Can't see preview thumbnail on mp4 files.

Hi!


I was moving some files from my external hdd to my main hdd. And when I am looking on the mp4 files I can not see the thumbnail on the file. Some files I can see the preview thumbnail and some I can not. I have turned on "show preview" or whatever it's called. Any thoughts?

Hello,


Macintosh generates thumbnails based on the primary frame of a video file. Do the video files start with a black first frame?
