Should poster frame be rendering as the file icon?

I am self-taught in AE and must have missed something basic here.
I am simply trying to set which image (frame) will appear as the icon for a renedered comp. I understand how to set the poster frame for a comp, and I get the desired result in the project window when the comp is selected. I "set poster time" while the timeline window is selected as well, but when my comp is renedered the icon is always the frame at 10 seconds on the timeline.
I've done quite a bit of research, but must be missing something obvious.
Thanks!

I don't think these features ever worked right in any version of AE. It's definitely broken for Quicktime output and this may be the same for AE's own internal thumbnail rendering. Though, admittedly, I never much cared for that and couldn't tell you what's right and what's wrong. I'd have to check this specifically.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

Using the file icon instead of the Thumbnail icon

I get the following error messages when I double click the files icon or drag the file to the Ai app icon in the dock. The only way to open the files is via File > Open with in the app.
Photoshop and InDesign files open fine, it's just Illustrator.

I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?

Why did the file icon shrink?

Recently the file icons of pdf-files shrinked. The icon now is smaller on a white background.
Why?
What does that mean?

It's not a white background, it's a small preview of the actual document contents. Obviously not very useful for people with less than great eyesight. I'm currently having a problem with this at my office. I need to switch it back to just a PDF icon so my users aren't freaking out on me.

When I render my project to a NTSC file for Computer play back, the audio is not rendered and the file has no sound. How do I fix it?

I build my project using videos and photos and I add sound at the end for a few photos. I then render the project to a NTSCDVD Standard file so I can play it on a Computer. Once the file is rendered and I play it, there is no sound at all. I am using Premiere Elements 13, recently installed on 12/29/2015. Previously, I had a trial copy and before I could uninstall it, it disappeared. I don't know if that had any thing to do with my full version.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
What are the properties of your source video and photos and what project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set as the project preset
to match those source properties? In this regard, please tell us the readings that you see under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General
Editing Mode
Timebase
Frame Size
Pixel Aspect Ratio
even if the fields look grayed out.
What is your choice under Publish+Share/Computer/ which is using the NTSC DVD Standard preset? Are you using Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with the NTSC DVD Standard preset? If so, are you using the default export settings or customizing them in anyway under the Advanced Button/Video Tab or Audio Tab? If you export your Timeline to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime with a preset = NTSC DV, does your file have sound in the export with your player?
What are you using as the player for this export?
Let us start here and then decide what next?
Thanks.

Leopard altered all the file icons?

Hi, I've just upgraded to Leopard, and the system is working fine. However, whenever I open a folder to look at the files, all the old icon images appear in color for a second, then sequentially begin to grey out and change to something else.
Is this the way Leopard is supposed to work? Seems like a step backwards. I like having color file icons associated with the different programs.
Thanks for any help

go to finder view menu->show view options and toggle the check box "show preview icons" off and on. see which option you like better.

Select (highlight) the file in Finder, click Get Info in the File menu (or use Command I), change Open With in the Get Info window. Click Change All if you want all PDF files to do the same.

What happened to the Save Frame As... on the File menu? It was there in FF 3.6; it's absent now.

My data source is a daily table on a Web page. In FF 3.16 I click in the table and select File>Save Frame As.... In the Save As dialog box, I key a file name ending in ".txt". The data is saved in a tab-separated text file that I open in Excel.
In FF 5.0.1 File>Save Page As… results in Excel opening a blank sheet.

Right-click the frame with that file to get "This Frame" > "Save Frame as"

FCP - Rendering & Reconnecting the files

Hi
Rending-
I'm facing slow speed on the rendering and prepare video in Final cut.
The Video info is "1920 x 1080" & "Codecs: Linear PCM, MPEG-2 Video"
I think maybe because the sequence setting do not have the option for me to match with original files. I have rending each time when I move around the clip in the time line. And each time I'm rending it takes about a hour for 20 mins footage. When I try to write the video take even longer.
Reconnect the offline files-
After I have transfer the date to another external hard drive. I know the filing system can not recognize change location's files. But how do I set one time for FCP to recognize the new files with reconnect every time when I reopen the fcp?
Thank you

Two questions:
1. How much is your time worth?
2. Is this material going for theatrical or broadcast release?
If the answer to question 1 is "a great deal" or the answer to question 2 is "no", then it makes a great deal of sense to convert the material to ProRes LT (or ProRes if you are on FCP 6)
If the answer to #1 is "nothing at all" or the answer to #2 is "it is scheduled for release next year", then leave the material in it's native state and suffer your way through it.

When downloading a *.cap or *.capx file Firefox opens it where it should ask what to do with the file. What to do?

*.cap files are generated by Capella from capella.de a scorewriter program.
Whenever I open a *.cap or *.capx file Firefox opens it always with a kind of lister-program i.s.o. asking what to do.
Internet Explorer and Chrome handle these files in a correct way. There I can define to open these files with a Capella program.
Firefox is the negative exception.

Type '''about:preferences#applications'''<enter> in the address bar.
In the search bar, enter '''cap''' If anything is listed, change the action
(far right) to download or ask.

Why doesn't the poster image show up as the first frame of my movie?

I am new at this and maybe misunderstand the Help screen. I have a bunch of short movies which I have laid out in iWeb and published to my iDisk. I want them to load with a still image from the movie rather than show up as a black frame. The meager Help info says to drag the playhead to the desired frame and then Set Poster Frame. I have done that and saved the file and then brought that into iWeb. But then the movie loads with the start point at that frame instead of at 00:00. If I do a Set Poster Frame and then pull the playhead back to zero and save it simply loads a black box again.
What step am I missing or I am using the wrong procedure altogether?
