The Problem

Windows Explorer Wasn't Built for Video Professionals

Generic Icons Everywhere

Windows shows the same boring icon for every video file. Finding the right clip means opening files one by one.

No 10-bit Support

Modern cameras shoot in 10-bit HEVC, Sony Raw, ProRes. Windows can't preview these formats natively.

Wasted Time

Opening files in your NLE just to see which clip is which kills your workflow and creative momentum.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We support 20+ video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, WMV, M4V, ProRes (422 HQ, 4444), DNxHD/DNxHR, HEVC/H.265 (including 10-bit Main10), VP9 Profile 2, AV1, Sony Raw (.r3d), and MXF. Basically, if FFmpeg can decode it, we can thumbnail it.

Yes! Full support for 10-bit video is one of our core features. This includes HEVC Main10, VP9 Profile 2, Sony Raw formats, ProRes, and other professional 10-bit codecs. The thumbnails are automatically converted to 8-bit for display in Windows Explorer.

Installation is simple: download the MSI installer, run it, enter your license key, and you're done. The installer automatically registers the thumbnail handler with Windows and associates it with all supported video formats. Windows Explorer will immediately start showing video thumbnails.

Yes. The MSI is digitally signed by RuptureWare, a verified Windows publisher. You'll see RuptureWare listed as the trusted publisher during install, and the signature keeps the package tamper-resistant.

No. The thumbnail handler only runs when Windows Explorer needs to display a video thumbnail, and it uses FFmpeg's highly optimized decoder with hardware acceleration. Thumbnails are cached by Windows, so each video is only processed once. The performance impact is minimal.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) are fully supported. The thumbnail handler integrates directly with Windows Explorer's shell extension system and works with all Windows themes and viewing modes.

Yes! Your license allows unlimited installations on your own Windows computers. Whether you have a desktop workstation and a laptop, or multiple editing stations, one license covers all your personal machines.

Email support is included with your purchase. We typically respond within 24 hours on business days. Common issues are usually related to Windows thumbnail cache settings, which we can help you troubleshoot quickly.
