Elements Organizer 12 doesn't generate thumbnails for .mpg videos produced by Premiere Elements

I just upgraded from Elements+Premiere 11 to version 12, on Windows 8.1 x64.
I produced a 1st .mpg file (HDTV 1080p 25 img/s), and imported it in Elements Organizer.
Unfortunately, the Organizer doesn't generate any thumbnail for the file.
This is a new "behavior" of the Organizer 12, because the Organizer 11 use to generate thumbnails properly.
I tried to manually update the thumbnail (right click), but after waiting several seconds, there is still no thumbnail appearing.

Here are the results from my test of your situation where you tried to import 3 Premiere Elements 12 created files into the Elements Organizer 12 after their creation and save to the hard drive.
The 3 files from Premiere Elements 12 were
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 1080p25 High Quality
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 720p25 High Quality
Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HD 720p25
The same scheme was used for each, and the results were the same for each...
Imported into Elements Organizer 12, File Menu/Photos and Videos/Files and Folders.
In the Elements Organizer 12, each imported with a thumbnail displaying only a filmstrip icon.
Next I double click the thumbnail and got playback of the video in the Elements Organizer 12 without issue.
Next I right clicked the thumbnail and selected Update Thumbnail. It did within a few seconds. The thumbnail then displayed the first frame of the video.
I ran this test on a laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. Installed on this computer along with Premiere Elements 12...QuickTime latest version, iTunes latest version, a PowerDVD player. Windows Media Player 12 appeared to be there but not yet activated. No VLC player or other.
For the moment I am assuming that codec were essentially from QuickTime and from what Premiere Elements 12 brought along.
More later.

  • Imovie is not generating thumbnails for MPG video files

    Hi everyone,
    I have what I hope is a quick question with an easy solution.  I'm using iMovie '09 8.0.6 to make a movie for my parents of their granddaughter.  Imovie has generated thumbnails for all my video in iPhoto (most of which is .mov format), but two short clips (about a minute in length each) were apparently taken with a different camera and are in .mpg format.  For some reason, imovie is not generating thumbnails for these .mpg videos, though in the past I have never experienced a problem here.  What is wrong? What can I do to get these clips into iMovie or have iMovie generate these thumbnails?
    Thanks.

    No, the orientation is not the issue, The first set of 4 imported videos were from a GoPro 3 camera, and the one that was lost doing an "update thumbnail" operation was also a GoPro3 fie.
    Just now I did another experiment, I chose to update thumbnail from a video file created with my Pentax WG-3 and it worked.
    I updated thumbnail on a horizontal and verticle video from my Galaxy S3, and now those are also gone with no thumbnail...
    So far the only one that actually works for me is the Pentax video, which is a MOV file. , the GoPro 3 and Galaxy are mp4 files, so it's possible that the mp4 format has something to do with it. This is very frustrating losing my thumbnails like this.... Luckily I have not deleted ver11 yet.
    I hope they repair this issue soon.
    Thanks for the help so far,

  • Imovie freeze on generating thumbnail for iphoto videos

    When I open imovie, there is a message that says "do you want to generate iphoto video thumbmails?" now or later.  As I have iphoto videos missing in imovie, i press on now.  It then says that a certain movie is missing and then freezes and I cannot quit imovie.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend trying the troubleshooting steps described in the article below.

  • Elements 13 Generating Thumbnails for 3 Days?

    I have Elements 13 now installed and it has been generating thumbnails for 3 days.  I have about 12,500 photos including both RAW and JPG types.
    This is on an overclocked system running at 4.5 GHz with 16 GB of memory.  After the 3 days of run time, I just clicked on a different folder in the explorer pane of Elements and the program crashed.
    This is turning in to a problematic upgrade.
    Is this normal?

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the application and it appeared to resolve the issue.
    Thank you for checking in...

  • TS3391 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.

    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.

  • Imovie keeps getting hung up generating thumbnails for new events.  How do I fix this?

    I imported several movies from my miniDV camera without issue.  Yesterday I tried to import another movie, only about 30 minutes long to a new event, and the "generating thumbnails for new event" has taken 12 hours and is still not complete.  I tried to force quit and reopen the program it just starts the process again upon opening.  I went online and downloaded and installed the imovie updates.... still no luck. I can't even use imovie now because when I open it it just goes back to generating thumbnails.  Any thoughts?  Im new to the Mac, and I just bought this computer 3 days ago and want to love it, but this is frustrating.

    What version of iMovie 2011.  Make sure you have installed all updates.  There has been several updates addressing stability issues.  If you have a newer system there were compatibility issues.  Hopefully this will fix your issues.  I have a new 2012 MBP 13 and works fine.  It did lockup (pinwheel) 2x and has been fine.
    After the updates running Disk Utility and repair permissions as well.  Make sure things are correctly referenced.
    Good luck

    Is there a way to create a thumbnail for QuickTime videos on a PC?  (Windows XP)  All the the videos currently have the same QuickTime logo as their thumbnail.

    Abdur,
    In the sheet :: table :: cell that is going to receive the data, type an equals sign, then click on the cell that the data will come from and press Return.
    This will require that you navigate to the origin cell by choosing the proper sheet.

  • How do I change the thumbnail for a video file?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?

    Can I change the thumbnail for a video file (ex. .mov) in Bridge CS4?
    Not to my knowledge. It seems it takes a snapshot from about the 10th second of the movie and creates a thumbnail for it. On a Mac the finder thumbnail shows the first frame of a movie, both don't seem to be able in getting customized.
    It will be down to a good naming convention I'm afraid. Not having CS4 installed anymore but on Bridge CS6 .mov files play on an reasonable sized scale in good quality in the preview window, maybe that will help you?

  • Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements..(2)

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem as described here but the solution proposed here didn't work:
    Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....
    I'm still getting the message "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project.".
    I uninstalled, reboot, installed, reboot a few times and it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?  I'm using Premiere Elements 9 and Windows 7, 64 bits.  It was working before.  It started after I had to reformat my harddrive and reinstall everything.
    Thanks,

    ...By the way, when you did that and deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs deletion did not resolve the problem, did you then delete the whole folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
    [YH] Yes I did but it didn't work.
    1. When you did the uninstall/reinstall, did you include a ccleaner run through between the uninstall and the reinstall? Good idea to do that to remove any leftovers from incomplete uninstall reinstalls.
    [YH] Done but didn't work. I just ran the CCleaner free version.  I'm not sure if it's enough.
    2. Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed.
    [YH] Done but didn't work.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer
    [YH] I didn't have QuickTime installed.  It is now but didn't do any difference.  I uninstalled Adobe Premiere Elements, ran CCleaner, reboot, installed APE, reboot... still doesn't work.
    3. Are you running your computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as Run As Administrator (from right click of program desktop icon and selection of Run As Administrator?
    [YH] Yes
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    [YH] I'm assuming yes because it was working before.
    5. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus program disabled?
    [YH] I haven't tried yet but see item number 6 below.
    6. Go to Computer/Manage/Services and Applications/Services and assure that FLEXnet Licensing Service is started.
    [YH] I don't see any FLEXnet.  I don't remember installing this on any computer.  I googled it but I'm not sure I understand what and from where to install it.  I checked at work on another computer running Adobe Premiere Elements and FLEXnet is running on that computer. So this might be the source of the problem.
    7. The following is a version 12 remedy, let us see if this will work for 9.0/9.0.1
    As described in the link below, rename the SLCache Folder and the SLStore Folder.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Why wont Photoshop elements 12 save to DVD in MPEG2 format when I have Premiere Elements 12 package loaded onto pc also?

    I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 12 package at Best Buy.  I created a slideshow within the Photoshop Elements Package.  When finished, I tried to save it using the instructions noted within the Help section of the Photoshop Elements 12 application.  The slideshow was saved outside of Adobe Premiere Elements. When I tried to playback the DVD to which the slideshow was burned, it wouldn't play in my regular DVD player or a Blue Ray DVD Player.  There is no instruction to import the slideshow into Premiere Elements prior to saving it to a DVD.  The WMV format that Adobe uses will not allow the DVD to play anywhere other than my PC, or another P.C.  The help section of the application states that the the file would automatically be converted into a MPEG2 format using the Photoshop application.  Please explain what I'm missing!!!  Desperate for help, as I have a family reunion this weekend,  The DVD  has 450 photos on it and the DVD was part of a gift package for the family.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • How can I raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12?

    I want to raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12. Can anyone help?

    jcomput
    Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
    generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
    If you are in the Expert workspace...
    a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
    or
    b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
    0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.

    Mac or Windows or Premiere Elements 11 is not the question....
    There are several software targeting video downloads from YouTube, I am told. BUT, last that I heard, none are considered legal for want of a better term. Last time I looked at this issue, the consensus was that the YouTube Agreement did not allow for this activity.
    The following online article goes into fuller details on the matter.

    Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
    Here is a copy for your convenience
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
    Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
