  • Wrong thumbnail being displayed

    Posted by Paul Gregory on October 10, 2010 at 6:52 am

    I keep forgetting to ask this question. Why does the preview window not always reflect the clip that you have selected? By that I mean I see the clips in the work area & thumbnails on them. Many times I might want to work on say the 5th clip & double click on it & the 4th clip will open. This is because the thumbnail appears to have been taken from the last frame of the previous clip. Why does this happen & can I change this?

    Thanks in advance

    I am not seeing this behavior. When I double-click an event I get a timeline selected of the entire event and the first frame of that event shows in the preview.

    I have it that when I click on the pancrop icon that the pan crop window does not correspond until I move the keyframe slider.

    I regularly record long sequences such as concerts, and may have some advice to offer:

    I have observed this behaviour when scene detection has been enabled during the capture process from tape. I have also experienced audio drop outs of 1-2 frames between scenes when joining those scenes together on the timeline. When I do not perform scene detection during tape capturing i.e. capture it as a continuous stream, I do not see these drop outs or thumbnail issues.

    I also use an AVCHD hard disk camcorder as my safety cam and I have observed similar behaviour with my footage. Unfortunately, my camera automatically creates 2 gb files (does not stream continuously), and it is at the join points I notice 1 or 2 dropped frames or frames carried forward/backwards. The way I work around this is to crop the footage by 1 or 2 frames. It can get quite cumbersome with 20 or 30 clips, and causes syncing headaches every 15 minutes or so when trying to do a multicam edit, but I have been unable to find a more elegant solution.

    Hope this helps.
