Thumbnail Options in Card View Layout
In Card View layout, you can display a series of small images of an asset (thumbnails, in a MediaCentral Asset Management context, these are also referred to as keyframes).
• If a track or stratum is selected, thumbnails associated with each marker or restriction resp. thumbnails for each stratum segment are shown.
• If the Thumbnails layer is selected, exclusively the thumbnails of the asset are shown.
Use the turn-down arrow beneath the Card view button to adjust the thumbnails display in different arrangements.
Time-Based
Shows the first frame of the asset, the last frame of the asset, and a frame at the frequency that you choose. The exact frame displayed depends on the type of timecode (drop-frame, non-drop frame, 24 fps, and so on). Timecodes are displayed at the bottom of each thumbnail in Master timecode format.
Use the turn-down arrow beneath the Card view button to open a menu to select one of the following frequencies:
• one frame every 10 seconds (default setting)
• one frame every 1 minute.
• one frame every 5 minutes
• one frame every 10 minutes
The selected frequency is shown to the right of the Time option in the menu.
Marker-Based
Shows any frame with one or more markers or restrictions (Production Management assets) or any thumbnail that is extracted by the Asset Management Video Analysis or a user in Asset Management Cataloger. You can adjust the quantity by applying a marker-based filter. Use the turn-down arrow beneath the Card view button to open a menu to select one or more of the predefined frequencies.
