View Full Version : No more Thumbnails Bob Safay June 25th, 2011, 09:45 AM Hi, I recently upgraded to Vegas 10.0d. Now, when capturing video clips I no longer have thumbnails of the captured clips. Instead I get an icon that looks like a bit of old movie film with a discription of the clip. I have tried every setting I can think of and cannot get the thumbnails to show up. Any advise?

Jeff Harper June 25th, 2011, 12:20 PM Don't know why they set it to the default setting that they choose, I don't care for it at all. I imagine it's a tad easier on the PC, but can it really make that much difference? Mike Kujbida June 25th, 2011, 05:48 PM Jeff, I have no idea either. I personally switch it back immediately as I like it that way. As I recall, it was changed in Pro 9 and needless to say, there were a lot of puzzled users when they first fired it up. Those who actually read the manual or the readme notes weren't confused so I guess it does pay to RTFM once in a while :) Gerald Webb June 25th, 2011, 11:08 PM FWIW, They prob were just going the way of the other NLE's, Avid and Premiere only have one thumb at the beginning of each clip, Im not near my Mac but I think Final Cut is the same too. I like lots of thumbs too, would like to know if it does add any effort to the system to display it though.

If so, there is an icon at the top of the media assets pane which will change the view from icons with details,list or thumbnails. I'm away from home so I can't open up Vegas, sorry. Bob Safay June 27th, 2011, 12:03 PM Guys, I have tried all these and still no thumbnail. Maybe I have to live with this till the next version. Bob Mike Kujbida June 27th, 2011, 12:33 PM Bob, out of curiosity, what type of files are these? Bob Safay June 28th, 2011, 06:15 AM Mike, it happens when I capture video from my deck to Vegas. I have tried all the known settings including the ones menthioned above and yet I cannot capture video and have them appear as video thumbnails. Bob Mike Kujbida June 28th, 2011, 11:31 AM Bob, are they DV or HDV files? Bob Safay June 29th, 2011, 08:49 AM DV files, just like I have been doing since version 5.0 Bob |
