Why are all of my .mov files tinted blue in PM Plus?

All of my .mov files are tinted blue in PM Plus although they are not tinted blue anywhere else.

It’s a known problem, please see this thread:

I have also posted builds that contain the fix for this issue: https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=16407.msg80474#msg80474

An official release is coming soon, but so far a few folks have downloaded those builds and have not reported any issues with them, and no news is typically good news, but do heed my disclaimers on that post.

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.

Feedback:
I haven't found any problems yet, but I imagine there are many tests and Camerabits has more tests than I can imagine. In regards to the blue tinted movies it is important to totally wipe the cache off the disk as the old blue tinted thumbnails will stick around even with the new version.  The settings menu discusses the thumbnails under the file cache menu, but that but clearing that is insufficient. There is also a render cash, perhaps clearing the render cash, especially the HEIC cash would clear out the tinted movie thumbnails.

But what I did after finding out the file cache was insufficient to get rid of existing tinted movie thumbnails, I just deleted everything in the Photo mechanic cache. Then any old thumbnails were gone and p.m. generated new thumbnails correctly.
