Can't view a stacked captured frame from video

[lesliel20598172]

I have selected and captured a frame from a video, and can see there is now a "stack" (says 1 of 2 in top left corner), but I am not able to view the jpg.  I've tried expanding the stack, but it doesn't show me anything except the original video.

Check your sort order

Say the video is a .mpg, JPEG of course .jpg, JPEG may be sorted way to the left in filmstrip.

Thanks for your suggestion, but this doesn't help.  I only have one video in the filmstrip.  I can't find, or even see the JPEG "under" the video.

Outside of LrC, using your OS file manager, look at the folder in question, see if a JPEG exists

[lesliel20598172]

Yes! They are outside LrC. Do I have to import them? Seems silly.

[GoldingD]

How about a screenshot of that stack.

Both collapsed stack, and attempted expanded stack.

Also consider unstack.

If the JPEG is in the stack, then it should not need an additional import.

I don't know if this is a bug, but when I viewed my videos in the folder I put them in (not looking at them in "Last Import"), the problem went away and I was able to expand the stack and see the JPEGs.

How was the frame captured?

You have a Library filter applied that's hiding the frame, e.g. you're currently filtering for video only.  Make sure the menu item Library > Enable Filters is unchecked. (And yes, there's a keyboard shortcut for that, which you can see in the Library menu.)

No library filter, but problem went away when I viewed my videos in the folder I created for them.  Only had the problem in the "Last/Most Recent Import" folder.

"Only had the problem in the "Last/Most Recent Import" folder."

Glad you got it resolved. I forgot about built-in collections like Previous Import. 

LR's stacking has lots of confusing rough edges. Here's what the Help says:

Note: Lightroom Classic stacks the capture frame with the video clip. The stack is only visible when viewing All Photographs or the folder containing the clip. If you captured the frame while in a collection, the frame will be added to the collection but the stack will only be visible when in All Photographs or the containing folder. Neither the frame nor the stack will be visible when viewing smart collections, published collections, Quick Collection, Previous Import, or other built-in collections.
