Video thumbnails gallery - Setting parameter for starting time

Post by BD.NT »

"Video thumbnails gallery" should provide a setting for the starting time of sampling. Because lots of clips start with a pitch black frame, which makes the first thumbnail useless.

That could be useful if you can specify time for first video thumbnail as time in seconds or % of total runtime of the clip.

Great this has been added fixed. Took a while as I raised it 12 years ago, as an issue when it was first implemented.

Is it just me though or is this actually working? You now get 4 thumbnail snapshots instead of 3 and a black / blank clip. The issue appears to be now that you still only 3 unique clips in the thumbnails as the 1st and 3rd clip of the 4 are the same. Wanted to find out if just an issue for me, as a lot of the external codec decoders I have worked best with the 32 bit version of the program.
