I've come across this with Movie Studio and usually fix it by this strange procedure.

Drag an errant clip from media pane to the timeline.
Deselect it so it's not highlighted
'Undo' to remove it

My thumbs then usually correct themselves!

Yeah.... Sounds like the ole Thumbnail Cache getting constipated bug. In the recent past I’ve found that “flushing-out” the Thumbnail Cache folder got me “regular” again. The result is that the Thumbs get recreated, correctly.

Do a Search hereabouts for cleaning Thumbnail cache. There was and maybe still is a 255 limit on Thumbnails.

Grazie gives a link to a thread with the solution from Chris Dolan (SCS) here. If you don't want go through that route, see the same solution from an erstwhile SCS ForumAdmin here. (Delete the contents of the folder)

Seems like deleting the Media Pool Thumbnails folder was just the ex-lax it needed for constipation.

THANKS!!!!!

"Another easier approach would be to delete your thumbnail cache folder (AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas 12.0\Media Pool Thumbnails), restart Vegas and then look in Project Media. If the track that can't be read is video, as opposed to audio, then you'll have media with a blank-white thumbnail."
