i used to have the first frame showing as a thumbnail but all of a sudden all
i get is a movie clip icon. I have checked all the settings but can not see
anything that looks out of place. anyone know how i can get this to change
back. it is really frustrating to have to open every clip to see what is on
it. Thanks Twodeezz
