I'm trying to create thumbnails for an HD video from the command line with the ultimate engine, but the console reports "Ultimate engine failed". When I check the diag.log file it shows no error, but the diag_bak.log shows this:

[BLACK] [10:25:42 AM] .... Black frame is detected, trying to substitute

When I change to the crystal codecs the thumbnail is created as expected. Creating thumbnails with the ultimate engine from the GUI also works.

How can I get the CLI to work? The whole point of buying this program was to use it from the command line with the faster engine.

Console logs are named a bit different "Diag_console.log" and are placed into "Logs" folder.

Also please make sure your are using the latest version of VTM 9.1.0.0.

None of the logs in that folder provide additional info aside from the fact that the Ultimate engine failed.

I just downloaded the program Friday so I'm up to date.

Hello.

What is your command line string? Please share an example.

Also you can:
1) Try to process other files. Probably the problem is in particular files.
2) Try to set "try substituting for any color frames" checkbox OFF in Environment window.

It appears that it might have been that particular video which was giving me trouble. In any event, the command line I use in a batch file is:
I create it this way to save me the trouble of having to add the file name manually each time.
