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.

Thumbnails won't show in Organizer

I have loaded quite a few of my video clips into the organizer. I can see they are there, but they have not thumbnail image. So it's difficult for me to tell which video is which. I can click on them individually to see what the image is, but that is not efficient at all! I cannot tell quickly at a glance what video is what.
I have loaded the latest Quicktime on my computer.
Any other suggestions?

Your first try at "Update Thumbnail" gave great results. However, the results with the next other five was not so great. In trying to explore the why, do you see any difference in the files, that is, was the first file from one camera and the other from a different camera?
There are 2 ways to get thumbnails into the Elements Organizer.
a. Elements Organizer and its File Menu/Get Photos and Videos/from Files and Folders
and
b. Just import the file into Premiere Elements workspace with Premiere Elements Add Media/ and get the file to the Timeline. When you do that, automatically a copy is placed in the Elements Organizer as a thumbnail there.
Your iPhone5 and iPod Touch 4th generation videos should be going into your Elements Organizer (one way or the other). So, from the point of view of video formats causing the issue, the why is not obvious.
When you import video into a Premiere Elements project, automatically a copy of that video is included in the Elements Organizer. Have you tried that route to get the videos into the Elements Organizer rather than importing the videos into the Elements Organizer first?
So, when I wrote the above in a prior post, I wanted to see if "a" and "b" were giving you the same result when you wanted to view file thumbnail(s) in the Elements Organizer.
Let us be in sync on the above.
We could explore creating a new catalog. How much content do you have in the present one? But, we can go into detail on that at whatever level you feel comfortable with.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Video player won't display video after OS update

Just installed new OS update on my Z30. Video player will not display video but I have audio

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Hmmm..."just installed"...hmmm...how long ago please? And have you conducted several reboots since, and let it "settle" for about 48 hours?
Also, "new OS update"...can you be more specific please? Each user is separately controlled (usually by their own carrier) as to what OS they receive, so "new" for one may not be the same version as "new" for another.
Let us know.

Thumbnails do not display in Organizer unless zoomed in

iin organizer, can't open thumbnails, only look like egg timers, unless I only zoom high and open one at a time?' How do I fix this ?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Try building the thumbnail cache again. This can be done through:-
1) File->Catalogs
Catalog manager would open up
2) Select the catalog and click Repair
A message box would open up
3) Select option to Re-index Visual Similarity data and click Repair anyway
This option will re-build the thumbnails and it would take time to re-build thumbnails depending on number of images.

Video IPOD won't display songs, albums, playlists!

Video Thumbnails

Hi all,
OK, I have a website that allows my client to upload images
and movie files to document the progress of their projects. My
client has asked me if thumbnails could be created for the video
file during the upload process like what happens with the normal
photos. So the video thumbnails could be displayed inline with the
images.but with an icon below it indicating that its a video file.
So my question is. Is there a way of dynamically creating a
thumbnail of the video file showing the first frame of the video.
Any help would be fantastic.
Kind regards
Richard McKenna

Was a solution ever found for this? I need to do the same
thing (show 1 video playing and several additional ones as
thumbnails that are clickable to change the one that is currently
playing). Files for videos would be in .wmv and .mpeg
formats

How to display video thumbnails in Elements Organizer 8?

I have a basic problem with Elements Organizer 8 and I'm really hoping someone can help me...
I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate on an Alienware Dimension AURORA_ALX (i7 975 @ 3.33Ghz) with 9Gb RAM. I've installed Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8. I've then transferred video clips from my Sony HDR-SR12E and now want to manage them effectively using Premiere Elements 8. The problem I'm having is that Elements Organizer 8 isn't showing any thumbnails for the video clips I've imported (I don't have the same problem with photo files - the thumbnails for these display correctly). Windows 7 has no difficulty with showing the thumbnails when I open the folder containing the video clips, so this appears to be an issue with the Adobe software I'm using.
I've looked through the manual and other online resources - no joy.
I've attached a file (Capture.jpg) that hopefully illustrates my problem.
Can anyone help?

Hi guys
I have to confess that I'm completely new to Premiere Elements.
Thank you very much for your technical input everyone - this is much appreciated.
Barb__O, I tried to follow your suggestion, and I'm pretty sure I got the steps right, but I still didn't have any luck. Perhaps I went wrong somewhere?
Also, based on the decent hardware specs I listed above, should I be expecting my computer to chomp through the auto-analyse stage? I know it's AVCHD footage but the process still seems to take forever.

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

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

It goes trough the place where you put youre dock conector in (on the bottom)
Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

Firefox won't display ANY videos, but Chrome/IE will.

It's all in the title really. FF won't display any videos. In Youtube, the screen is black, apart from the red "play" button in the middle. When I click play it says "an error has occurred". In any other video sites the video section is blank, white. I have uninstalled/reinstalled both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Firefox is also fully updated.

hello, yes, you'd have to uninstall flash from the windows control panel in windows7 (just diabling it in firefox won't work in this case). alternatively you could run the uninstaller-tool that adobe provides on its website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database? Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
Those are the two options to use.
Here's another fix you can try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

PSE8 Organizer won't display on monitor

I have a really strange problem. I have a new laptop running Windows 7. I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor (among other things) attached to it via a port replicator so I can use the laptop as a desktop (whatever happened to good old docking stations?!?). I have had all kinds of problems since installing PSE8, but this one baffels me.
When I start up the Organizer, either from a direct shortcut to PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe OR through the Welcome screen, Organizer starts (and appears in the task bar) but only displays on the laptop screen. It won't display on my monitor. Now it worked a couple of times but then stopped working.
I'm hoping there is a very simple solution!

Edit > Visibility was set to Show All Files. In Preferences, I unchecked all filter selections for Auto Analyze. No effect.
I have one folder with 3 .tiff files that PSE8 Organizer won't display. Trying to import the files and PSE8 says they are there but PSE8 cannot display them. No explanation. Windows Photo Viewer and Picasa have no problem displaying them.
I have deleted and made new catalogs with the same results for that folder. I cannot figure out what is wrong with these files. All other applications have no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

PSE8 Organizer won't display new files

After copying photo files into a folder, I opened PSE8 Organizer and imported the files. PSE8 reported importing 578 photos. I clicked to Show ALL. Only the original 24 photos in the folder are displayed.
I have tried rebuilding the catalog, and deleting and creating a new catalog. Nothing seems to work. The rebuilding of the catalog reported the files are there and do not need to be imported. But PSE8 still won't display any but the original 24 files.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hp 110-a04 won't display video when my 5670 is plugged in.

So here's the dealio. Bought a myself an hp 110-a04, threw in the sapphire 5670, doesn't display anything and I get a 6 long beeps beep code. Kill me.
So, I take out the original PSU (it's only 180 watts), throw in a 400 watt power supply, toss in the GPU aaaaannnnnnd... still won't display anything and the beep code is back (in the old PC it was in worked fine with the 250 watt psu).
The computer works perfectly fine without the card, boots up, actaully displays stuff when plugged by VGA. Why it won't display anything is absolutely beyond me. Everything is hooked up to the new PSU, it's just that nothing works with that graphics card in.
Halp me.

Hello @HAIRSHAMENSTUFF,
I understand that you are having issues getting the sapphire 5670 to work with your HP 110-a04 Desktop PC. I suspect that you will have to enable legacy devices in your BIOS. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the BIOS for your computer to provide you with step by step instructions, but if you tap F10 on startup and enter the BIOS you can browse through until you find a way of enabling legacy support or mode.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
