Mod import No audio / No thumbnail preview.

When I connect my Panasonic HDD camcorder imovie does not preview all of my MOD files in my cam. It only displays thumbnails for some of the oldest clips that are in my cam. Also when I import one of the files that does not show a preview, that clip imports without audio. Thanks for any help....

Update - I have not solved the mystery: Audio files will preview in one project, but not in another. Project and composition settings appear to be identical. Audio is turned on in preview panel in both projects.
I have worked around it by importing the problem project into a separate project where audio preview is working as expected. NOW I can preview audio in the problem compositions....
But I'd still like to figure out the root cause of the problem. Your ideas would be much appreciated!

No thumbnail previews when importing video

I am attempting to import video I shot using a Sony HXR-NX70U. I have done this multiple times without issue, but today when I connected the camera via USB iPhoto would not display any thumbnail previews, instead only displaying dotted lines:
This isn't the worst problem in the world, but it is annoying as I have hundreds of individual video files on the camera from multiple shooting sessions and have no way to tell them apart. I suppose I could just import them all, but I would rather not go through that hassle.
Any idea what the problem is here?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails.

Thumbnails & Preview filenames do not match Master filename

Hi - can't find any threads regarding this...
Basic problem is that Aperture is not renaming the Preview & Thumbnail filenames when it renames images on import - anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have a managed Aperture Library (2.1.3). I rename my image files on import using the Import dialogue set to Custom Name & Counter and Apply to Master filename checked. However the Preview file, the Thumbnail file and the Finder folder holding the images do not get renamed.
Since the Media Browser uses the Preview files rather than the Master files when importing images into other apps (eg. Pages or uploading to a blog) the files used all have the wrong names.
For Instance:
I have a canon image file named IMG1234.JPG.
I import this file to Aperture and use the import dialogue to rename to Custom Name SUNSETNEVADA.JPG (with apply to Master Filename checked).
In Aperture what I see in my project is SUNSETNEVADA.JPG as the Version Name and the Master filename - as expected.
However the Thumbnail & Preview files are still called IMG1234.JPG - you can't see this directly from within Aperture you need to open Finder and drill down thru the Library package where you find that your Master file is called SUNSETNEVADA.JPG but it lives in a folder called IMG1234.JPG with a Thumbnail file called IMG1234.JPG and a Preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
I then open Pages and open the Media Browser.
I select Photos, and then my Aperture library, find my project and select SUNSETNEVADA.JPG.
The file that gets imported into Pages is the preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
The same happens in any situation where I use the Media Browser to browse the Apertuer library and import images, because the Media Browser always uses the Preview file.
The only work around I have is to export images directly from Aperture and then browse the Finder to import them to other apps - avoiding the Media Browser and Preview files altogether.
I have notified Apple Pro Support who claimed to be unaware of this error.
If you have seen the same problem please notify Apple Support.
Any thoughts or solutions welcome. Thanks

I am seeing the same thing, as I have lost all my masters and can only get my pics by copying preview files, which all have the old names.

How do I import stereo audio as pan centered, "Dual Mono?"

Greetings,
For most of my video recording, I’m running two wireless mics and am recording in stereo.
90% of the time, I’m working with one track or the other and, because I’m cutting for broadcast news, the pan for the audio needs to be centered.
Is there a way to import the audio I recorded in stereo as Dual Mono with the pan for each channel center?
It’s a pain to have to go through each clip and make it Dual Mono and then chose Pan Mod Default to center it.
I bring in my video as indiviaual clips so I can’t select a single clip in the Event Panel and make my changes for the whole project.
Regards,
Steve

Select the clips in the event, and set the audio as [Dual] Mono!
There is, as I remember, no option for this during import - but you can select multiple clips and set it on all at once.

Thumbnail Previews in Mac InDesign CS5

In Mac InDesign CS5, the thumbnail previews are no longer saved as a PICT resource. The previews seem to be embedded within the InDesign document.
I have an XCode Cocoa application that can preview CS2 - CS4 documents by importing the PICT resource as an NSPICTImageRep. Is there any way to extract the preview from a CS5 document programatically?
Thank you!

.. no longer saved as a PICT resource ..
Were they ever? InDesign documents are platform-independent, and Windows wouldn't want to use PICT resources. I don't think ID documents have ever had native thumbnails -- perhaps you had a Finder utility that did it for you.
In any case: in CS5, and, to a lesser extent, also in previous versions, JPEG previews are saved at the end of each document in an XML format. If you search the Scripting forum for "XML preview" (or something similar), you might find scripts that can extract them for you.

Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
Thanks

I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
I did a clean installation and this works
However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
Any help????

Thumbnail/ Preview Question

I have used Aperture since the start.... but i am getting a strange behaviour with thumbnails/previews.... imported raw files from a Canon 1DS MK2 in to a new project. Activity monitor shows the processing of the files (1,146) i am then getting previews that look faded.... until i turn off 'Quick Preview' and it will load the properly saturated preview. I have rebuilt the thumbnails and reprocessed a few times..... and when this has finished there are still a mixture of good previews and faded previews. Makes it very hard to edit properly.
I am using a referenced project with the images stored on an external FW800 drive.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Maybe it isn't the smartest way, but this should work: ... call info.Parse (host, stream) etc here - the usual stuff { // find biggest jpeg image for preview unsigned int subMaxW=0; int subMaxI=-1; for(unsigned int i=0;i<info.fIFDCount;i++) { dng_ifd* pIFD=info.fIFD[i].Get(); if (ccJPEG==pIFD->fCompression && 1==pIFD->fNewSubFileType) { if (pIFD->fImageWidth>subMaxW) { subMaxW=pIFD->fImageWidth; subMaxI=i; } } } if (subMaxI>=0) // load desired jpeg preview { unsigned int i=subMaxI; dng_ifd* pIFD=info.fIFD[i].Get(); if (ccJPEG==pIFD->fCompression && 1==pIFD->fNewSubFileType) { // seek to pIFD->fTileOffset[0] and load jpeg } } }

Thumbnail preview generation

Maybe it's just me but everytime after starting up Premiere Pro and looking at my h264 clips in the project Premiere Pro always takes time to generate the thumbnail previews. I don't mean in the timeline but in the windows of where clips viewed in the project. Once they are visable/generated you can close and open the window and they appear instantly.
However if I close Premiere Pro down and restart and open the same project and then open up the already imported files in the project and view as thumbnails it then goes and takes time again to generte them all over again.
Maybe I've missed an option some where to store or cache these previews, would love to, atleast to save a little time.
Any input would be great.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your reply. Do you know if there is somewhere this can be logged as a feature request?
It does seem styrange as other NLE's I have used in the past, always retain thumbnail previews between the restarts of the NLE application.

Lightroom thumbnail previews

Just imported a folder with 32 DNGs, and the generation of thumbnail previews stalled after creating three images; would appreciate help on getting the remainder of the folder's images to appear. Thanks!

Re: Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews
LR 3.3 and PS 4 ext. The original was a camera phone jpeg.
No, I have only VERY rarely had this happen. I don't use this workflow. I was trouble shooting an issue for someone that is having a problem. I was quite surprised to see it happen. The computer is an i7 running Vista 64.
Your fix would require ALL previews to be rebuilt. I have a catalog of over 80,000 images. I don't see that as a reasonable fix. If it was a problem, I'd rather try deleting image from catalog and then sync the folder again and see if that fixed it. No need to trash a bunch of good previews for one bad apple. : ) especially since it's just a test jpeg image. I suspect a read/write time with image size and such playing a role.

Premiere 7.2.2 not importing all audio channels of mpeg-ts

I'm trying to work on an MPEG-TS, but Premiere is only importing the audio related to the first PID. There are 6 PIDs in this file, each with two channels of audio, for 12 channels total. But Premiere only sees the first two. If I open the file up in Telestream Switch I see all 12 channels. MediaInfo output is below, any thoughts? Is this a bug in Premiere? An import setting I've missed?

Not certain about HDV but using DV it used to work something like this ...
- Log the clip then do your capture of the video and Ch 1+2
- In the Log and Capture window select the Clip Settings Tab
Set Capture to AUDIO ONLY and the AUDIO FORMAT to Ch 3 + Ch 4
- Right clic on the clip in the Browser and Select 'Batch Capture'.
- in the Batch Capture dialog box, uncheck 'Use Logged Clip Settings'
click ok and away you go.
in the fwiw catagory, on some cameras, in order to hold 4 channels of audio it will be recorded in 32k/12bit format. It will not be happy in FCP. You may want to up rez it to 48k/16bit in Quicktime before using it. But you probably knew that.
good luck.

About thumbnail preview

Before the update to AR DC was very confortable to select the file just I need, nut now with Adobe Reader DC is impossible because the file show icon in order thumbnail. Looking for this problem I finded that thumbnail feature was removed for technical affairs. Then, Does Adobe research go as the crab? I may not believe an important item may dissapear. Is the solution back again to Adobe XI?, then Where do I download this?

Hi juanm39288900,
I am sorry for the trouble caused to you, however the thumbnail preview functionality from Acrobat and Reader DC has been removed for technical reasons.
We know there are users who value it but certain design considerations forced us to make this change. However you could preview the file in the right preview pane in the explorer window.
This has been reported by other users as well. I will give your feedback to the concerned team and hopefully they would do something about it.
If you still really wish to uninstall Acrobat DC and go back to Acrobat Pro XI, then you might need to refer the KB doc link mentioned here: Acrobat DC uninstalled Acrobat XI | How to get Acrobat XI back
In case if you still have any query or experience any issue please let us know. We will be happy to help you.
Regards,

Thumbnail preview problem

.I have a problem with my PDF files. At first, the PDF files have their corresponding THUMBNAIL PREVIEWS. But there was a time, after I boot up my PC, the PDF files dont recognize anymore their reader, so when i manually set the adobe reader into default, the pdf files have no more capability of showing into thumbnail preview. I hope u can help me. i am using windows 7 32bit thanks a lot

Hi jackstick,
Try a library rebuild;
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.
iPhoto 4 or later: Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

THUMBNAIL PREVIEWS

I THINK THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FINDER OR QUICKLOOK.
I CANNOT SEE PREVIEWS (THUMBNAILS ICONS) OF FILES OTHER THAN MY DESKTOP.
WHEN I CREATE A FOLDER TO PUT THE THUMBNAIL IN THEN THE PREVIEW RETURNS BACK TO ITS GENERIC LOOK
(I.E. Illustrator files look orange whereas before i moved to the folder I could see their thumbnail preview - what the file looked lik without having to open it)
i recently started using a great plug in called SNEAKPEEK PRO where it lets me preview the file in quick mode and giving me all sorts of other info
The problem though is the small thumbnail previews
ANY WORDS OF ADVICE??????
Thank you so much
Andreas

Hi Kapil,
Have you checked that layout service repository is enalble in the repository ?

Thumbnail Previews keep re-resolving

Hi,
When I'm in the Library module, each time I page down (or up), I have to wait a second or two for the thumbnails to resolve. How do I get all the thumbnail previews to resolve and stay that way so I can page through them quickly?
Thanks,
AJ

This is exactly the problem. How can this be "by design"? There's an option to render all Preview images at 1:1 during import. Why doesn't this render all the Thumbnails too?
The previews and thumbs are rendered, but the thumbnails are initially shown fuzzy to denote that Lr is working in the background to check that they're still fresh (i.e. up to date). You'll likely see 3 white dots on top right corner of thumbs at the same time which denotes that Lr checking that the metadata is up to date. These can take a little while to disappear. Usually, the fuzzy thumb is only present when you scroll the thumbs into the content window for the first time after starting Lr.
It's incredibly annoying to have to pause on each page of preview images while they resolve when trying to browse through hundreds of images quickly.
Yes it's annoying and yes folk have complained about it before, but neither changes the fact that what you are seeing is by design. Whether it continues to be is another matter.

No audio in Ram Preview

Hi. I'll try and be a short and detailed as I can. After Effects CS5.5. Import an audio track or video containing audio and I cannot hear audio during playback after Ram Preview is created. I can hold the control key and scrub audio. Audio renders when I render the project. I can do an Audio Preview only, but I cannot seem to figure out how to see the graphics (which are animated to the audio itself) and hear the audio play back at the same time. This creates a unique problem when creating graphics which are timed to the audio. Do I really need to render the entire project every time I want to preview my work?
Thanks...

Well let me try to give you the big picture (pun intended)
What you can't see here: I use a Bose 2.1 speaker system (not that that has any impact).
Audio renders fine, scrubs fine, I can do an audio preview fine but NEVER both an audio and video preview.

Mod import No audio / No thumbnail preview.
