Displaying Thumbnails in Organizer

Majority of my Videos I have downloaded from my Sony DCR-DVD410E HandyCam using Sony's PMB program and they are stored in MPG format.
When importing these Videos into Organizer the thumbnail displays as a piece of old film and also it cannot be played in Organizer.
I have a fairly new system with Windows 7. If I convert them to .WMV then they display and play OK but I obviously do not want to reduce the size and quality. I guess this is probably a Codec issue and would like assistance on which way to proceed.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Steve - thanks again for responses. Since posting I have found a number of Forums discussing this particular topic and have subsequently sent off a request for change to Adobe.
Fortunately I have a second monitor installed so I can scan through my files/thumbnails using Windows media Player or the original Sony PMB software whilst editting in PRE8 but somehow it seems to defeat the object of having bought PRE8 in the first place.
Since purchasing PRE8 I have been reading all of the posts on this Forum with interest and would like to say a big thank you to you all who appear to spend a great deal of time in answering our queries.
Regards.

  • Thumbnails in Organizer are already corrected?

    The thumbnails in the organizer seem to be corrected for color, brightness, etc.  For example...three bracketed exposures of the same scene appear as identical thumbnails in the Organizer. I would like to see exactly what I shot. I cannot find a preference for this. Is there one?
    If I open them in Camera Raw and select "Default" and then close Camera Raw, the Organizer now displays the file as it was shot.

  • Missing thumbnails in organizer (v5)

    Why do only some thumbnails display in the organizer? I need thumbnails shown of ALL image files in each folder.
    For ex, I copied a bunch of images into a project folder for editing. Only 3 files out of maybe 80 show up as thumbnails in organizer. The original versions in other folders do have thumbnails. I have the folder set to automatically update.

    Just a late thought-are there possible duplicate files? You said you copied some to a project folder. Elements does not like duplicates (even if in different folders).
    Organzier uses tags and collections for subdividing/grouping photos, instead of folders. So if Folder 1 has 50 pictures and you need 10 for a special project, you can tag these with Project 1 and filter on only those. Or you could make a Project 1 collection, do your editing and stuff and then export these to a slide show or disk.
    Could this be a reason you do not see the thumbnails?

  • Display thumbnails oldest 1st?

    Can thumbnails be displayed by date, oldest 1st in PSE 6? or PSE 7?
    I like this way of displaying thumbnails in my PSE 3 organizer, but I would like to upgrade, to get features available in the newer versions.
    I have Windows XP.
    Thanks in advance, Guy Moses

    You have several options with PSE 6 and 7 for ordering thumbnails:
    - Oldest first
    - Newest first by day, oldest first within day
    - Newest first by day, newest first within day
    - By filename/folder in Folder Location view
    - By album order when viewing an album (albums used to be called "collections")

  • Under Snow Leopard my web browsers no longer display thumbnails.

    Since installing Snow Leopard neither Safari not Firefox display thumbnails on certain web sites. The most notable being Google picture search. Everything works fine except the thumbnails are empty white rectangles. If I click on an empty thumbnail I will get taken to an image which displays fine. The problem is thumbnails and thumbnails only.
    I downloaded Googles own Chrome and even it can't display thumbnails on a Google picture search. The problem exists also on many other picture sites such as Getty images, but not, for example, on Wikemedia. It happens in all browsers - all of which are completely up to date as is my OS X 10.6.2. My video cards and monitors are all Standard Mac issue from Apple and the drivers supplied by Apple as part of the OS.
    In all this confusion the one thing that is absolutely 100% certain is that the problem started from the moment I first powered up Snow Leopard. Of that there is NO doubt. Before then there was never any problem. I am a graphics professional and constantly need to picture search. For the time being I have had to dust off my old G4 and use it as a picture search machine and then network the downloads across to the Mac Pro. That is hardly satisfactory.
    Has anyone any suggestions for this bizarre problem? I have done a mass of web search and have found no reference to anything similar.
    Getting rather desperate after months of this ...... :o((

    Well lepkitty I can report success. My browser is now thumb-nailing faster than ever before.
    Problem solved!! You get a gold star!!
    In case others with the same problem stumble on this thread here is the solution. I am no techie so It will be simple .......
    Problem:
    Safari, or any other OS X browser doesn't thumbnail Google (and many other) picture searches but hangs forever loading the thumbnails leaving empty white rectangles on the screen. Google maps don't zoom, pan or update. The problem is unique to Snow Leopard.
    Cause:
    When OS X and Safari (or other OS X browsers) perform certain operations, of which picture searching is one, they speed things up my making multiple simultaneous connections to the host. Rather than loading the thumbnail images one by one they will make multiple connections, to say Google image, and pull down multiple thumbnails simultaneously. Leopard makes up to eight simultaneous connections at a time. Snow Leopard, however, can make as many as sixteen.
    This where the trouble starts. Many router's firewalls interpret too many simultaneous requests as a "SYN flood" (This is a form of malicious attack using multiple simultaneous connections. If you really need to know - more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood) It seems quite a lot router's firewalls set the simultaneous connection threshold at 10. My Phillips did and Belkins do too. Any attempt to create more connections than this will be treated as malicious and will be blocked by the router.
    Solution:
    The solution is to change your router's firewall settings. Every router is different so these directions are rather generic. The precise menus, and wording will change from one to another but, trust me, I am no techie, it's really not difficult .... this isn't going to be rocket science ......
    Here is what you do:
    You access your router by entering "http://192.168.1.1" in your browsers address box. You will be asked for a user name and password. You should find the default setting for these in your router's manual. (On most it is "admin","admin")
    Once in your router's menu you need to look for firewall settings. You may need to look for "Advanced" settings first and then look for "Firewall".
    Once you have found the firewall menu you need to look for "SPI and Anti-DOS" (On my router it's inside a menu called "Intrusion Detection")
    On the SPI Anti-Dos page you should find a list of options that you can set.
    Among these should be the option to change the number of simultaneous connections. On my router it is called "Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host". It will probably be set to 10. Raise this to 20 and then click OK, Save, Confirm or whatever your router's menu asks for, to confirm and save the new setting.
    That's it! Done and dusted. This has not only fixed the problem on my browser but it has given a real and noticeable boost to all my browsing.
    So let's hope the earth moves for you too ..... ;o))
    ... and a huge vote of thanks to lepkitty for pointing me at this.
    If you want to know more about this in greater technical depth then follow the link provided by her earlier in this thread.

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • .NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

    .NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

    I have:
    PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
    BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
    The computer found  6 files  named Camera Raw.8bi.  They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has  >Program Files>.
    When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
    If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
    Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
    It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
    By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

  • Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

    Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
    I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
    Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
    And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
    I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

    Hey Jim
    Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
    Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
    I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
    For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

  • My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • IPhoto won't display thumbnails

    I performed a clean install of OS X, and when I copied over the pictures I had backed up iPhoto wouldn't display thumbnails. Old photos have no thumbnails at all, new photos will show thumbnails if I scroll around quickly, but return to blanks if I stop. If I edit a picture, the thumbnail will show until I quit iPhoto. I've tried rebuilding the library and thumbnails.
    I have have a MacBook Pro from late 2009, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424).

    How did you bring back the pictures after the clean install?  Did you use Migration Assistant in the restoring of your files?  If so know that MA has a history of not handling iPhoto library very well.  So if you did use MA see if you can do a manual copy of the backup library to the Pictures folder on your Mac.  Then launch iPhoto and go from there.
    If you didn't use MA then try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

    Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

    I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
    I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
    Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

      You need to keep the keys pressed for several seconds. Close down Elements. Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option. You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?Click on YesThen wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.  You should see something like this (example PSE9)  http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4880527-258346/320-111/Setting s-pop-upPSE9.png

  • Display Outlook meeting organizer instead of meeting subject (TMS-XE)

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble displaying the meeting organizer's name INSTEAD of the meeting subject line. Instead, the display is blank!
    We are in the midst of deploying TMS-XE so that we can have Outlook integration with booking meeting rooms and getting the green "Join Meeting" button on the touch pad. Due to existing IT privacy policy, we don't necessarily want to display the meeting subject on the touch pad. However, I would very much like to display the name of the meeting organizer so that people can have a chance of joining the right meeting. :)
    We have "DeleteSubject" set to true, and "AddOrganizerToSubject" also set to true. But I'm afraid that the Exchange behavior is to add the organizer name to the subject AND THEN delete the subject. Or perhaps the "DeleteSubject" setting actually prevents access to the subject field rather set it to a null value. (Or both!)
    Either way, I'd like to find a way to accomplish our goal without creating some kind of intermediary parser.
    Thanks any help anyone can offer!

    I have discovered a workaround to this painful issue.  In the email received from iCloud, click on the big "Accept" button (in the body of the email) and it will take you to a webpage where it shows that you accepted the specific invite.  From that iCloud webpage, you'll see you can download a .ics to add to your calendar.  Download that .ics and open it, and you can save that into your calendar by just pressing the save icon from the Quick Access toolbar (although the Organizer is still not correct...it still thinks it's me).  Strange that the .ics that is attached to the original email cannot be saved into your Outlook calendar, but the one you can download off the iCloud webpage after you accept can be.  It's a lot of clicking to get it into your Outlook calendar, but at least it somewhat works (albeit again without the proper Organizer listed)...

  • How do I get Windows8 to display thumbnails in Explorer

    Just changed from Windows XP to Win 8. In XP I could see picture thumbnails in Explorer where as in Win 8 I can only see the Application Icon. Help, going nuts..
    PS: in XP I was using Photoshop CS3 Now I'm using Lightroom 5.2

    There should be a Microsoft RAW Codec that you can install.  If you can’t find that or it doesn’t work for the images you want, then there is a pay-for codec that displays thumbnails of more image formats from:  http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
