    How do I reset /re-generate all thumbnails for RED and BLUE?
    When I generated them the lower thirds came out funny looking. I suspect it may have something to with the resolution of the source image for the thumbnail. The actual video from Vegas was HD 1080p, but the project settings for RED were SD 480p.

    I uninstalled RED and re-installed thinking it would refresh the thumbnails to their default blank state, but no. They are still there. I clicked to generate them “again”, and it just resumed were it left off. How can I RESET all the thumbnails and generate fresh ones?

    Thanks.

    Happy Seasoned Holiday Xmas Greetings and Peace on Earth. 🙂

    Yes, the trick to enable the Generate Thumbnail button is to click on the Library Browser window to bring it forward and then hit “u” on the keyboard (for un-generate). The button will become enabled and you can rebuild thumbnails again. This started as a testing aid and never got documented for customers but now I see that it could be a useful feature. Hope this works for you.
