Missing thumbnail image in PSE 12 for videos

Hi I recently downloaded PSE12 to my new computor with Windows 8.1 64 bitt.
Ihave just downloaded all my photos and videos from my Iphone 4S but the thumbnail for the videos shows as blank in the organiser with no image yet when you click on it , it plays video and sound this is being done with the current version of Quicktime.
When the original videos were transferred to the computor from the phone and the picture folder the thumbnail contained an image and it was only when transferred to PSE that there was no film clip on the thumbnail .
Can anyone help as to how to have a video clip in the thumbnail as I have 50 videos of the grandkids and is impossible to ascertain what each thumbnail represents .
Many thanks for your help as this is new to myself.

It’s possible that your application window is larger than your monitor/display as there is no switch for hiding the bottom menu/options bar.
Try changing your screen resolution or perhaps minimizing the window and dragging a top or bottom corner to re-size.

Thumbnail images will not appear for downloaded videos!

Until about a month and a half ago, whenever I downloaded a video to my computer, a thumbnail image always appeared on the video menu. But now, all that appears is the logo for the media player I have installed.
From the web pages I have read, it seems that the installation of the one of the recent versions of Adobe Flash Player has caused this problem, but I don't know this for sure.
I have tried to uninstall and then reinstall both AFP and the media player several times already, but the problem still exists.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? All answers appreciated. Thank you.

You *might* want to try one of the solutions listed here:

I'd recommend googling a bit for "enable flv thumbnail windows explorer" to see what you can find.
Thanks,

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.

Thumbnail images corrupt after saving for web

I am working with CS2.
Whenever I choose "Save For Web," the thumbnail preview on the desktop doesn't show the full image. Half of it is grey. This only happens when I choose save for web. Sometimes if I single-click the thumbnail, the entire image appears. But most of the time, it stays half grey. I'd appreciate any help on this, since it's been going on for a year now, and re-installing didn't help.

Save For Web generates an icon of the image on both my home Mac and work Mac. I've changed the preferences in PS to "Never Save" Image Previews. That has done nothing. So maybe it is an OS glitch, but I can't find anything to change. And again, this only happens when I choose Save for Web.

Updating missing thumbnails in the PSE Organizer not working?

I am using PSE12 as a test intallation. After editing photos (JPEG or RAW) with the PSE-Editor, those thumbnails are not visible anymore. Also there are 2 out of about twenty folders that do not show thumbnails at all.
Updating the thumbnails doesn't help, also repairing the catalogue doesn't make a change. Renaming the thumb.5.cache makes things worse. After hours of updating thumbnails, no thumbnails are displayed at all.
Thanks for your help.

Try highlighting a batch of the thumbnails and from the menu click:
Edit >> Update Thumbnail for Selected Items

Missing thumbnail images

I run iPhoto 6 on OSX 10.4.10. For some time, part of the thumbnail view of my library has not been appearing. What I get is a dotted outline where the image should be. It's in one particular, earlier section of my library but not all the earlier section. I cannot detect any pattern to particular dates etc. I am using the same camera and I have not been poking about where I should not. I have tried rebuilding thumbnails but it had no effect. When I double click on a dotted outline the image appears in the main window but I need my thumbnails back. Anybody have any ideas about this?
Cheers from OZ

OK so if I understand the primary account can get to the library and the library is ok for this account? The problems are with the other accounts?
To make sure this still works I did the following:
Create an aperture library in /Users/Shared
Changed the permissions to Read/Write for everyone, logged in as other user was unable to access the library. Aperture complained that the library wasn't writeable. This is the correct behavior.
On the shared folder I opened the Info window and selected everyone and then with the clicked the gear at the bottom of the window and selected apply to enclosed items... Finder asked if I was sure I wanted to do this I clicked OK
Now when I logged in as the other user I was able to run Aperture on the library in the shared folder.
I never received any errors from Aperture. Both accounts have full access to the library. Not sure what might have happened in your case. I suggest you delete this library and try again.
regards

Thumbnail Images in FCS

Hi all,
I've been scratching my head (or more recently, beating it against my keyboard - fortunately they now make them in aluminium, good for the company's expenditure, bad for my head), trying to create some nice quality .jpg thumbnail stills through FCS. I just cannot seem to get them to come out the way I want them to, and I find the settings to be about as user-friendly as an alarm button, hidden behind bullet proof glass, with a sign saying "break glass to sound alarm".
*What I want to achieve:*
I need to create thumbnail images of about 50,000 video clips. These need to go on our website, and should be .jpgs sized at 200x113. Also, the source (dv clips) should be cropped a few pixels, to eliminate that nice fuzzy dv edge. These should then end up on our site via FTP (this last bit, I reckon I can do).
*How I've been failing to do it*
I think it's something to do with the parameters I'm using. Here's what I've been doing thus far in Administration>Transcode Settings>New preset>Parameters:
Source Pixel Aspect Ration: Pal 16x9
Source Offset: 3/2 (is this cropping?)
Source Image Size: -blank-
Destination Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square (HD)
Image Size: 200/113
Framce Size: -blank-
Offset: -blank-
Frame Number: 1
Rotate/Flip: -off-
The images that are produced are, well, quite nasty little things that are the wrong shape and sized and uncropped. I've looked in the documentation and can't seem to find what the above parameters mean.
Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated.
Ben

Crystal does not have the bility to use thunbnails. But that would be a great enhancement. I'll add it to the Enhancement request database.

IPhone displays same thumbnail image for all my videos

Okay so when I check out my videos on my iphone 3GS, regardless of what movie, TV show or music video... it shows the thumbnail of the Batman Dark Knight movie. All the other movies are listed and playcorrectly, but they all show the Batman movie image on the sort screen. I've done a hard reset and erased and put the movies back on the iPhone. This hasn't worked. Has anyone else had this issue? And if so, how did you fix it?

I had a similar problem, but not exactly the same. I downloaded all my photos and videos taken from my iPhone's camera to my PC, sorted them into folders and then synced them using iTunes. After the sync I checked the photos app and all the folder thumbnails were wrong as were the videos (the pictures were fine). I found a suggestion that a reboot might fix this, I rebooted my phone and after it came back up the folder thumbnails were correct, but all the video thumbnails were still wrong.
Anyone know how to fix this? Did you figure out how to fix your issue so I could try the fix on this?

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting?
I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
Thanks,
Mike

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
And, remember, at the onset I wrote
As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

Raw images do not show up in Bridge CS4 for PSE 8 for Mac

I just downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and my raw files no longer show as thumbnails. I can open them in Elements, but the image is blank in Bridge. These same images were fine in CS3 (PSE 6 for Mac). I have downloaded and installed the new Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Thank you!

You have to update bridge separately from PSE, and bridge ships with a pretty old version of ACR. Just go to Help>Updates in bridge and it will update itself for you.

Missing Thumbnail Fix, at least for me

I had an extremely frustrating issue with missing thumbnails (dotted blank boxes) with iPhoto 6 that migrated to iPhoto 8 with no relief. I tried all the thumbnail and library rebuilding, and permission repair issues to no avail.
In my case, the original images were fine - if I double clicked on an image, it would open fine in iPhoto - right-clicking to reveal the original in the Finder worked fine too. But for about 100 photos, no thumbnails.
I finally discovered that if I edited the image in some minor way, the thumbnail would rebuild. The easiest was to rotate the image (selecting multiple worked as well), and then undoing the rotation. I don't know what caused the issue to begin with, but this action fixed the issue in a way the built-in rebuilding option could not do.
Hope this helps.

Tom:
To help prevent loss like you experienced see the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Preview / Thumbnails for videos not showing

Hello Guys,
I was hoping someone can help me.
I usually import photos from my Canon 400d and iPhone 4 and 3GS and it's been working fine for a long time. A couple of weeks ago, it stopped showing the thumbnails for photos and videos.
My settings for import are to render previews with minimal size (and has always worked great like that). If I try to render standard sized thumbs after import, sometimes it works, and sometimes it hangs with some photos. I can quickly fix that going into "Develop" mode where it creates the preview correctly.
But for videos, because you can't go into develop mode, it just hangs trying to build the previews.
Note that all videos previous to 07-22-2011 show the thumb correctly.
Some more info on my system and the things I've tried.
My system is a Macbook Pro 2.66 i7 with 8Gb DDR3
Lightroom 3.4.1 - 64 bits
Cameras Canon 400d, iPhone 4 & 3GS
I'm running Lion OS X now but I can see in my catalogue that the blank thumbnails start appearing a week before I upgraded.
My catalog is not too big, around 3K photos
I tried getting rid discarding all the 1:1 previews and rebulding them again. I works OK for the photos but the rendering hangs when the get to the videos that have been imported after 07-22-2011.
I checked the video properties and they are all the same as old videos (nothing changed in my iphone) they are .mov files h264 with ACC audio (same as all the previous ones that show the thumbnail correctly)
I tried deleting the .lrdata preview file, and recreating all the previews in standard-size and nothing, then tried with 1:1 preview, but again it hangs when it gets to the videos
I created a new catalog and imported 2 new videos. getting the same result.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Geoff.
I used an app called app zapper to completely delete 3.4 and then installed 3.5 RC and the general speed seems to be a 'little' bit better.
But video seem to screw up everything. Previews are still not rendering for videos and as soon as I get into a mixed folder (videos & images) Lightroom starts to lag badly...

Video Thumbnail images gone - iPad 1st gen, iOS5

After updgrading my iPad 1st gen to iOS5, all of my video thumbnail images are gone.
The iPad just displays a white box with a gray flat screen TV icon for every video file listed under Movies or TV Shows
This is most troublesome when I touch the TV Shows button and I get a page full of those white boxes with the TV icon - and, as has always been the case, there is no name for the TV show. So I'm lost in the white boxes trying to find LOST the TV show.
Any thoughts on how I get my thumbnails back?

If they are in your iTunes library on your computer why don't you try syncing again. Make sure that all of the shows are selected to sync along with the sync Movies heading and then sync again.
If they are only on the iPad it might be a good idea to transfer the purchases into the iTunes library. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name and select Transfer Purchases.
If you have tried syncing, try restarting, resetting and quitting the videos app.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
To quit the videos app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

hello,
i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
thanks for your time,
max

The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.
