dbengali Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Is there a way to get media thumbnails to appear for mp4 files in the media window? I can see them for mov and still image files, but most of the time we render to mp4 due to easier support for more file specs, and it is difficult to work without being able to see thumbnail previews. any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 This will be solved in an upcoming version of WATCHOUT. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted January 12, 2015 Moderator Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 In the meantime, to answer your original question ... "Is there a way to get media thumbnails to appear for mp4 files in the media window?" the answer is yes*. * via a cumbersome workaround. Bring the mp4 into watchout via the Video Proxy in the Media menu. You must manually enter resolution (dimensions) and duration, but you get the option to make your own thumbnail and select it with the Thumbnail Choose function. And the thumbnail can be either a still or a movie. For example, for a 4k movie you could render a 1/16 scale thumbnail that would not bog down a production notebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
