Solution found for previews not playing in Bridge

Just a quick note about a problem that I've seen some people having:
If you have a problem getting previews of animation presets to play in Adobe Bridge, try enabling software rendering in Bridge. See "Use software rendering for previews".

> In previous versions of AE, you could bring up a web-help page that showed all the animations...how do I get there now?
It's gone.
> If the previews are embedded files, can I view them somewhere else (are they in my hard drive...if so, where)?
No. The previews are built into the animation preset files.
>If my QT player is encountering a problem as you and Mylenium state, how do I fix it?
I don't know. As I said, I am no Bridge expert. This seems like a question for the folks on the Bridge forum. Yes, I know that you said that they pointed you here, but this is an issue with a media player built into Bridge, and that is outside of the scope of After Effects.
If you want a better answer, I recommend contacting Adobe Technical Support:

Be sure to specify that it's a Bridge issue when you call, so that you get routed to the right folks.

  • .ffx and .aet previews/presets not playing in Bridge

    Asked this in the Bridge forum and it was suggested to ask here:
    I am running CS5.5 on a Mac (10.6.8) and when I want to preview an After Effects text animation preset or project template, Bridge opens and I can click through the various presets/templates, but when they play, there is no preview...only a playhead that moves when I click the play button and the file name:
    For example:
    I have the .ffx and .aet files on my hard drive where the installer put them.  Any thoughts as to why the previews don't show up in Bridge?
    I am new to Bridge and thus far only use it for this purpose...
    Thanks in advance.

  • Partial solution for iTunes not playing songs or playing partial songs

    Like a lot of other people, my iTunes (latest version 6.0.3.5 as well as previous versions), would refuse to play certain songs, or, would play only the first X seconds of a song.
    I had been thinking all along that the song was encoded correctly and now iTunes would not play it.
    Well it turns out that the iPod will not play it either, meaning that PLAYBACK was not the issue, but ENCODING.
    I have another computer on our home network...I encoded a CD with that computer (same version of iTunes), then transfered the files to the "broken" computer...with the newly encoded files from the other computer, the "broken" computer plays the songs perfectly.
    So anyway, the problem is with ENCODING, not PLAYBACK.
    Now I have to go back and re-encode about 30 CD's...the number of CD's I've encoded on the broken computer since the no-playback/partial-palyback issue first surfaced.
    We all still have a big problem here in figuring how to get the broken computers to encode correctly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error: No Logon Data found for Lotus Notes System

    Hi,
    I have created a lotus notes sytem and have configured the transport also.
    But even then i am not able to create appointment under collaboration.
    I get the error msg :
    <b>"No logon data found for the system 'system name' ".</b>
    And when i tried to change the <b>User Mapping</b> , it gives the error msg,
    " Error in accessing user mapping data for selected system"
    Pls help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi all,
    Here are a few solutions which may help you solve your problem
    1) Access the lotus system with its fully qualified hostname in the system credentials and in the Lotus transport as well.(Ping from portal side and Domino side to each other to check the connectivity as well as the heartbeat check i.e.Launch http://<hostname>:<port>/<servletDirectory>/CalendarServlet in the browser to check the connectivity)
    2) In the servlets.properties file,add the following(marked in bold)
    servlet.CalendarServlet.initArgs=saveperiod=50,width=7,AttachmentFolder= D:
    temp,useEmail=true,<b>debug=true,logResponse=true</b>
    This will help you find on the Lotus console what the possible error could be.
    3) Run the command 'load http' (coz the http protocol might not have been loaded) on the lotus console and restart the lous server.
    If this is the case then make the following entry in the notes.ini file.
    Against the list of ServerTasks add HTTP

    If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
    Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
    Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
    Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
    All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

  • HD RAM preview not playing in realtime through Blackmagic

    I've recently upgraded one of my company's Blackmagic Multibridge Pro NLEs to CS5:
    PROBLEM:
    AE CS5 does not play realtime RAM preview of HD1080 video when displayed through the Blackmagic video output (even as low as 1/8 resolution).
    INFO:
    1.) Lowering resolution (even down to 1/8) does not help.
    2.) Matching scale % to resolution % does not help.
    3.) Doing #s 1-3 in combination gets very close to realtime, but CS4 did not require all of this.
    4.) If I switch AE output to "computer monitor only" I get realtime.
    5.) SD comps played through Blackmagic output achieve realtime.
    In CS4, HD Blackmagic output WAS realtime.  I have made all  memory/multiprocessing settings match the CS4 configuration, but this  has not helped.
    Also, both AE and the Blackmagic driver are the most current version.  I have no desire to revert to CS4... Anyone have any ideas?

    To answer my own question:
    I lowered the project's color settings to 8 bits per channel--and now all HD RAM previewing (even at full resolution) seems to be playing back realtime!
    Hope this thread can be helpful to anyone else experiencing the same issue.

  • Solution found for T400 that will not shutdown after coming out of hibernatio​n or sleep mode

    I found out by removing the ThinkPad manager driver (not the ThinkPad power manager), this solves the problem when the T400 goes into Hibernation or standby/sleep mode, but does not completely shut down afterwards.
    Apparently there's some kind of conflict with Windows power manager version and Lenovo's ThinkPad manager driver.  I left the ThinkPad manager utility as is and that seems to work fine with Win7
    Hope this helps for those who have the same issue.

    Update:
    I had my laptop running on the AC adapter all day.
    Then I briefly unplugged it for 2 minutes to carry it to the conference room where I plugged it in again.
    Later I unplugged it to bring it back to my desk.
    As described in my original post, I was then unable to simply shut down my laptop - it did not shut down all the way, and I had to force it to turn off.
    I hope someone here can help me with this, it's a real pain in the neck...
    Thanks!

  • My iPad can not be found for preview.

    Hi,
    I just started to use iBook Author, but I can not find my iPad under device of preview on my Mac Book Air. The iBook on my iPad is updated to iBook 3, my iPad apprears in iTunes (also via Wi-Fi as suggested), but my iPad is still not there under preview.
    Thanks for any useful help/tipps!

    Is your iPad connected directly to a USB port on your Mac with the Apple cable?
    Don't use a USB hub or drive with a port.
    If so, and restarting both the computer and iPad doesn't help, use iBA's Share/Export menu to output an .ibooks file, then drag that to iTunes and sync your iPad.

  • AE Animation Presets/Templates previews not showing in Bridge

    I am running CS5.5 on a Mac (10.6.8) and when I want to preview a text animation preset or project template, Bridge opens and I can click through the various presets/templates, but when they play, there is no preview...only a playhead that moves and the file name:
    For example:
    I have the .ffx and .aet files on my hard drive where the installer put them.  Any thoughts as to why the previews don't show up in Bridge?

    Otherwise then selecting the file and with right mouse click select purge cache for selection from the pop up menu I have no clue.
    You might want to ask this question in the dedicated Adobe After Effects Forum, they might have a better insight for the ffx extension files:

  • Solution found for Flash Player

    The young generation found the solution for my problems. Just an other browser. Not IE but Firefox and FP is working!!Hope it stays that way!

    Madperson, thank you for your post. I have downgraded to 11.2 (it was hard to find), but if finally solved the problem. Cant understand how Adobe distributes a new version without checking this kind of compatibility. I had to clean some registry's data to downgrade and had problems with the old version available in Adobe's site. Had to search a different source and it is working now. Thanks again !!!

  • Solution found for Vista 64 Blue Screen Crash when  Itunes Sharing on.

    After days of trial and error, I found the problem with my Windows based machine crashing (Blue Screen, IRQL error) when ATV would access ITunes through sharing. FYI, The blue screen error looked like a TCP/IP error.
    The problem was with the AntiVirus software. I had to completly remove CA Security suite from my system. After removal, no problem to see library and share music, movies and pictures. Not sure what the conflict is, but apparently Itunes home sharing and Antivirus / Security software do not like each other.

    You're having trouble with the drivers for your ATI Radeon video card or display adapter, lord.
    If you've got a name brand PC and the video card or display adaptor came installed with the PC, head to the drivers and downloads page for your particular model of PC at the PC manufacturers website and try updating your video driver or display adaptor driver.
    If the PC is custom/home-built, or you've added the Radeon to the system yourself, head to the AMD support website (AMD now owns ATI) and look for updated drivers for your particular model of video card or display adaptor.
    If you're already up to date on your drivers, or updating didn't help with the BSOD, try heading into your Device manager and reinstalling your video drivers or Display adaptor drivers.
    Do any of those measures give you any relief?

  • ITunes Playlists:  Why is the new update for iTunes not playing whole playlists?

    Hi,
    All my music comes from my home network and works fine on my laptop, until I try to make a playlist.  The music plays fine until a certain point and then iTunes cannot locate the source files and an exclamation point pops up on the rest of the music I selected.
    If I then double click on the tracks with the exclamation point it finds the source file again, without me having to locate the file.  Very strange.
    Anyone with the same problem?  Or able to help?

  • Ram preview not playing from first frame

    Anyone else having problems with Ram preview playing back from a different spot in the timeline OTHER than the first frame? I have seen this happening consistently since the latest update (2014.2). I checked my preferences, and made sure nothing is accidentally selected to play from the last keyframe or something odd. But no. I am on a Mac Pro, running Yosemite, I googled this, and haven't seen anything. I haven't trashed my preferences yet, because I'm not sure it's a preference issue, and god...if I have to rebuild my render setting one more time...
    So to give you more detail.
    - I hit "0" on my number pad to launch a ram preview
    - It LOOKS like it's rendering each frame in order
    - When I hit "0" again to playback, it starts from a random location usually about 2 - 5 seconds from the beginning of the timeline.
    - It will loop back and then play from the start of the timeline.
    It's not using the current time indicator line or anything that would make sense. It's random, but near the start. I suspect it's pulling keyframe information from a nested pre-comp and using that, but there is not a keyframe in the comp I'm previewing.
    I also do not have the "From Current Time" checked box in the Ram Preview options, and there are 0 skip frames in that setting as well.
    If anyone has any ideas what this may be...I'd appreciate it.
