So, I am trying to make a thumbnail sheet and it always turns out like this. The program worked fine just a couple days ago. Why can this be?

Have no idea.
What are your Options/Settings?
Have you tried different engines?
What is written in Diag.log file?

I literally did not change any settings, just chose "Set 2" and that's it. This is with Crystal Engine , I did try both Codec-Dependent engines but those did not even work, showed me an error. (Although I don't have any codec packs installed right now.)
Diag.log just says:
Program started

Job is Started
File 1: [blah blah filename.mp4]

Program used to work just fine. I have Windows 10, installed the recent updates on Tuesday, I don't know if those might have anything to do with this.
I also recently updated my Nvidia driver and permanently disabled Windows Search because I was having 100% disk usage issues and thought that might be a reason. Turned out it was due to a HDD driver (this issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... evices-wit).

I'm not sure if any of these might have anything to do with the problem, I'm just listing the changes I did in the past couple of days....

The odd thing is if I try making thumbnails from WMV or AVI, the sheet does contain 2 thumbnails but the rest is blank!

Never faced such an issue before.
Is it possible that your version is cracked?

This is weird, now it works with Engine 2 at least. Did everything as it should. Still no luck with Crystal Engine though and even when I choose the "Output each frame capture to a separate output file" (which I often use) it's not doing it, doesn't even produce separate blank pictures or anything. Engine 2 however everything works perfectly.

Not a cracked version btw, downloaded it right from the website. (Haven't upgraded yet so I couldn't test Ultimate Engine)

Ok, so I still had performance issues on my computer, I ended up completely reinstalling Windows 10. I also updated it after so I have a clean install but with all the latest updates. I downloaded the program and the Crystal engine still put out a blank (or sometimes mostly blank) sheet. The program used to work just fine for me so my guess would be that this might have something to do with a Windows update? Since that's when the issue appeared.

Anyways, since I bought the Silver status, I could try the Ultimate engine and that one works perfectly, I'll be using that :)

Maybe other people will pop up later having issues with the Crystal engine, maybe not and this is just some unusual problem specific to me....
