Color is bad for all movie (MOV) contact sheet previews
« on: October 27, 2024, 12:17:16 AM »
Hey guys,

I've searched the Forum to no avail.  Is there a setting I'm missing?  Color for previews of my MOV files (iPhone, Fuji XT-4, etc.) all appear as though they were shot on negative film.  The actual movie will play fine... it's just the contact sheet preview/thumb.

Thanks,
Craig

We have posted a Release Candidate build for Photo Mechanic 6 that should resolve the issues with video thumbnails (among other fixes). Please go to https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=16695.0 for links to the build and more information along with release notes.

 ;D Video Thumbs working well, once again.  Thank you PM for going the extra mile in fixing this - even as you press into a new subscription business model. 

Again you are proving who's side you are on... the photographer's.

I just downloaded Version 6.0, build 7269 (b13242a). No change in .mov files for me. Canon R5 Mark II and iPhone 14. Using Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1.

I tried Refresh and Rescan. If this should be working please let me know other things to do to fix.

Empty your Render Cache. Close all Contact Sheet tabs.

Go to Photo Mechanic's Preferences, then go to the Render Cache section, then click 'Empty Now'. Then restart Photo Mechanic.
