haven't yet tested with the laptop using an external display.
I did just update to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks, but I was seeing this behavior prior to that. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Hi -
Thanks for your post and attention!!
I could reproduce your problem on a Mac Pro with two graphic cards. The video could playback in Timeline panel and could hear the audio, but could not see the thumbnail view in Monitor panel. I have opened a bug for this and our team are investigating it.
Thanks & Best regards,
Jenny

Submenu Button Thumbnail Videos

I've created a submenu that has four buttons that show a thumbnail video preview of the corresponding timeline, from the beginning of the timeline. Each button links to a different video with a different speaker. However, at the beginning of each video/timeline, a person introduces the speaker. Thus, the thumbnail video preview shows the person introducing the main speaker, rather than showing the main speaker. But I want the thumbnail video preview for each button to show the main speaker at some other point in the video/timeline, not the very beginning of the timeline where the main speaker isn't there. I've tried multiple ways of accomplishing this. One way was by creating a 15-20 second m2v file of the main speaker, and placing that at the beginning of the timeline for the individual speaker, and then adding another m2v of the entire video of the speaker on the same time line (chapter 2), then making that button link to chapter 2, rather than to chapter 1, which would link to the 15-20 second video I created that is only supposed to be part of the thumbnail video preview. However, when I tell the button to link to chapter 2, it automatically changes the thumbnail video preview to show the beginning of chapter 2, which negates the work that I did. Anyone know how to fix this?

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

Problems with video previews: image freezes when scrubbing (CS6)

I just installed CS6 on my computer after working with CS5.5 and I encountered a strange problem with my EOS5D Mk 2 and also Ixus 100IS footage in Bridge CS6 (actually this happens with every video).
In CS5.5 I was able to preview my mov files and scrub through them without many problems (aside from a casual crash, but hey... )
In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again. You can imagine that scrubbing through videos isn't much fun..
Has anyone ever had a problem like that with CS6?
Since CS5.5 is still installed, I checked and found out, that in Bridge CS5.5 everything is still working fine: No video freezes there - only in CS6
I already updated to the latest graphics card driver and all updates from CS6. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
some stats about my computer:
win7 64bit
nvidia geforce GTX 590, driver 301.42
no other video software installed
Aside from that, I also realized that video quality in the preview area isn't particularly brilliant (neither in CS5.5 nor in CS6). Since the video is scaled to the preview window size, I sometimes get scaling artefacts/moirees. Is there a way to smooth the video playback, like you could in a regular video player?

Perhaps your understanding of rendering is different than mine. I think of it more as combining edits to form a new video. Are you using rendering as the same as playback? Also, not sure how you can have a system that has only CS6 files, as files are the same for CS5.5. I must be missing something here.
Manniac described the error well "In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again".
Believe that error is fixed as my video play OK now.

Having trouble disabling video previews

I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows Vista. While on Vista I only had 1.5 running on my computer. Since upgrading to Win7, I noticed that when I upload a video file into the timeline, I am forced to render a video preview file. I don't remember how to disable this so that I can go back to realtime editing. I am also having the same issue with Premiere CS4. Does anyone know how to disable preview renders in both of these versions of Premiere?

I have been using the proper file formats. Problem is I didn't have this issue before in which I would get a red line on my timeline that force me to render my project everytime I added a new scene. Only times I've ever had to render are through the use of transitons and filters. I'm not doing anything differently than I have before.

E17 - No mkv video thumbnails or previews

Hi all, I'm at my wit's end trying to fix this.
When using the elementary file manager, it simply will not generate video thumbnails or video previews for .mkv files (video/x-matroska), despite doing so for .avi, .mp4, .m4v, and others.
I believe I have the necessary gstreamer packages:
pacman -Qs gstreamer
local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.36-1
GStreamer Multimedia Framework
local/gstreamer0.10-bad 0.10.23-3
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Bad Plugin libraries (gst-plugins-bad)
local/gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins 0.10.23-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Bad Plugins (gst-plugins-bad)
local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.36-1
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base plugin libraries
local/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.36-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugins (gst-plugins-base)
local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
Gstreamer FFMpeg Plugin
local/gstreamer0.10-good 0.10.31-1
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Good plugin libraries
local/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.31-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Good Plugins (gst-plugins-good)
local/gstreamer0.10-ugly 0.10.19-5
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Ugly plugin libraries
local/gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins 0.10.19-5 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Ugly Plugins (gst-plugins-ugly)
Also, looking in the 'File Icons Settings' menu, 'video/x-matroska' does not appear, which seems to imply that the filemanager isn't creating thumbnails/previews due to not recognising the filetype.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Interestingly, if I build the emotion package with xine support, I get sound output but no video output during the preview, and thumbnails are still not generated. Building the package with vlc support got no further results.

How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can look at: Stop Autoplay: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1765

Video preview skipping/freezing after a few seconds

Hi All,
I am a new user of Premiere Pro and am having an anoying issue with video stuttering/skipping in the preview windows when editing.
I am trying to edit GoPro footage shot from a Hero 3 Black in 1080p 60fps. The video preview is at 1/2 res and it will play smoothly for about 3 seconds, then start skipping. If I pause the preview for a few seconds and restart, it catches up and plays smooth for 3 more seconds or so, then skips again.
I have tried to convert the raw gopro footage to a premier preset (MPEG-2) using brosoft video converter and have the same problem.
I thought it may be due to hardware limitations with my older PC, but I have upgraded the slowest parts of the system with no luck (the rest of the PC is running like lightening now though).
Here is the current setup:
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
CPU - AMD Phenom X4 9750 - 2.4Ghz Quad core - 64bit - specs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20X4%209750%20-%20HD9750XAJ4BGH%20(HD9750XAGH BOX).html
Ram - 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz
Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N68-VM (AM2) (sata II, not sata III compatable)
Graphics - 1535MB GeForce GTX 580 (EVGA)
HDs -
New 256GB Samsung MZ-7PD256 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive (SATA) - System drive
932GB Western Digital WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 ATA Device (SATA) - Video storage
1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 ATA Device (SATA) - General storage
Is there anything else I should be trying here or is this just a limitation of HD video??? Surely I should be able to preview what I am trying to edit without pausing the footage every 3 seconds? =(.

I have a few other things running at the same time, but I disable network, Antivirus, Media Server apps etc etc (anything thats hungry).
When play skipps I see RAM at about 50-60% useage, CPU below 50 % on all 4 cores. I have notised that the HDD spikes up to 100% at times but then drops off. I have tried running everything off my SSD and seems to make no difference.
When I render a clip, it play perfectly....so seems to just be the preview of the GoPro clips thats causing issues. I will have a play with converting the footage to something smaller/lower quallity, but that defeats the purpose of shooting HD footage.
Another thing I have been notising is that the rendered final clip is rather blury/has some issues with fast moving footage. Any ideas?

Details of video preview with Mercury Transmit in the 2014 update to After Effects CC

In the 2014 update to After Effects CC, which is available today, the technology used for video preview on an external monitor has been replaced with Mercury Transmit technology from Premiere Pro. Read about it in detail here:
http://bit.ly/AE_video_preview
Please post in this thread to discuss or ask questions about these changes.

Jef,
It's your choice if you wish to use Mercury Transmit with your AJA cards, or the AJA Preview plug-in. You do not need to uninstall anything, but you should disable the one you are not using.
The differences between the two are subtle, but can be simplified (very grossly simplified) to speed vs. accuracy.
The AJA Preview plug-in has a performance advantage over Mercury Transmit. AJA is able to optimize the frame throughput because they have better access to their hardware. You should be able to get real-time previews under most circumstances.
Mercury Transmit has better access to the After Effects pixel buffer than the AJA Preview plug-in. For example, when color management is enabled in the project, Mercury Transmit will apply color transforms. These color transforms require additional processing, which can slow down the preview speed and drop it below real-time.
Performance of video preview in After Effects (any version, using any of the available technologies) otherwise tends to be a straightforward equation of the computer's processor horsepower vs. the requirements of the frames being pushed (frame size + frame rate + color depth + color management). In the "performance of RAM preview when video preview is enabled" section of this page, I've detailed what levers you can pull to affect the performance of video preview in After Effects:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/05/video-preview-mercury-transmit-after-effects.h tml
If you continue to have problems, please post more detail about the settings you are using, especially whether you are using greater than 8-bpc color or color management in the project. Machine specs and the state of the machine, including the amount of RAM, free RAM, and other applications running, will also be helpful. Please also state, given all of the above, what frame rate is being reported in the Info panel during RAM preview playback.

Looking for pop-up video preview template

Anyone know where to get a template that does pop-up video previews?
iStockphoto.com uses a system I like...

I couldn't use your link but I think i have an idea about what you want....
try searching for "video lightbox"
http://www.shadowbox-js.com/index.html

most of these solutions usually require you to click on a thumbnail image before you see something but I would like to think the javascript would allow for mouseOver events as well.

Button video previews. Help!

I am currently working on a DVD project that requires a single video preview pane that shows video based on the focus state of a button.
For example if my Menu has 8 buttons, when 1 button is focused the preview window shows an associated clip. The idea is that when the focus state moves to button2, the preview pane will show alternate clips for button2.
Is this possible in Encore CS3, and can anyone provide information or links that could help me accomplish this goal.

Auto-activate works by activating the menu button as soon as it is selected.
So on the first menu, the first video clip is visible in the button, and the link for that button is set to the timeline that is supposed to play.
If the user navigates to the second button, then it is automatically activated and the user is taken to a duplicate menu of the first, only this time video 2 is playing in the thumbnail. If the user presses Enter on the remote, then timeline 2 plays. If the user navigates to button 3 or back to button 1, then the auto-activate feature takes them to the appropriate duplicate menu and the process is repeated.
This technique involves lots of menus, lots of complex linking and many opportunities for error. And even if you get it right, the DVD won't work correctly (and the illusion will be spoiled) on a software DVD player. When the user hovers the mouse cursor over the button on a software DVD player, that gesture is insufficient to trigger the auto-activate feature, so the menu won't change to its duplicate.
If you have background audio and/or video in the menus, then be aware that the video and audio will start over when the menus change. Again, this will spoil the illusion on *any* DVD player.

Cannot disable automatic attachment preview in Mavericks Mail?

Hello All,
I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks that Apple Mail started automatically previewing attachments again... I had disabled this in previous versions of OS X. I tried to disable this again in the terminal using:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
But after re-starting Mail, attachments are being automatically previewed again.
I consider this a security issue so I would like to disable automatic attachment previewing as soon as possible. Has anyone been able to do this with the Mail included with Mavericks yet?

Just a basic examplo: getting an email with an open image, that the 2 people around me can immediately see, can pose a serious security for anything I'm doing with my Mac!
So, you see, SECURITY is much more than a mere technical problem!
Cheers
That's a privacy problem, not a security problem.
If you are receiving images in emails that the others arround you are not qualified to see, your office setup is the security problem, not Mail.
Use a different email client that gives you the option. I have no idea what those are, though.

No more audio or video preview in column view?

weird one... on my powerbook (g4) i suddenly have no ability to play/preview audio or video file in column view in the finder. works fine on my desktop machine with the same os and such...? highlighting a file just gives its name and dates and such, no ability to preview.
using 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3. tried updating prebinding (and other normal quickfixes). think i might need to reinstall quicktime?

well, yes i tried all the basic quick fixes. (plus diskwarrior and applejack, etc.)
i thought i might find it in some of the preferences of finder or quicktime but no go.
the weirder thing is that if you highlight an audio or video file in the column view, while it gives no audio or video preview, if you click on the "get more info" button (or command-i) there will be the audio or video preview.
???
