Video preview icons

I've got one video (avi) out of hundreds on my system that have a thumbnail icon that is a preview of the file. Is there a way to have all video files show a preview in the icon (like photos do)?

i mean only one has a preview, the rest do not.

  • Preview icon for DV video files is blank

    I have just installed OSX 10.9 and I find that the preview icon in the Finder for a DV tape file is blank. This is in the column mode.
    Before Mavericks a small video window was displayed that I could click to get a miniature video preview.
    Any suggestions?

    I am having the exact same problem. None of my video thumbnails are showing up, and every time i open a file, it takes forever to convert the file to even play in QuickTime. I took my macbook to the Apple store, and they said there was nothing they could really do besides use time machine to back everything up and possibly downgrade the OS

  • Is there any way to disable preview-icons & fileinfo for connected drives?

    Is there any way to disable preview-icons & fileinfo for connected drives?
    i.e. when i'm connecting to SMB share, and i see .mp4 file, i see icon change to video-frame.
    and when i see folder, i see "5 items"
    and i wanna disable it per-dir or per-connect.

    The dispatcher caches the entire HTTP response body, so doing what you are describing actually requires two steps:
    1) Loading the non-cacheable component through Ajax (or some other edge side assembly technology like ESI)
    2) Including the Dispatcher: no-cache header in the response when that component is requested.
    #1 is pretty easy to do with jQuery
    #2 is covered here: http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Dispatcher/faq-s/DispatcherNoCache.html
    You will probably want to use the WCMMode to only do the dynamic loading on the publish server.

  • Ichat hangs when I video preview

    I've tried 2 isignts. They work with ivisit and yahoo but when I try and start a one on one video conference or video preview the app always hangs.
    I've tried reinstalling ichat using pacifist. Tossing out all the plist files associated with isight and ichat but the same thing happens.

    Hello alan,
    It seems you have already tested your iSights using the hints in the How To Ensure Your iSight Is Functional FAQ and have determined that you do not have an iSight problem.
    Does iChat hang when you launch it from the
    b Finder > Go > Applications
    folder iChat iCon, too?

  • Disable the Wiki Preview icon.

    I'm looking for a way to disable the Preview icon on the default wiki server.  I'm running into an issue where some of the video we're uploading to share internally is very large format, and as a result when a user chooses to preview the video on the site, opposed to downloading it to view, the preview screen is larger than the typical display.  I suspect the orginal video was shot and edited as 720p or higher, and thus the sizing issue.
    Is there simply a way to disable the Preview icon, the eyball, so users are required to download the files opposed to just looking at the quicklook-like preview?

    Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
    First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
    interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
    fully agree with this statement.
    But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
    we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
    a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
    it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
    functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
    depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
    over it.
    The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
    Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
    designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
    as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
    the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
    the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
    In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
    In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
    How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
    What can I do and where?
    I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
    are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
    indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
    I think this discussion is far from ending...

  • Google talk video plugin does not work any more with Firefox 4. When clicking on the video chat icon, I am repeatedly asked to install the plugin, and it never works.

    Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
    Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.

    Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • No more audio or video preview in column view?

    weird one... on my powerbook (g4) i suddenly have no ability to play/preview audio or video file in column view in the finder. works fine on my desktop machine with the same os and such...? highlighting a file just gives its name and dates and such, no ability to preview.
    using 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3. tried updating prebinding (and other normal quickfixes). think i might need to reinstall quicktime?

    well, yes i tried all the basic quick fixes. (plus diskwarrior and applejack, etc.)
    i thought i might find it in some of the preferences of finder or quicktime but no go.
    the weirder thing is that if you highlight an audio or video file in the column view, while it gives no audio or video preview, if you click on the "get more info" button (or command-i) there will be the audio or video preview.
    ???

  • Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

    I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video  "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled."  How can I get the view preview back?

    FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
    Try trashing the FCE preferences.

  • How to tell whether video preview is working?

    An app shows video preview with code essentially the same as in
    the MSDN document:
    async void ShowPreview(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    if (mediaCaptureMgr == null)
    // Using Windows.Media.Capture.MediaCapture APIs
    // to stream from webcam
    mediaCaptureMgr = new MediaCapture();
    await mediaCaptureMgr.InitializeAsync();
    myCaptureElement.Source = mediaCaptureMgr;
    await mediaCaptureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
    It works most of the time. However, sometimes the video does not show. When this happens, myCaptureElement.ActualWidth and myCaptureElement.ActualHeight still return the correct values. This probably means at least something is working. In this case, how can
    the code tell what my eyes can see - the video is not showing?
    Hong

    Hi Hong,
    Based on my knowledge, your problem may related to the dispose of the MediaCapture object. Forget to dispose it when app suspends will result in a negative user experience for your app.
    About your question, I’ve not seen such property in MediaCapture class, so it’s recommend to create a Boolean that indicate whether the app is currently previewing video. You need to maintain this object when start or stop preview. You can find more information
    from this page.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh868171.aspx. See Step 5 section.

  • Video Preview not Working in CS6

    Before AE CS6, I was using AE CS 5.5 on my MacBook Pro (model 8,3)  and I could always go to AE Preferences:Video Preview and choose my additional monitor for previewing. I was previewing my Stereo 3d comps perfectly on my 3D hdtv through a HDMI to Mini Display Port cable.
    I now have a Mac Pro and AE CS6 and in that preference, the "Output Device" dropdown only lists Firewire and Computer Monitor Only. With my old setup, I could choose my TV and everything was great. But this new setup won't allow me to see or choose my TV.
    Please help! Has anyone else had this problem? Has something in AE CS6 changed for external monitors? I can't tell if it is CS6 or the fact that I have a new Mac Pro and it's video card might be different...

    That's a great lead. I realized that Final Cut Cut Studio 6 was on my laptop before but it is not on my new Mac Pro. FC Studio 6 includes a bunch of codecs as I recall. So I went to install it on my new Mac Pro and I got an error message that said my Mac cant install Power PC architecture (or something like that) and wouldnt let me install it. Any Idea how I can get those codecs without installing FC Pro 6?
    PS: I tried AE CS6 on my TV and it worked like a charm. There were lots more option in the Video Preview Preference.

  • Video previews not working in iTunes

    Hi all,
    I've seen this posted a few different ways without any resolution to the problem so I thought I would give it a shot.
    Video previews are not working properly for me. When in the iTunes Store and I click on a "View Trailer" for a movie or preview for a music video, a pop-up window appears in iTunes with a white background. The audio will kick in but the video never starts. I am using iTunes 9.2 (61).
    Has anyone uncovered a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    Just to clean this unresolved issue up, seemingly the problem disappeared after upgrading to iTunes 9.2.1 (5).
    Thanks!

  • Camera video preview - Random crashes and green screens

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently working on a Windows Phone 8.1 app and I need to preview video from the phone's back camera. For quite some time I've been struggling with random crashes and green screens. When these green screens appear, all camera apps become affected and
    the device needs to be restarted. Occasionally the phone freezes and only recovers after battery removal. I test the app on my Lumia 620.
    After some web search, I found references to the same problem by many users/developers of different apps. I'm really frustrated as I've tried many possible solutions with no avail.
    Here is part of my code:
    //in App.xaml.cs:
    MediaCaptureInitializationSettings settings;
    public static MediaCapture captureMgr;
    public static bool UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
    public async Task InitializeVideoCapture()
    DeviceInformation backWebcam = await GetCameraDeviceInfoAsync(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
    if(captureMgr!=null) captureMgr.Dispose();
    captureMgr = new MediaCapture();
    settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings();
    settings.StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video;
    settings.PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview;
    settings.AudioDeviceId = "";
    if (backWebcam != null)
    settings.VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id;
    else
    var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Back panel camera not found");
    _messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
    _messageDialog.ShowAsync();
    try
    await captureMgr.InitializeAsync(settings);
    captureMgr.SetPreviewRotation(VideoRotation.Clockwise90Degrees);
    UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
    catch
    UnableToInitializeCamera = true;
    Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: camera could not be initialized");
    var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Unable to initialize camera");
    _messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
    _messageDialog.ShowAsync();
    protected override async void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
    //.... other app initialization code
    await InitializeVideoCapture();
    Window.Current.Activate();
    private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
    AppIsResuming = true;
    FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));//this makes crashes less frequent
    await InitializeVideoCapture();
    FinishedCameraInitialize = true;
    if(WasPreviewingCamera)
    WasPreviewingCamera = false; //the following line allows time for SetupPage._captureElement to be assigned before video preview starts while (!SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
    SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
    try
    Debug.WriteLine("trying to restart video preview");
    await captureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
    SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = true;
    catch
    Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: unable to start previewing");
    SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
    GC.Collect();
    AppIsResuming = false;
    private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
    var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
    while (AppIsResuming) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));//prevents crash when app is suspended right after it is resumed
    await CleanupCaptureResources();
    TimeOfLastSuspend = DateTime.Now;
    FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
    GC.Collect();
    deferral.Complete();
    public async Task CleanupCaptureResources()
    if (SetupPage.PreviewingCamera)
    await captureMgr.StopPreviewAsync();
    WasPreviewingCamera = true;
    SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
    else WasPreviewingCamera = false;
    if (captureMgr != null) captureMgr.Dispose();
    //in SetupPage.xaml.cs
    void OnSuspending(object sender, Windows.ApplicationModel.SuspendingEventArgs e)
    var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
    _captureElement.Source = null;
    CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
    GC.Collect();
    deferral.Complete();
    private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
    ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
    ProgressRing2.IsActive = true;
    while (!App.FinishedCameraInitialize) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
    App.FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
    captureElement.Source = App.captureMgr;
    CaptureElementSourceAssigned = true;
    GC.Collect();
    ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
    ProgressRing2.IsActive = false;
    Any help towards a solution will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I will also advice that you start by following the
    Windows Store app sample.
    Is this a Windows Phone app?
    The crash/green screen only manifests itself when I suspend my app and switch to the default camera app (could be any other camera app perhaps). It happens roughly 1 out of 8 times. That's why I posted the suspension and resuming handlers, which I wrote
    according to the msdn instructions.
    I found
    this page with a sample that demonstrates the MediaCapture API for Windows Phone. Some developers have reported problems similar as mine. Has Microsoft dealt with this issue?
    I've spent quite a few weeks trying to investigate this problem, without actually knowing if it is my code that needs to be debugged. That's why I'm asking if other developers are facing similar problems.
    Thank you
    Edit: It seems that the crash/green screen can appear when suspending/switching to any app (regardless if it uses the camera or not). Also, all works fine when the app is running on the debugger.

  • On Mac OS 10.9 with Adobe CC 2014, preview icons not displaying

    We've had increasing problems with icons in Photoshop, ever since CS6. We're now on PS CC 2014 and the latest MAC OS 10.9, and the issue with icons is becoming unbearable! We simply can't find things anymore, and it's starting to really be a problem.
    At first it was just the little tiny preview icon in the title bar that disappeared and just shows a generic icon. But now the finder preview is not showing correctly with PSD files, and TIF files created in Photoshop. We thought it might be an OS issue, so we followed steps to delete the com.apple.preview.plst file and restart. But the problem persists. HOWEVER, if I open one of these files in GIMP, and then save, the icon comes back. Open the same file in PS and the icon disappears again.
    Any idea how to fix this? It's driving us nuts.

    Chris
    Why is it that when I re-save a TIF file in GIMP that I get an image preview, but not with Adobe PS?
    You've been blaming this on Apple since CS6 and over the versions I've grown to really resent your response on this forum.
    Why does GIMP, a free program save thumbnails correctly but the most expensive image editing program cannot?
    I'd at least like an answer to the GIMP question. Why does it work and PS does not?

  • Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

    Hello,
    I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
    The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
    So where is the error in it?
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Amar

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Preview in Finder not loading. All my images have the Preview icon instead!

    Hi,
    anybody experiencing the same problem as me?
    All of a sudden my preview in finder doesn't work and all my picture preview icons became the "Preview" icon itself!
    Here is how it looks like.. : http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3414/picture37.png
    Does anybody know how to get it back to normal because it is such a hassle to click on every single photo to find the picture that I want!
    Thanks!

    Sounds like your LaunchServices database has gotten corrupted. Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this one-line command into it, hit the return key, and restart.
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
    That should fix the problem.
