Putting description on video thumbnail while selecting

is it possible to make the video thumbnails to generate text description while selecting the thumbnails? I made a gif of the aspect that I want to do: http://i28.tinypic.com/2ymgfhv.gif
is it possible with encore? workaround on the button overlapping, autoactivate or scripting something?
thanks

Encore doesn't do scripting.
You can use autoactivate to go to a different menu that has the text for that button. Create multiple menus.
Mouseover won't autoactivate, so doesn't work on a computer the way you'd like.

ITunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos

Hi Support,
I have a problem while I sync my iPhone 4.If I select ‘include video’ option in ‘Sync Photos’ from folder iTunes crashes. It works absolutely fine if ‘include video’ option is not selected. The videos inside my sync folder are compactable with iPhone, since it was taken by iPhone.
Even Sync Photos with ‘include video’ was working fine until I upgraded my iTunes yesterday. Right now I can’t Sync the videos through this option. Please help
I recently updated my iTunes to version 10.4.0.80 and my iPhone is running iOS v 4.3.4 (8K2)
Thanks & Regards

Hi All,
I have exact same problem wiith an iPAD2, latest Itunes & iPAD OS. I removed all the previously syncing okay video content from my Pictures folder (I have mixed photos and video content in each sub folder) and it syncronises okay with "Include Videos" turned on and then even if I put just one video file now in any sub folder iTunes crashes as soon as it tries to optimise this video. I am running Windows 7 Professional and never had any problems prior to latest updatte so come on Apple, surely this is a serious problem evreyone must be having? I have imovie on my iPad and now all the video content it needs I cant get onto the iPAD2. I have tried installing an earlier version but it won't let me and there seems to be conflicting threads on how to do this without losing all my settings and libraries for contacts, email, >10,000 photo's and video's, apps etc.

Where on my Mini do i put the iPod 'video' i've taken?

Where on my Mini do i put the iPod 'video' i've taken?
I connect my iPod to my MacMini, and then what?
I tried importing or dragging it from my iPod to iMovie on my Mac, but it resisted, that din't work.
i don't think a video goes to my iPhoto on my Mac.
So where, how can i put it?
I'm just beginning to take video with the Camera on my iPod Touch. I didn't mean to, i thot i was just taking a picture, but there it is, a few seconds of video, so i thot i would learn to get it off my iPod and onto my computer somehow.
I will try your advice later, as i won't have much time today, but am anxious and will be grateful for your help.

Oh. O I C.
I'm guessing i just drag the video, while i've selected my connected iPod on my iPhoto screen, over to my iPhoto icon?
Or within my iPhoto screen i drag the video down to where, cuz i didn't see a place for it on iPhoto. Maybe it already transferred the video to iPhoto, and i can already delete it from my iPod.
Cuz that happened with some pictures i took on my iPod, which i dragged to iPhoto icon and was informed they were already there so i could delete pics from my iPod.
I'll try your advice later when i have time.
(i know i'm asking a lot of questions today, while i have time, and will try the answers later.)
thanks a whole lot, as always.

BUtton VIdeo Thumbnail Animation

Umm how can I have a button in Encore to do one of the most important ideal feature such as:
I want a button that links to a chapter in my main movie sequence. However, I want the button video thumbnail to show a preview of another sequence (another small clip) and not the same damn video that the button is linked too. I just want the video thumbnail to play a 5 sec other clip that I created instead of the the begining of the sequience encore chapter mark it is linked tooo. This should be pretty simple but I cant find the feature? I was under the impression that encore can do this???
If not, adobe fails major since a lot cheaper software out there can do more complex things.

For example, many people would want their ceremony button to start a few seconds before the ceremony starting (titles, blank screen, then ceremony), while the video thumbnail in the menu plays some clip for example, bride walking down the isle.
The bride walking down the aisle is part of the ceremony video being linked to, right? Well, not if your clips brought into Encore are all separate timelines. But if it is, there is no problem; Encore does that fine. Select chapter 1 of the ceremony timeline, set the poster frame to the "walk down aisle" - Encore creates the thumbnail video there.
I do not think that many people would want the thumbnail to be something that is not in the video they are going to watch.
But I agree that it would be nice to add other content into the thumbnail. You might want to submit a feature request. It should not be too hard to select an asset for the thumbnail. But AE or Premiere for such a background is pretty quick.
Remember that much of Encore is not Adobe (it was licensed from Sonic), and Encore is not available as a separate purchase; it is an extension of Premiere.

PNGs + Video Thumbnails = HUGE render times

Dear Users,
I've always used Tiffs before as my export option from Photoshop, but just learned recently that I should be using PNGs. However, now when I use those PNGs in a timeline with custom sized video thumbnails, the render times are LONG. I'm used to rendering cause I'm on a 1st generation 17" MBP, but I'm talking an hour to render a 24-second sequence. The timeline consists of 5 PNG layers and 5 240x180 (Multimedia Small 4:3) 29.97 videos using DV/DVCPRO - NTSC as the Compressor and quality set to 50%. When I drop one of the video files into a new timeline, FCP6 asks me if I want to conform the timeline to meet the clip settings, and I choose yes, but as soon as I put any of the PNGs over the video, I get the orange Unlimited render bar. Any ideas as far as what's causing the Long times beside me being on a laptop? I figure it's gotta be something I'm doing wrong, just like I wasn't using PNGs before. This is for a DVD's Scene selection menu, hence the small videos acting as previews of each scene.
Thank you all,
-Brian

Found the problem. The key was where I said "from Motion." The movie came in with Animation as the compressor type, so when I dropped it onto a new timeline, FCP asked me if I wanted to conform the sequence to match the clip, and when I chose OK, it changed the video rendering from YUV to RGB and the compressor from DV/DVCPRO to Animation. Now for the science of what I found and who I tested it all: PSD = 18 layers, 2.4MB TIF = "layered" Tif, 2.5MB PNG = 540KB
In a brand new timeline, the video and .psd were Unlimited and need rendering to play back smoothly. The tif and png were both fine to play back.
With the conformed timeline settings, the video then played fine, but the psd, tif, and png were all red "Needs Render."
Now as for the rendering itself, the video was a 7 second, 14 frame Animation clip. Still images were placed 3 seconds from the end of the video then rendered. PSD = 18 seconds, TIF = 5 seconds, PNG = 5 seconds to render.
• Both the TIF and PNG could be freely moved around, including over the whole video without requiring another render. The .psd would loose it's render when layered over the video.
In a second brand new NTSC timeline, video captured from DVCAM tape was fine, along with the tif and png again. The psd yet again had the orange render bar even when layered over nothing.
So there's my unscientific tests. I've hated working with the PSDs natively, and those numbers show why. I'll continue to use PNGs because they're both small file sized, nice quality, and fast rendering.
As for my original problem, it was the Animation compression that was causing the problems.
What do you all do for your Photoshop workflows?

Error while selecting entity

Hi
I keep getting the "JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for Units" error. Below is the query in my View Object.

Hi,
for those who have encountered the same problem as me, you should check that the table name sql query is of the form Name_Schema.Name_Table.
For this right click on the entity in the workspace> edit entity> Database Objects> Schema Objects and add the schema name before table name( Name_Schema.Name_Table).

Missing Video thumbnails in iphoto in iphoto 11

I have just discovered lots of missing movies in my iphoto library, I have re imported them from an iphoto backup, and if i search for the keyword movie they appear, but no thumbnails appear in the photo display. I have tried rebuilding the library but none of the imported videos show up. New videos imported from my camera show up fine.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I triple checked a handful of the video files and they aren't exhibiting black at the start.
How I checked:
- Select black video thumbnail image
- Press space bar (to "zoom" and begin playing video"
- Stop video playback at approx. five seconds in (video counter reads 00:00:05)
- Rewind "playhead" to very start of video so that the counter reads 00:00:00 and there is definately an image / content being displayed (e.g. is not black)
See attached screen shot with playhead at 00:00:00

How can I delete the iPhoto Video Thumbnails in iMovie?

It's been a while since I've used iMovie, and when I opened the application tonight, I got the following message:
"iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes.
You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie."
I accidentally hit NOW, and the process began. When I realized it had used about 5 GBs of space, I force quit iMovie, but the disk space was not reclaimed. I need this space back now... I can import the iPhoto videos later. How can I undo the generated iPhoto video thumbnails? There was no project generated, and so no folder with the thumbnails in them. Where are they located? I would like to delete the iPhoto video thumbnails within iMovie, but preserve the thumbnails for other projects. And of course I would like to be sure that I keep the videos themselves in iPhoto - I definitely do not want to lose the videos there. Thanks for your help.
Greg

The latest incarnation of iMovie doesn't offer the 'Export with Quicktime'-options, the previous versions did.

Can You Change The Video Thumbnail In iTunes?

I have a few home made videos that are loaded on my itunes Movies.
I would like to change the thumbnail view that iTunes displays.
I know how to add thumbnail artwork by right clicking on the video file
and selecting get info, but that is not what I want to do. When there is
no image in the artwork section iTunes displays a frame from your video
clip as the artwork, this is what I would like to change.
Is it possible on iTunes to select a different frame?

Video thumbnails scrambled, won't playback (v3.4.3)

My video thumbnails in Aperture (version 3.4.3) are scrambled. Sometimes I can see part of a reference thumbnail frame (often in monochrome or with a single color overlay, like green), sometimes it's just all snow.
1) I just restored my mac mini from a time machine backup.
2) I also just imported an iPhoto library
If I browse to a pre-existing (before Time Machine restore) Aperture project, the correct thumbnail appears briefly before changing to the scrambled version.
When I select the video for playback all I get is a blank Viewer window (not video content, no controls, no playback).
If I browse to the source file via finder the video thumbnail displays and the video plays back correctly.
I have tried:
1) verifying and repairing disk permissions
2) repairing Aperture permissions
3) repairing the Aperture database
4) rebuilding the Aperture database
5) regenerating thumbnails (select video Photos->Regenerate Thumbnails) (thumbnail changes, still scrambled)
I don't use Aperture often so I'm not 100% sure when this started, but it seems to be after this current restore as supported by the brief correct appearance of old video thumbnails before they update to the scrambled version.
OS X 10.8.2
Aperture 3.4.3
Example of affected video:
IMG_0002.MOV
QuickTime movie
5MB
640x480
Duration: 00:11
Capture Source: iPhone 3GS

I suggest to check the video codecs you have installled; if you use Perian or have a flip-camera, you may have an incompatible video codec installed, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4155
Why was a TimeMachine restore necessary? And did you use any helper/uninstaller/cleaner utilities, before you made the backup or after restoring? Sometimes this kind of helpers remove too much. I this case you may need to reinstall Mt. Lion to restore missing system components, that are not included in your TimeMachine backup.
Have a look at this thread Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion,
and also at the post: Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion in the same thread.
To reinstall from the "Recovery partition" see Linc Davis's post here: Re: Garageband doesn't open in Mac Mini mid 2011

How to create a video thumbnail???

I'm pretty new to FCP but I've just finished several shorts and I'm getting ready to upload them to my web site and other video sites. I would like a specific frame to appear as the video thumbnail. (In other words: the "preview frame" that appears in the player when it's not playing).
No one in my periphery seems to know how to do this.
Most video sites give you their choices of frames you can use. For instance YouTube gives you three options but chances are none will be the frame you want.
I would like to select the specific frame I want, regardless of where I upload it.
Has anyone had experience with this?

I would like to select the specific frame I want, regardless of where I upload it.
That's not going to work. The frames available on YouTube are set to specific times in the video.
Other services such as Vimeo might use a different timing or a different system altogether.
QuickTime compatible media can take advantage of the Set Poster Frame function and it can be any frame that you choose. Once the clip is outside the QuickTime environment, you take your chances with what's on offer.
The only way you can have any control over this is to set the poster frame in a QuickTime movie and host it on a compatible site such as MobileMe for example.

Black video thumbnails in iPhoto (Mavericks)

Hello everyone.
I have Mavericks on a late 2012 Macbook Pro running iPhoto 9.5.1.
I recently noticed that rough a third of my videos were displaying thumbnails that are just black. I freaked for a second, thinking the movie files were gone or something but thankfull the video files are still there and play just fine.
Still it would be nice to see that the video thumbnail images are rather than just black rectangles, right?
I tried all the different iPhoto rebuilding options (which takes a heckuva long time! ... then purchased iPhoto Library Manager and attempted some rebuild options using that with no luck.
Wondering if anyone has had this issue too and/or solved it?
Cheers!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is it possible to read the description of videos that you can see in iTunes on your iPod Touch 4th Gen or 5th Gen?

I was wondering if it's at all possible to read the description of videos that you have on your iPod Touch 4th or 5th Generation. It's available on iTunes, but I was wondering if there was a way to see it on your actual device.
Any answer would be a great help! Thanks

You can omit the title altogether in the URL (together with the succeeding slash, of course). For example, my own podcast URL in the Store is
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sound-of-78s/id166389425?mt=2
but this works perfectly well:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id166389425
Indeed you can even put your own title:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/any_old_title/id166389425
So it's as simple as that!

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.

Video thumbnails won't display in organizer (win 7)

after importing jpegs & mpegs into premier 8 the pics display as thumbnails but the videos do not. Instead just a film strip icon with the name of the video. the video wont play in the organizer. However video thumbnails display & play if I open them in a project. strange???!

With your MPEGs, it depends on how your system is set up and if they are compatible.
But, with JPEGs, the thumbnails simply may not have been generated yet. It takes a while (depending on how much media you have on your computer and how fast your computer is) for the Organizer to build your initial catalog and generate all of the thumbnails. Be patient. Each time you turn your Organizer on, it's working. Eventually they'll show up -- and then they'll be there for as long as you keep your catalog.
NOTE: The exception is if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7, which is not yet fully compatible with this program.
