When I try to create a plugin thumbnail it always create a black image,has anyone else run into the same problem?Sometimes it happend with FL Studio,but in FL only a few plugins get this issue,but in Waveform, this happens on all plugins.Does anyone know how to solve that?thanks.

I've recently upgraded to 13.5.x and hadn't worked with it much yet, but I did notice some black plug-in thumbnails when I was doing some testing the other day. So it's not just you. OTOH, I've no idea why this is happening.

Unfortunately, this is a bug in the current version. Bug reports have been sent to the developers. We don't know when they are going to have this fixed, though. Sorry for the bad news.

To be fair Waveform is really stable right now, has there been any new betas come out? I can only see older betas on the website.

What is the point of having plugin thumbnails in Tracktion? They seem very hidden away. In Studio one you have nice list of plain in the browser each with its own thumbnail which makes it easy to identify and drag into the DAW. In Freestyle you also have that and also when a device is dragged in the thumbnail is used to represent it in the modular view. But in Tracktion the thumbnail browser is not very visible so I don't use it.

I may have misunderstood the original question. I was thinking about the plugins inserted into a channel, where as aMUSEd seems to be referring to something else.

They don't have thumbnails - but what I was saying is thumbnails would at least be more useful if they did - like I can in Freestyle

It seems to only work in the plugin selector.This is really confusing.So I think Waveform's browser need updates too,just like FL or Studio One or ... in fact,that's already a pretty common feature in other DAW

Yes I know - which I never use because it's mess with or without thumbnails - I refer to load plugins from the library menu or by drag and drop
