Thumbnail image in timeline

In Final Cut X, when I drag a clip from the browser and insert it in the timeline, I lose the thumbnail image and am left with only audio. The image plays in the viewer however. Does anyone have this problem or a solution? Thanks.

use the edits buttons below the clip browsers or ensure that the mouse pointer turns into a hand before dragging.
Also, try to choose different views to see if the window refreshes itself. I don't know why this is happening on your side.

Thumbnail images on timeline clips turned red like media is not connected

But the media is connected. Is there away to get the little thumbnail photos back on the timeline?

Quit Final Cut Pro.
Trash the contents of the Thumbnail Cache Files folder.
Relaunch final Cut Pro.

Timeline thumbnail images

Okay, so I am a little embarrassed to post this, but I have been a FCP user for about 6 years and have always wondered if this is possible.
When I lose a link to a movie file in any project, if the file is in use on the timeline, the timeline thumbnail displays the red and black "MEDIA OFFLINE" image. For some reason, when I reconnect the file, the thumbnail continues to display the offline warning. Is there a way to refresh that little image? I have tried saving the project after reconnecting the file and restarting, but it always comes back up with the OFFLINE warning still there.
Of course, I can live without having refreshed thumbnail images, but sometimes it gives clients a little scare. Just curious how, if at all, this might be possible.

I've always found giving the client a little scare is a good thing. Keeps 'em humble

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen

The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.
Below are 2 sets of code:
a] the first is located within the first frame of the first button, and has some extra variables in it that the additional buttons call upon...
b] the second is the code applied to every other button.

Missing thumbnails in the timeline

I'm learning how to cut video in the timeline, and noticed that only the first three cuts result in a thumbnail image, while the last 4 cuts are displayed by a small grey box with a + symbol in the center. Am I doing something wrong here? How does one get all of the thumbs to show?

See if this helps.

The thumbnail images have disappeared from one of my sequences

I have 3 sequences open in the timeline and the thumbnail images have disappeared from the clips in one of them. It's very frustrating to work without them, how do I get them back?

Thanks so much! That actually wasn't it though... The thumbnail display was already set to 'name plus thumbnail' but 'track size' was set to 'custom'. Once I changed 'track size' to 'small' (which is what my other sequences which were displaying thumbnails were set to) the thumbnails reappeared. Yipee!!!!

Static thumbnail images not functioning (Encore 1.5.1)

I've been using Encore 1.5.1 (Build 42735) for many years now on this PC (AMD X2, Shuttle XPC P2500G), and have had no problems. However, in the last couple of weeks, the following symptom has developed...
My typical workflow is to encode M2V files using Premiere Pro 1.5.1, then import them as timelines into Encore 1.5.1. Once the timeline is created, I then set the chapter points, create menus, select video buttons, etc. Ultimately, I set thumbnail images for each video button using the "SET POSTER FRAME") option (based on frames from the M2V timeline), preview the project, then create a DVD image.
The Problem - When I try to "set poster frames" using timelines associated with M2V files, the image that appears in the menu editor's video button is severely distorted. (In some cases, the image is also upside down!) The image is corrupt when previewing the project and when the DVD is burned.
This only seems to happen when I use M2V files AND I make the buttom image static. In other words, if I check "Animate Buttons", the thumbnail image in the menu editor is corrupt, but previews and burns correctly. Also, if I use AVI files instead, everything works perfectly.
By the way, preview/playback of the actual M2V timeline works fine. It's almost as if Encore's menu editor is now having trouble interpreting the data from the M2V file.
As I stated before, I've been using M2V files in Encore since 2004 with no issues, and in the last few weeks this problem has begun. Has anyone out there encountered this problem? If so, what is causing it and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I've done some additional testing... But first a little background.
I have 2 PCs with almost identical software installed on them, including Premiere Pro 1.5.1 and Encore DVD 1.5.1. Although the hardware is different, I've configured these machines to be able to share any project I've EVER created. Any software installed on the first PC (built in 2003 - XP Home SP2) has been duplicated on the second PC (built in 2005 - XP Pro SP2). In fact, whenever I upgrade software on one machine, I always upgrade both to keep them in synch. Since 2005 I've been able to move projects back and forth between these two PCs with no problem whatsoever.
Now the test...
I created a different five minute m2v file on each PC using the media encoder (v1.1) within Premiere Pro 1.5.1. (Remember, that's my normal workflow.)
I took the m2v file from the older (and still functioning correctly) PC, then used that file to create Encore projects on both PCs. I took the m2v file created on the newer (and currently not functioning correctly) PC and created Encore projects on both PCS.
That's a total of 4 Encore projects. For each project, I created a simple "blank 4X3 menu", and added a single video button. I linked the button to the 1 and only chapter on the timeline, then set the poster frame for the button.
The results are as follows:
1) It doesn't matter which computer creates the m2v - Any m2v can be copied to the old, functioning PC, and the Encore menu editor and the preview function displays perfectly.
2) When using the Encore menu editor and preview features from the newer, problematic PC, single images (from m2v files created from either PC) set as poster frames are not interpreted properly. The image is displayed upside-down with a "mosaic" look to it.
3) If I set the thumnail image of the button, check "Animate Buttons", then render the motion menus, the menu editor still displays the corrupted image, but the preview looks perfect.
4) If I use AVI files instead, all these problems disappear.
Someone suggested this might be a codec problem, but if so, wouldn't the files not encode correctly as well? Remember, I can create the m2v on the "bad" computer, copy it to the "good" computer, and everything works fine.
It is true that (a month or so ago) I upgraded software on both machines - QuickTime 7.5.5 (which probably has some codecs) and Sonicfire Pro 5, which needs QT to run. Both sets of installs/upgrades went smoothly and the software on both PCs is working with no anomolies. Since the exact same versions are on both computers (with the old machine working perfectly), I'm having trouble buying the bad/rogue codec theory.
I could ignore this problem and just use AVI files. However, since AVI files are so much larger and take so long to back up to 4mm tape, I really don't see that as a long term solution.
Based on this information, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much.

Thumbnail image problems continue...

Within a few minutes of opening FCPX the thumbnails disappear on the timeline and only one Thumbnail image at a time appears in the browser as I mouse on the clips. I have been able to fix this by trashing prefs and cache files but the problem never goes away.
I also notice that now when I quit it takes about two minutes as FCPX "cancels background tasks' - then it hangs and will not quit.
Anyone have an answer - there are other posts that refer to no thumbnails and I've tried most solutions with no complete or lasting success. Thanks.
I am on latest version FCPX and OS and running a new Mac Pro 6-core and 24Mb memory.

Thanks - I looked at this solution before with no luck.
But what I now see is that my render files were not being written - to force this I changed the location to the Library on my main editing drive and I think is now working.

Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable

Hi all
One of the good features of encore, that is most useful for inexperienced users
is the button thumbnail image/video extraction
however the facility to retain the image capture seems locked with the functional button presence on the dvd menu
have i overlooked a method of disabling of this within encore without loss of image capture, or is it a photoshop requirement
Any suggestions
Regards
Robert

Hi John
your solution seems like the most workable solution so far for video display in this button thumbnail, this does work quite effectively although the button is still present.
thanks for this, heres some further solutions/info we have
PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture choose - convert the button to an object
this effectively traps the image capture and resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button route.
VIDEO DISPLAY
The preview feature - render motion menus may be a good solution for the video thumbnail however it is exported in mpg and the quality may be reduced
the render motion menus facility will compile a video from the items visible at any time.
example
Hide from view all non required items in the motion background ie other buttons and text items
excluding the thumbnail button and background
then by setting the link of the button to the relevant chapter or video to complete video capture
choose - render motion menus
encore compiles a video background with the video thumb nail included and saves it in the respective project sources/menus folder named Video_Bpgc_Asf.mpg
by importing a copy of this into your project (must be a copy)
and using this as the motion background to the menu, all navigation issues and auto button routing are solved
after of course deleting or disabling the respective button from the menu and reactivating all hidden buttons and text etc.
or am i being lazy and trying to avoid a jump to another software to do this ?
Regards
Robert

How to I get high res thumbnail images?

Just discovered once I've imported images into my library Aperture 3.2.2 (running under 10.7.3) doesn't render high res thumbnail images (when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is set to the far right/maximum), even though my "Previews" preference settings are as follows:
"Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" is unchecked
"Don't Limit" for Photo Preview is selected
Photo Preview quality set to 10
Deleting and regenerating thumbnails doesn't solve the issue. However, if I delete the photo from the referenced library, then reimport the image, the browser thumbnail image renders sharp. The low res thumbnail is at left; high res thumbnail (after re-import) is at right. Both thumbnails images are sharp when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is positioned in the middle. Photos render sharp in the Viewer, regardless.
Going back through my images, it seems Aperture stopped providing a sharp thumbnail image since around July 2010. Other than updating Aperture, my workflow or supported camera hasn't changed. Couldn't find a reference to this issue in the User Manual. Am I missing something a setting somewhere?
Thanks,
Eric

Its unclear if the command Generate Thumbnails actually does anything if the thumbs already exist and as there isn;t a Delete Thumbnails command like there is a Delete preview command there are only two ways to force a new thumb to be generated.
One is to import the image again and two is to delete the Thumbnail folder in the Aperture library. I don;t know for sure if this will fix you problem but as I said it is the only way to force the generation of the thumbs.
If you try this make sure you have a good working backup of the library. Nothing here will normally cause data loss but it is always a good idea before messing with the library.
Quit Aperture, Highlight the library in the Finder and right click, Select show package contents. One fo the folders you'll see is Thumbnails, delete it. Open Aperture.
Also be aware that the regeneration of the thumbs will take some time. Depending on the size of the library it could be an all day affair. Aperture is usable while this is going on but it will be slower.

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.

How can I create an effect to cycle through several sets of 12 thumbnail images rather than just one

Hello
I've searched everywhere i can think of and had no luck so thought it's about time i asked for help.
How do I create an effect where a group of 12 thumbnail images (all with clickable links) can scroll across by clicking a button to reveal another set of 12 thumbnails and so on without having to refresh the page, im assuming jquery can help but every single slideshow or scroll effect I've come across is for single images and not a set of images.
Its a gallery part of my website and the images are in sets of 4 in 3 rows.
All and any help will be greatly apprieciated!

I think what you want is a Carousel Scroller. See Demo and Examples

Thanks a lot.

Bad choice. Only one person involved in that thread knew what they were doing...and you copied from the wrong one.
Here is my procedure:Lose it. Custom download procedures are overcomplicated and now almost never required.
See the recommendation to use declarative BLOB support, as shown in the Thumbnail image problems.

How can I create a jpeg thumbnail image?

I'd like to create a clear jpeg thumbnail image of the first page of a document created in InDesign. It will be used in Constant Contact as a link to the online version of the document. (Constant Contact doesn't take JPEG's)
I especially need help making it crisp and clear.
Thank you!

And there will be occasions when it's not better, and there are alternative ways to get better results.
You may not have tested every situation and font, but I've done enough to know that sometimes it doesn't work as expected. And it wasn't a "challenge", it was an observation.
Here's 3 ways to make a JPEG - and the one that is the best is the one that was exported to PDF and then opened in Photoshop and then Saved as a JPEG.
.........Direct Export .........................Export PDF................................Export PDF
.....to JPEG.from ID.....................Open in Photoshop.............Save to JPEG from Acrobat.
(EDIT - The forum is adding extra compression to the images - I assure you the middle image is the best)

Thumbnail images in the event browser

After about 20 minutes on FCPX the thumbnail images in the event browser randomaly disappear. If I move the scrubber bar over the blank thumbnail the image reappears but only for as long as I linger on the thumbnail. The audio track remains visible all the time. Changing the view or the scale doesn't help. It's difficult to find clips, as you can imagine. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks Russ. After returning to original layout the problem subsided but returned after a longer time period (about two hours). I was just working (on a different project) and suddenly %90 of the thumbnails turned blue. I could still see the audio information but the pictures vanished. The picture returns when the scrubbing bar hovers over the thumbnail then disappears again when I take the bar away. This is incredibly frustrating. Could it be because I'm using a thunderboldt display off of my Mac Book Pro? Both are less than 1 year old and the Pro is (was) top of the line at the time. Blind as a bat.
