Regenerate all Poster Frames and Thumbnails

I modified my poster frame and thumbnail settings and I'd like to delete and regenerate these proxies for all assets in my database. What is the best way of going about this? My question is how to do this as a batch job, not one-by-one. Thanks.

How many asset do you have in your database?

  • Is there a way to browse all "poster frames"/"album artwork" for TV Shows?

    Here's the scenario...
    I have a LOT of old cartoon shows in my iTunes collection, and I have them tagged and sorted as "TV Shows". Unfortunately, when browsing the collection using "Album View", iTunes only shows me ONE poster frame for the entire season.
    This might be fine for some people, but not for me with regards to my collection of old cartoons, because I want each individual show to have its own poster frame that shows the title of that particular episode.
    Yes, I know I can do that by playing the clip, stopping at it the title frame, right-clicking and selecting "Set Poster Frame".
    That's not the issue though. The issue is that I (currently) have more than 2,000 shows in my collection and it understandably takes a long time to manually set the poster-frames for all of them. So I do a whole bunch every so often when I have the time to do so, and then wait a long time before I get round to doing some more.
    Getting on to what the actual issue is though, it's that when using the "Album View" I cannot see the individual per-episode poster-frames of all my separate shows, and so I cannot see what I have artworked so far and what I have not.
    So what I'm asking really is, does anyone know of any alternative ways (3rd-party apps) to at least VIEW (in some kind of "browse" mode), if not edit, individual TV Shows poster frames?
    By the way, I know that converting the TV Shows to Movies will show me individual poster-frames, but that will kill all the hard work I've put into tagging the shows names, episodes, seasons, etc.
    If I'm not making sense here, ask me for clarification on anything.
    I'm using the latest versions of iTunes, and the Mac OS, on Intel, etc.

    You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
    I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
    The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

  • Poster Frame and Trim Mode not working properly with post-synced clips

    Hi Everyone-
    Final Cut Pro seems to be doing something really odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if so what is the fix:
    We are shooting a movie on Red with sound coming in on multitrack wav files. We downconvert the R3D files to Prores and then manually sync the tracks in the timeline.
    We link the pix and sound and drag them to the bin to make our dailies. They all play, in sync. When we try to set a poster frame the issues begin. If I load the clip into the browser park the playhead on a frame and choose poster frame, the actual frame in the bin is very noticably offset (often by a few seconds).
    Also, when I use the trim mode, the frames jump to a different part of the shot during trim. It's like the shot is jumping ahead or back while I hit the frame advance or recede buttons. Once I let go of the button the image jumps to the correct number of frames. But, it's very distracting if I am trying to trim, for example, to just before an actor blinks. I can't trim 1 frame at a time. I have to keep hitting the button, watching the picture jump to a different part of the shot, release the trim button and watch the picture jump back to the now correctly trimmed frame...
    As a test I took some of the Prores clips with scratch track sound and brought them into the bin directly from the finder, bypassing the syncing. Using those clips, the trim and poster frames work as expected. Obviously something is going on during syncing.
    I assumed maybe because the audio and pix we different lengths the clip was getting "confused", and didn't know where to "start". So, in the timeline with the synced clips, I razor bladed a few shots, linked them, and dragged them to the bin so the audio and video were the exact same length... Same issue.
    I have noticed the same behavior on 2 separate Macs so I don't think its a preference or corrupted install issue.
    Anyone seen this and have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    David

    Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.

  • Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

    Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
    I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
    I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
    should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
    the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
    sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
    start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
    I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
    iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
    to the poster frame.
    I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
    around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
    and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
    it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
    it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
    work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
    Any help appreciated.

    Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
    are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
    the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
    Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
    just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
    Flash for the first time".

  • Poster Frame Bug?

    After creating a Photo Page and adding 3 movies. I set the Poster Frame on all 3 movies plus adjust some of the movies in's and out's. I publish and everything is great. If I quit iWeb and open it again to update my website, the photo pages with movies lose the poster frame and in and outs. So I have to manually set them again before publishing??? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks!

    Darren;
    Are you adding the movies in the photo page area where photos usually go? A better option would be to add the three movies to a non photo page like shown on this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. That way you can use any frame of the movie as the poster frame and the movies do not load until the play button or the thumbnail (example at bottom of page) is clicked on.

  • Poster Frames

    I have set a Poster Frame to a Frame near the end of
    a 5 min, Video. When I open the movie in QT it starts at the poster frame and only plays the last few seconds of the video.
    How can I Set a Poster frame near the end but have the video start playing from the begining?

    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    1. Export the frame that you want as your poster as a Picture in QT Pro.
    2. Open up your video in iTunes.
    3. Get Info on the video in your iTunes library and select the Artwork tab.
    4. Delete the old poster frame and drag the Picture of the poster frame into the Artwork window.
    I think that's what you wanted. Let me know if it's not.

  • Is there a way in an unstructered Frame11.0 file to change all anchored frames in the file to a specific size at the same time?

    Is there a way in an unstructered Frame11.0 file to change all anchored frames in the file to a specific size at the same time?

    Rog,
    This is perfect use case for ExtendScript. You could easily iterate over all anchored frames and resize them. You would probably want to resize the contents as well, though, which would add a few extra lines of code.

  • Resetting poster frame for video

    I accidentally hit the Set Poster Frame option on a video I bought from iTMS and want to reset it to the original. How do I do that?

    There is no reset option for poster frames.
    Just move to the frame (probably somewhere at the beginning) that was your previous poster frame and set it again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Poster frames are failing for Mpeg1 assets - thumbnails show up as all white.

    I have Mpeg1 encoded files that are created by compressor, they are mpeg1 320x240 @ 1,800kbps with 192kbps mpeg1-L2 audio
    When Final Cut Server analyses them, the poster frame job simply fails without any decent info on what went wrong. The thumbnail shows up as pure white.
    Does anyone have a clue as to how I fix this, please?
    Thanks

  • Missing Art and "Set Poster Frame" Images

    Has anyone come across this yet? I have a very large library and since upgrading to iTunes8, well over 75% of the artwork or 'Set Poster Frame' images either have been found or I have created over the years does not show up in any of the iTunes view in the main window. All of the art is located in the correct "Album Artwork" folder. To make matters more confusing, it seems to be random as far as what files are effected. So it does not matter if it has been media that I have loaded in or something I have purchased from the iTunes Store. And to make matters more annoying, ALL the art work shows up in the "Now Playing" window. I have run the "Get Album Artwork" a couple of times to see if that would help but it has not. I have also randomly played various songs or movies to see it that would help iTunes find the art. That doesn't work either. Any Ideas?

    I'm working on Twilight Zone right now. I'd like to have a different image for each episode: the broken glasses from "Time Enough at Last", or the gigantic alien from "To Serve Man"; i.e., an image that will reflect the content of THAT episode. Then, for the grid view, where you simply see the show names of all the shows you have (TZ Season 1, Season 2, etc.), I'd like the generalized 'box cover' image to display. I've tried right-clicking on the SHOW in the grid view, and then pasting an image into the "Artwork" box on the Info tab. I've then used the "Set Poster Frame" function (as outlined in the help section you cited in your reply) to choose a specific image from a specific episode. But iTunes won't retain my choices - it either shows the box cover image for all the episodes, or show the 'Poster Frame' from whichever episode I happened to first perform that function on. Thank you for your help.

  • Jumping frame counter and thumbnail offsets in PE3

    I've been creating thumbnail offsets for my DVD markers in PE3 by subtracting the DVD marker placement from the current frame counter. One was off by two frames, and I couldn't figure out why, until I stepped frame-by-frame. The frame counter jumps from 00;31;59;29 to 00;32;00;02! Why is this? The first number is where the DVD marker and transition are, but I've never seen this before.
    Also, is there an easier way to compute the thumbnail offsets than doing the math? I know you can slide the offset with the mouse, but that's rather small and difficult to control. Is there a way to tell it to "use the current frame"?
    Thanks,
    John S.

    Steve,
    Thanks for the reply.
    No, my source video is all dv-avi over firewire from a minidv camcorder. If the transfer hiccupped and dropped two frames, could that be the cause? I figured PE would count the frames and do its own numbering, rather than rely on the data encoded in the dv-avi.
    Your method #1 is what I meant by "doing the math", since the timecode of the dvd marker has to be subtracted from the timecode of the frame to get the offset. That is of course absolutely precise -- provided the timecode in PS isn't missing any frames! And dragging as in #2 can get tedious when the offset is minutes long. Not that I'm averse to some math, but I was just wondering if there was some way of putting in the current frame directly.
    Thanks,
    John S.

  • NI USB CAN 8473 write single frame and log all frame of network with read notification on the same port

    Hello,
    I am trying to code an application which:
    - Write sometime (button click) a frame on a CAN network
    - Log all frame of CAN NETWORK
    My hardware is NI USB 8473 (1 port).
    1/ After reading NI help about CAN APIs, I think it is not possible to do "log all CAN frame" with Channel API because I need to install a asynchronous callback to read all message, and this functionality is only present in frame API.
    Anyone can confirm?
    2/ No problem let's use Frame API
    I have tried "CAN Receive with Notification" example delivered with NI-CAN driver, configured on virtual CAN256.
    I start other sample program to generate some frame on virtual CAN257, no problem, everything is working.
    So, i have tried to modify "CAN Receive with Notification" to add write function. I have mixed this source with "Transmit Receive same Port" sample (which works fine alone on CAN256).
    My program is running, but nothing appens when I click on WRITE button.
    I suppose some attribute are not confired, but which one.
    Anyone can help? (source of my modified sample is joined to this post).
    Thanx.
    PS: please note im a newbie with CAN

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting your question on National Instruments' Forums.
    I'm a little puzzled by your question.
    If I understood well, you just want to receive every frame reaching the port and sometime write something through the port. Am I correct ?
    You are right when you state that the NI USB 8473 can only work with frame API. However, if the operation you want to make is the one I discribed above, I can't see where you encounter a difficulty.
    Indeed, for such a case, the example you mentionned in your post is perfectly suited. "Transmit Receive same Port" allows you to receive the frames reaching the port and write we needed too.
    I think this example shoudl do the trick.
    Or have you a more specific application in mind ?
    I hope this information will help you.
    Best regards,
    Guillaume H.

  • Set the thumbnail/poster frame?

    I use iMovie to generate QuickTime files, which I embed in HTML web pages.
    Is there a way to specify the frame which displays when the embedded movie is not being played? I.e. the image that appears in the QuickTime player in the webpage, prior to hitting play.
    Thanks for any help!
    Mike

    When I tried setting the poster frame in QT Pro and then saving the file, the format seemed to have mysteriously changed.
    If you check the "Inspector" or "Properties" windows you should find that the audio and video compression formats have remained the same. What did change was the file container which I now assume is MOV.
    When put online, the new files remain as giant quicktime logos, whereas the original versions would start to show video immediately. I think this may have been because I exported from iMovie as "streaming". Do you happen to know how to preserve this parameter when saving from QT Pro?
    Not knowing how you are posting your files it is difficult to guess what is confusing the plug-in player. For instance, did you remember to change the file extensions in your references to match the new file container extension? Or, if you did, did you empty the download cache or force a page reload to refresh the page changes? As to setting the "Fast Start" option for auto playback while the movie is being cached to the local hard drive, this is normally re-set to "on" when you access the "Save As..." option in QT Pro. Of course, the file embedded setting is overridden if you embed an "AutoPlay" parameter with a value like "True", "False", or a specific cache load point that will automatically start playback when a cache download reaches that time reference. If you are using an application like iWeb to post your pages, then simply set the "Autoplay" option and let the application write the code for you. The hinted tracks are only needed if you are actually posting your files to a real time streaming server. The "Fast Start" content is what most users actually see/use here and are talking about whe the talk about streaming. In any case, until the logo problem is corrected, you won't know whether you file still capable of "Fast Start" auto playback.
    As an alternative you can always "paste" a still frame of the same dimensions as your movie as the first display frame in your movie or create/code a separate "poster frame" still image to your web page. (I believe QT Kirk has covered this latter work flow a number of times in the QT Pro forum.)
