Ability in Bridge CS5 to categorize selections for output?

I've been playing around with the Collections, Smart Collections, and Stack features, and none of these seem to do what I want. I'm trying to create a Web Gallery slideshow with the images in a specific order according to groups. I separated the images into groups of about 30 each in separate folders. But I cannot seem to create selections across folders. And turning on Sort Manually doesn't prevent the groups from becoming mixed up when I pull them into a Collection. The only method that seems to work is renaming the images themselves with specific prefixes and then sorting by name. Any suggestions?

How can I import / copy these into Bridge CS6 so I don't have to recreate them manually?
A bit unsure about your request because you both mention Bridge CS 6. Do you mean separate systems or computers?
Anyway, the template that you have saved are stored in the user library (by default hidden per MacOSX 10.7, in Finder use menu Go with option to reveal this library)
The path:
User (your username)/Library/ Application Support / Adobe / Bridge CS6 / Adobe Output Module / UserTemplate/ ContactSheet. In this folder are the templates you have custom created and saved.
Just copy them to the same location of the new set up and restart Bridge. Then they should appear agin in the list of custom templates in AOM.

  • 'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G)  is selected for output.  Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure.  Ideas????

    Thank you for the replies.
    Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>>   > II   <<I,   plus volume slider)  on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
    All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged.  When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
    Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

  • Bridge CC, unsuccessful manual installation for output module.

    I have manually installed the Adobe Output Module for Bridge CC.  I followed EVERY STEP in the directions from http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    After installation, I am receiving the "I/O error".  I have googled this error, and it appears that many are having this same issue, and no one has a solution to fix the problem.  I am currently taking an online graphics course, and this first assignment should only take 1 hour...I am now up to 8 hours of trying to troubleshoot this and figure this out...and I'm wasting my Labor Day.  I'm so frustrated and almost to the point of canceling my Creative Cloud membership AND my online class since I'm already running into problems with Assignment #1.  I do have the CS3 program, but I do not want to go through this class with such an outdated program. 
    Does Adobe know if they are working to fix this problem, or if it will ever be fixed?  If they are in the process of fixing it, do they know approximately how long it will take?  Can someone please offer a solution or shine some light on the topic.  I am working on a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Thank you!

    No, I can not get older versions.  I would have to pay $999 for CS6
    This is not true, you should be able to download CS6 for free with your CC subscription:
    From the FAQ of CC:
    Do Creative Cloud members have access to previous versions of Creative Cloud apps?
    Yes. Creative Cloud paid members have access to a select set of archived versions of the desktop apps. Starting with CS6, select versions of each of the desktop creative apps will be archived and available for download. Archived versions are provided "as is" and are not updated to work with the latest hardware and software platforms.
    You just have to dig a bit deeper in the Creative Cloud download center.
    Try this link:
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/photoshop
    Or visit the Creative cloud page and look for the download center, select Photoshop icon and from this page you can select either CC or CS6

  • Still no multiple selection for output destination?

    Selecting multiple transcodes and clicking the settings dropdown changes the settings for all the transcodes at once (you don't have to do it individually for every transcode). Why can't I do the same with the output destination? Apple Compressor has done this for years and it is the one function I was hoping would be added to media encoder in cs6. Can we expect this basic functionality anytime soon? 

    Thank you Dima, I have used both of those methods to do batch transcodes with a specific output folder and they certainly work but they are fairly clunky workarounds for a simple process.
    I think most perplexing is the idea that transcoding serves the express purpose of preparing files for use in different contexts which by and large is how the idea of folders is presented to computer users on a daily basis. Think of your Music, Photos, and My Documents folders. So it requires a backward step in logic to assume that someone would want to put files that have had their intended use changed into the same mental category as the unchanged files.
    Please don't mistake my criticism for anything but wanting Media Encoder to be a better product for everyone. I just don't want to have to add caveats and workarounds when I'm preaching the ease of use and functionality of the programs in the Adobe Creative Suite!

  • Bridge CS5 won't launch

    I just installed Master Collection CS5. All software runs OK,  except Bridge. It just quits without starting with usual win7's "Adobe  Bridge CS5 has stopped working". Windows 7 64bit.

    Bridge CS5 wouldn't launch for me either.
    It did launch from Photoshop CS5. And after that re-launches worked, even if it was not running in the background.
    I tried {control} + click on the Bridge icon... nothing came up.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get back PHOTOSHOP TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?

    I used the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5 all the time.  I upgraded my InDesign to CS5.5 and with it I was automatically upgraded to Bridge CS5.1 but now ther is no longer a PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS.  When I try to open the older Bridge CS5, it automatically opens CS5.1.  How can I get back the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?
    Thanks for any information you might provide.

    How can I get back the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?
    It seems related to the different versions and their start up scripts. First check Bridge Preferences Start Up Scripts has a PS script showing and see if the checkmark in front is checked. If not you have to copy the old script in the new location. Not sure if this works and without knowing if you have a Mac or Windows. For a Mac there is library at root level (so not in the user account).
    Here is the path: HD/Library/ Application Support/ Adobe / Start Up scripts. You probably have two folders, one called CS5 and one called CS5.5. Try to copy (copy, not move) the Photoshop script to the CS5.5 folder and try if that works. Theoretically Bridge 4.1 (that comes with CS5.5 - yes it is a bit confusing) should recognize the scripts. And basically Bridge 4 (CS5) and Bridge 4.1 (CS5.5) are the same. But If you set Bridge 4.0 it will probably not recognize the new InDesign start up scripts.

  • Regarding Bridge CS5 Keyword transfer

    Hi all,
    I am using an iMAC, running 10.7.2.
    I am getting a new iMAC and would like to know how to find and transfer the Metadata/Keywords from one system to another?
    Many thanks,
    HD

    how to find and transfer the Metadata/Keywords from one system to another?
    You can use the little icons for wing menu (top right in both panels) and choose export, save it to a proper place you can copy to the new iMac and choose import on your new machine.
    By default the user library in OSX Lion is hidden but is easy to retrieve it (do a google search if you haven't done already so).
    In the user library are all your customized settings.
    username/library/application support/ Adobe.
    inhere:
    Bridge CS5 folder containing keyword list, output module user templates, workspaces and specified batch rename settings
    XMP folder containing your metadata templates.
    Also be sure to have saved your PS custom settings (actions, tools, brushes etc.)
    In the same given path as before there is folder called Adobe Photoshop CS5 and this contains the folder presets, that should have your custom saved settings in it.

  • Why Bridge CS5.5 is opened and not CS6 is opened for non admin user?

    Hi,
    I have CS5.5 updated to CS6 on my computer but CS5.5 version of Bridge is opened instead of CS6. This happens when I try to open CS6 version of Bridge by  using the CS6 icon, selecting CS6 version from the program list of Windows 7 and selecting the CS6 version from file manager. I did a quick check to try other programs and e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator start with CS6 version.
    My user account doesn't have the admin rights for the computer. When using on the same PC with admin account Bridge CS6 version is started as expected. Therefore this has something to do with admin rights. Therefore please instruct how to do the set up for user not having administrator rights.

    Hi,
    Just to update on the solution on this in case somebody else encounters this issue and searches the discussions for the solution.
    The reason for this was that in the Bridge CS5 advanced preferences it was set to start Bridge CS5 at logon automatically. Removing that solved the issue.
    My thanks to the Adobe support on pointing this one.
    Br, Juha

  • Setting Bridge CS5 to run Photoshop x32 for Tools

    How can I set Bridge CS5 to call on the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 for commands from the Tools menu instead of the 64 bit version? I have it set to open files into the 32 bit version, this is just for the scripted actions in the Tools menu.

    I have a question about this opening from bridge/ photoshop thing.
    So let me get this straight, if I'm in bridge and I select an image it will open ACR in 32 bit mode. If that's true I can understand that. Here's the problem, how do I open ACR from photoshop with a raw image I have selected from photoshop, type in the whole file name and path by hand? Do I open bridge from photoshop and then select my image and that opens ACR in 64 bit method?
    I just don't understand the method  or why it makes any real difference.

  • Contact sheet 2 for bridge CS5

    Contact Sheet 2 for Bridge has disappear from Bridge CS 5. Does someone know where I can get the plugin? Right know I have to go back to Bridge CS4 which is pretty annoying in my process. Thanks

    Contact Sheet 2 for Bridge has disappear from Bridge CS 5. Does someone know
    where I can get the plugin? Right know I have to go back to Bridge CS4 which
    is pretty annoying in my process. Thanks
    It did not disappear from CS5 but already from CS4 and has been replaced
    with the Output Module.
    Only downside of the Output Module is you can only save them as a PDF file
    but for the rest you have far more options to create your own customized
    template (and in CS5 save this templates) for far more superior contact
    sheets.
    You did already placed the old contact script in the CS4 edition by
    yourself. There is a workaround to get it again in CS5 only you have to use
    PSCS5 in 32-bit mode because the old and long ago discontinued Contact Sheet
    script is not compatible with the 64 bit mode PSCS5 is written in.
    Find your CS4 Contactsheet plugin (Apllications / PSCS4 / Plug-ins/Automate/
    ContactSheetII.plugin) and copy this to the same path in CS5
    Wiith PSCS5 closed select the application icon and choose get info. Inhere
    put a checkmark in front of 'start in 32 bit mode'.
    See also this Knowledge base article:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
    To be honest, I was not pleased either first time they dropped
    ContactSheetII. But after heaving explored the Output Module in Bridge and
    getting used to it's nice options I really don't want to go back to the old
    script...

  • No Playback for .m2ts in Adobe Bridge CS5

    I recently upgraded to the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 suite. I have thousands of m2ts files to sift through. I would really like to be able to preview them in Adobe Bridge CS5. I can't right now. The most recent update (4.0.4) did not fix this bug for .m2ts files. Any chance it will be fixed soon?

    That thread was marked as answered and it seems to have fixed the issue for certain types of files. I am opening a new thread just hoping to get a response from Adobe on timing. I assume they are going to enable playback in bridge for m2ts files at some point. I am just wondering how long it's going to be.

  • No thumbnails for some .mov files Bridge CS5

    I'm using Bridge CS5 to organise some video which has been digitised from a sony camera in File Maker Pro X. My operating system is Mac OS X. I have Quicktime player 10.1 and have just checked for updates.
    Some of my .mov files show thumbnails which can be watched in Bridge. Other folders just show the thumbnails as black rectangles - these can be watched in a pop up window but not directly in the Bridge preview panel.
    The files were all digitised in the same way and recorded on the same camera so should be the same format.
    After looking at discussions on here I have tried updating QuickTime and clearing the cache but no dice.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Claire

    That is odd that if it was recorded on same camera they are different.  I do know that the thumbnail is a complex issue.  A little foggy on this as it has been awhile, but if you get a black thumb it is the way the marker of the first frame is recorded.  In some cases this shows a black frame.  Hope this gives you some clue to do a web search for the real answer.

  • CS6 64 bit (for windows) installation keeps telling me to shut down Bridge CS5 which isn't running.

    I've checked the Windows 7 Task Manager and Bridge CS5 does not appear.  Can someone help with what I'm to do so I can finish the install?

    This error occurs when Adobe Bridge is configured to start at login, so it is running in the background.

  • Bridge cs5 won't display controls for output for pdf or web

    hi, selected some images to create a contact sheet, but when i clicked on "output" nothing appeared in the window, as if this module didn't launch.  any suggestions for a reset?  i'm at a college, so it will be a pain if i have to reistall software (IT guy has to do it).  nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls.  any help appreciated.
    mark

    nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls.  any help
    appreciated.
    In general you don't need to reinstall at first trouble. A restart holding
    down option key and from the pop up menu resets all preferences to default
    settings including the default workspaces.
    But could you be a little more specific about your workflow, f.i. on what
    output you are clicking for the module (the default workspace, the icon or
    menu view-workspace-output) And does that window look as output containing
    at least the content panel, preview panel and output panel with all its
    settings (document-lay out-overlays-header etc).
    Maybe you can provide a screenshot of what you are seeing when in output?

  • Bridge CS5 won't start.....but it does for a 'new' user

    Newly installed CS5.
    Bridge doesn't start. Error message: "You can't open the application Adobe Bridge CS5 because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
    It won't open standalone, won't open from within Photoshop. The 'mini-bridge' in Photoshop starts to work until it needs to access Bridge and then....spins forever.
    Created new user and....Bridge opens fine.
    Ideas?
