Image for Thumbnail

Hi again,
I have a lot of video files like TV shows, and I was wondering how I could add an image for the series so that when I have the files in icon view (tiles) I see the image I have assigned and not a preview of the video.
Thanks,

Hi Linc1100,
If you are interested in changing the icon for your video files, you may find the following article helpful (to the best of my knowledge, it should only show a preview as the icon if there is not already a designated custom icon):

  • Thumbnail images for MP4 files vanished again - how can they be restored?

    My thumbnail images for MP4 files have vanished again and could you tell me how to resttore them please? I am running Windows 8.1 and IE11 Browser and use the Real Player to play these files. When I run a flash test it says one minute it is not installed in the browser and the next test confirms that it is installed. Is this a known problem with Windows and can it be fixed by adjusting a setting somewhere. Thanks for your help.

  • Missing thumbnail images for AVCHD files

    I never had this problem before.
    In the past I would import AVCHD (*.mt2s) video files to the oganizer using Premiere Elements 7.
    Then I would open Photoshop Elements 7 and the video files I just imported in Premiere Elements 7 would display their thumbnails just fine.
    NOW, these thumbnails do not display.
    AVCHD files that I had previously imported still display their thumbnail, but any NEW AVCHD files do not display their thumbnail images; it just displays a default video thubmbnail graphic.
    Furthermore, if I select "Update thumbnail" from the context menu of a previously imported AVCHD file with a thumbnail, then the thumbnail image goes away and siaplays the default graphic.
    (PLEASE NOTE: when I click the default thumbnail image, it opens the video previewer successfully. So the answer is not that the video file is missing and therefore needs to be reconnected to regenerate the thumbnail image. So else is wrong here.)
    How can I get the thumbnail feature to work properly? It works fine in Premiere Elements; the thumbnails images for both new and old imported files display just fine in that program, which is what I used to be able to see in Photoshop Elements. Why is PSE7 not displaying these video thumbnail images?

    I have solved this issue myself a month or two ago and forgot to report my findings.
    I alspo have a Canon HD camcorder so this was a major issue for me.
    The way to resolve this issue (at least in my case) was to download a  codec pack like k-lite. Do a google search for the codec pack or follow this link:
    http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
    When I installed the codec pack, I think I had to make sure M2TS files were selected within the installation wizard so just be aware of that.
    Another way to resolve this issue is to upgrade to Windows 7. After I upgraded to Windows 7, I did not have to re-install the codec. I think Windows 7 has native support for AVCHD files.
    I hope this helps. If it does, please report here if you encounter anything of note worthy since the details of this process are no longer fresh on my mind.

  • Alternate thumbnail images for PDF

    Is there a way to export an InDesign file as a PDF and have an alternate PDF thumbnail image (one that's not the first page of the document or the standard Adobe logo)? For example, I want to use a company logo as the PDF thumbnail image for all collateral exported out of InDesign, but it wouldn't necessarily be part of the document. Thanks!

  • How do you show thumbnail images for the contacts?

    How do you show thumbnail images for the contacts on the iPod?
    -Thank You

    In another thread I posted a suggestion to try when the iPhoto app in the Application folder will not work:
    after upgrading the OS, iPhotos (and Aperture for that matter) should still be in the Applications folder...
    And running well in 10.10.3.
    If it stops running in a next "update" do not throw it away: most apps will continue running as follows:
    In the Applications folder "rightclick" (CTL+click) the iPhoto app, then "show package contents", then click the MacOs folder open: you see the real app (dark grey), rightclick this and choose "make alias", an alias is made, move this alias to the Applications folder and use it to run iPhoto.
    Same for Aperture.
    In older OS this survived several upgrades....

  • Export small size images (for may web galleries thumbnails)

    Hi,
    when I export versions whith the preset I create (jpg 100 pixels) the lower size file created is 50KB!!!??? also with "0" JPG quality (max compression) and a very small quality (not usefull for me). If I try whith the same images version exported to "Aperture web gallery", the thumbnails are exported in 4-8 Kb size for 100x62 pixels and a good quality!!!
    But I have my ASP pages and DB on the web and every week I have to publish 3-4 new galleries and 2-3 slide show. All is presetted, and I only have to export thumbnails and large images and upload them via FTP on my web server.
    I bought Aperture in order to be able at the end of my workflow, to export in a folder and directly upload my images and thumbnails without using another application like now! Any experience?
    (Master files are Canon .CR2 and export is setted at 72 DPI, 100 x 100 pixel, without adjustement, only file are renamed vith a 3 digit counter.)
    I also whould like to know what is the requested knowledge to realize a plug-in with Aperture SDK?
    Many thanks.(sorry for my english language)

    Hi,
    after posted my first question, I have noticed that a very strange things occurs to the aperture exported jpg files. I'm veryy new with MAC and i'm working on both MAC and WIN systems; when I copy from Mac to Win the folder where file were exported from Aperture, I see a double serie of file: the first one is the regular namefile.jpg and a second kind of file named "._namefile" (012.jpg and ._012).
    The first can be used and distribute also in win systems, and is very smaller in size than the orginal created by Aperture; the second is always around a size of 50-60 Kb and is not know by win systems. The sum of the two files seem to be the size of the original MAC/Aperture created file!?
    So, in win sys, a 150x100 pixel file is about 6-8 Kb (exactly what I'm expecting from it), and on Mac the same file is 60 Kb!!?? A MAC file of 480 x 320 pix at medium quality is about 140 Kb, but it is 80-90 Kb when copied on a win system (the correspondant ._nomefile is always around 50-60 >Kb size.
    You know why and how can I obtain optimized files for web from Aperture?
    Many thanks.

  • Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

    Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

  • Troubleshoot Main Image for spry photo gallery

    Hello, I am modifying some spry files to see if I can get the
    hang of it using my images. I have taken the photo gallery files
    gallery.js
    SpryData.js
    SpryEffects.js
    xpath.js
    The folder structure contains images and thumbnails on the
    root folder as well as the ap.css sheet and photos.xml
    The page is
    http://www.proximita.com/learning/index.html.
    Since I only have 1 photo gallery (and I did the getting
    started tutorial and worked fine I wanted to add the slideshow
    effect in the spry demo functionality) I only have one xml doc and,
    as mentioned, the both image folders and the css sheet are on the
    root, and the all the js files are in an includes folder.
    The thumbnails show up fine, but, the main image does not
    show up at all. I am almost sure this is a bad reference somewhere
    or a begginners mistake but I cant find it.
    I did modify the gallery.js because it referenced 2 or three
    variables (like dsPhotos and dsGalleries that are used for the demo
    I only have dsGallery) and I cahnged all of the other refrences to
    dsGallery.
    I think I am having problems here:
    function ShowCurrentImage()
    var curRow = dsPhotos.getCurrentRow();
    SetMainImage("galleries/" +
    dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
    curRow["@width"], curRow["@height"], "tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
    you can check out the whole code here:
    http://proximita.com/learning/includes/gallery.js
    Im unconcerned with appearance for the moment, and would just
    like to see the main image and the slideshow functionality.
    If you can help, please do. Thanks, Mario.

    yes, I suspect that is because the tutorial talks about
    building this from scratch and uses that name for the "thumbnails"
    div rather than what they actually use in the demo files...
    confusing, to say the least.
    It would be nice if there were a simple document with demo
    files that didn't include other stuff unrelated to JUST the slide
    show (gallery)... and if the whole layout were more simple,
    css-layout-wise...
    or, if the demo files were commented with what each bit is
    for and how to modify it.

    You need to open gallery.js and change the observer to point
    to the new container:
    Change
    Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("thumbnails", function(nType,

  • Generating full-size image from thumbnail using BLOB DB images

    Hi all,
    Assuming that all necessary steps were taken in other posts and tutorials to display images on a web page from BLOB objects stored in an Oracle 10g DB, how is it possible to set the size of the created images (from the servlet that creates the image file from BLOB) so that it is smaller than the actual image in the DB. the user would then have to click the image to open the full image.
    would this be done by possibly creating 2 servlets, one that displays a smaller version, and one that displays the actual image?
    i don't see how this can be done since the url property of each image is bound to the url of the servlet. If the thumbnail has a url pointing to image produced by thumbnail servlet, would i assign an action handler for clicking the image that redirects to a url given by the full size image servlet? or should i use an image hyperlink instead?
    any help is always appreciated!

    Suggest you take this one step at a time.
    1. Create a database and store your images in it. (Or write the upload mechanism if you need it).
    2. Display your full size images.
    3. Display your full size images as thumbnail size. (Performance will not be good but you'll have results.) Creator allows you to set image size independantly of the size of the underlying image.
    4. Modify the servlet you wrote in step three to optionally reduce the resolution (or quality) based on an input parameter.

  • Changing Displayed Still Images for Podcasts

    I just got iWeb up and running today. Everything is working great, except I can't figure out how to change the default thumbnail images that are assigned when I add new video files to my Podcast page.
    Several of my video files start with a black frame and fade in, which is causing iWeb to display a black image for the Podcast on the Entries page. Is there an easy way to change this image without re-editing my videos?
    I've searched the help menus and the discussion posts here. I was hoping that changing the associated artwork in GarageBand would fix this. I figured out how to add an image and resize it, but when I brought my video file in, the image I had edited added just disappeared and was replaced by a marker symbol.
    I know the quick fix in DVD Studio Pro: open the inspector for the button, uncheck "motion", and set the little timeline to the frame you wish to use. Please help!
    My other idea is to try to configure a links page for the videos myself, so that I can control the image used and just add a hyperlink. Suggestions?

    I had the same problem and looked all over as well. I
    ended up reopening my video clips in Final Cut..
    adding one frame at the start of my still frame and
    then rerendered it out to iweb. it works.. shows up
    in the itunes store as well.
    I can try that, but that ruins the fade in from black effect. I'm hoping there is an easier way. If not, maybe future versions...

  • Load, create, and save image as thumbnail

  • Workflow improvements for thumbnails, files, archives, etc

    I hope this does not duplicate previous requestes - I am a relatively new user of bridge. Maybe the features I wish are part of bridge but I cannot find them :-( These requests are useful to improve the work flow immediately after a process a large number of images (maybe a few thousand) from an event such as a wedding, speed skating competition, dance production, or car race. The objective is to rapidly allow the selection of images that are to be grouped for edit/delete/copy by examining thumbnails and slide shows.
    1. Thumbnails are too small on a 1280x1024 or larger screen. It is difficult to compare adjacent images. It would be nice to allow the user to specify thumbnail size. The thumb data base should match the chosen size. However, it would be adequate if only new images added to the data base have the new size. It is difficult to use the Preview window for judging when images are separated.
    2. Rename of files should allow the use of the EXIF date/time created. Time is important if multiple cameras are used in a photoshoot and it is desired to put all images in time sequence. The present rename only considers a file attribute of year/mo/day and forgets about the EXIF date/time shot.
    3. A simple "select" or "tag" of images (such as the CTL/S key) would be useful that does not update information as does Labels and Ratings. Typically, this would be used for selecting files that are to be deleted, copied, etc. Teamed with the larger thumbnails and the slide show, this would be a very convenient tool for selecting images for editing / processing purposes. Yes, you can CTL/CLICK to do this in windows, but that is inadequate (see point 5 below).
    4. If the slide show is used and then exited with the ESC key, the thumbnail directory list should be positioned to and highlight the last viewed item. This highlight should be different than "select" - it is a position reference only. For example, I could be selecting images by viewing thumbnails but use the slide show (see 5 below) to view/select a series of images. The logical place to show where you "are" is in the thumbnail view.
    5. Any Labels, Ratings, or "select" (as in point 3 above) should be settable from the current image viewed on the slide show. The slide show is nothing more than a "giant thumb view".
    6. The thumbnail data base, if saved in a mounted directory, should be accessable and viewable in read-only mode even if the actual disk drive containing the images is not on-line. For example, it would be nice to view all thumbnails from my four archive hard drives even though they are normally turned off.
    It would be even nicer if BRIDGE could sense the fact that the drive has been turned on and then allow full image access. A super smart feature would be a prompt that tells which drive label (maybe even a CD label) should be mounted. If this were done, I could receive a print order for image TF123456, look through the always-available thumbnails, click on the desired image for CS2 editing and have it tell me "please mount disk with label 0246-20040315". After I turn on the hard drive or mount the CD, CS2 magic would continue.

    >2. Rename of files should allow the use of the EXIF date/time created.
    I think you'll find that this exactly what you do get when Date Created is chosen. In Bridge Date Created refers to the time the image was captured, which is the same as Exif date/time created.
    You can find a downloadable listing of Bridge and Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts at
    Jeff Schewe, "++ Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw Shortcuts ++" #4, 28 Apr 2005 11:10 pm
    These should help you with Slideshow and many other features that you can't find via the menus or the interface itself.

  • Pre-loading external images for XML-based gallery

    I'm working-on an XML-based photo gallery here:
    http://www.unionandparkwood.com/demo/flash_gallery/
    It works how I want it, except that the first time a
    thumbnail is clicked for an image, it pauses long enough to skip
    the fade. If you click-through the images a second time, you'll see
    that it works smoothly. My guess is that the first time the
    thumbnail is clicked, the image isn't cached, yet.
    I tried to fix this by creating a JavaScript file for the
    page to pre-load each image and thumbnail:
    0003a = new Image;
    0003a.src = "images/Down-Range.jpg";
    0003b = new Image;
    0003b.src = "thumbnails/Down-Range.jpg";
    But that didn't work. What would be the best way to do this?
    I included a link to "Download ZIP" of the FLA project on
    this page, too, because it wouldn't be easy for me to describe
    what's happening. In a nutshell, a thumbnail click launches a
    function that loads the appropriate image into the main image
    holder. What seems to be happening the first time is the image
    isn't loaded before the fade is finished, so the image just appears
    after a short pause the first time.

    >>What seems to be happening the first time is the
    image isn't loaded before
    >>the fade is finished, so the image just appears after
    a short pause the
    >>first time.
    As has been said many times in thos forum - use the
    MovieClipLoader class to
    load images, and then use that class' onLoadInit method to do
    things with
    the loaded image. Loading is asynchronous - you _have_ to
    wait until the
    image is done loading before doing a fade.

  • RAW JPEG PROBLEM  I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
    Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture.  What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?
