ADobe Bridge show Quicktime icon

When viewing clips stored on my external drive in the view panel all I see is the Quicktime icon and no obvious way to play them.
1. How do I change the Quicktime icon to a thumbnail view?
2. How do I view them?
The clip is HDV footage.
Thanks
Kent

I didn't intentionally convert it to Quicktime so I can't answer. I am a rookie and all this conversion is Greek to me.
Enjoy

My RAW images are becoming corrupt when opening with Adobe Bridge, showing very bright colours.

Windows Vista, Canon 20d, Dell PC.
Happens to older images not new ones.
Have a raw thumbnail codex installed.
Any help much apreciated
Example attached.
It isn't happening to all images though:

The raw codec doesn't affect Bridge/ACR, only Windows Explorer and applications which use the codec, like Photo Gallery.
The corruption you show is pretty extreme. It's usually the sort of thing you get with a corrupt display profile (Bridge is fully colour-managed), but if that was the case, I would expect it to happen with all of your photos, not just some.
You show the Preview panel is corrupted, but what about full-screen and Camera Raw previews?
What happens if you reset an image to camera raw defaults, with bog-standard settings and an Adobe Camera Profile?
The only other obvious problem I can think of is graphics drivers.
Which versions of Bridge and Camera Raw are you using?

Adobe Bridge - White balance metadata

When I browse raw files from my Canon EOS Rebel XT/350D in Adobe Bridge I always look at the Metadata tab to check for the f-stop value, speed, white balance settings, etc. of the currently-selected raw image file.
I noticed that the pictures shot in Automatic White Balance appear on the upper-left portion of the Metadata tab as an icon indicating AWB. However, whenever I take pictures with manually-set white balances, such as shade, day light, tungsten, etc., the metadata tab no longer indicates the white balance I chose, instead, it either shows an icon of a camera or two dashes, as in --.
Is there any way I can set Adobe Bridge to show the appropriate White Balance icon for pictures I take with manually-set white balances?

Hi Curt,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, White Balance is checked in preferences/metadata. All of the Exposure metadata entries are also checked.
I forgot to mention that my version of Camera Raw is 4.5 (the latest).
You know, although White Balance is checked, I cannot find a White Balance text entry on any of the metadata lists (File properties, IPTC core, Camera Data (EXIF), etc.). The only place where I can see the White Balance setting in on the upper left corner of the Metadata tab, under the f-stop value.
Here is a personal question for you: When you browse your pictures in Adobe Bridge and you select one that was taken with a specific White Balance (not Auto), does your Adobe Bridge display an icon for that particular White Balance setting? I just want to eliminate the possibility that this happening only in my computer.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention.

Adobe Bridge Canon .mov Metadata Importing

I am using Adobe Bridge CS4 on Windows XP SP3 32bit.
I have recently seen the light and am now going through my years of photos and videos and adding metadata tags and key words. I realise that my image files which consist mostly of Canon RAW files largely look after them self in that all the meta data recorded by the camera is easily read. Things like aperture, lens type etc are easily seen and seen to be accurately captured.
With my video files however (at the moment I'm concentrating on 5D Mark II video files) I have come to realise that there is no metadata like there is in photos embedded within the file. Bridge just picks up the basic file info which is relatively inaccurate when it comes to creation date etc. After becoming disillusioned with the lack of metadata on my videos I then realised that when I use Zoom Browser (Canon image and video browsing software) that it has a stack of information that Bridge doesn't see. After some investigating I opened some .thm files with note pad and found the metadata stored in those.
From what I understand these are known as side car files. However as I want one program to rule them all, I want Bridge to have all the metadata. I had planned on manually entering all the data that I could read from Zoom Browser into Bridge but even this won't work because things like Aperture and Creation Date aren't editable fields in Bridge.
Is there a way I can get Bridge to extract the data from these .thm files?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Adobe Bridge Icon is Everywhere, What's with that?

   I have literally hundreds & hundreds of the [Adobe Bridge Icon] with the text following: Adobe Bridge Cache .bc or .bct.........
   These are everywhere imaginable, open any folder and see them. They are in the most unlikely places that have no connection to photoshop at all. The icons are usually paired, one with the .bc and the other with the .bct
   I'm always trashing them, it doesn't affect anything, nothing changes or happens by doing it. But, it's very annoying, there can be long strings of them especially in folders of pics. They can & do appear anywhere/everywhere but usually just in pairs, in or outside of subfolders but ultimately within a folder. Not sure, but come to think of it, they may appear on the desktop periodically. Also, when I do trash them they always seem to reappear later....maybe not all of them but most-
Is there a way to stop this?
I'm running Ps CS2
My system: 17" iMac G4: 1.35GHz, 1GB SDRAM, 80GB HD, 200GB Maxtor Ext.HD, Leopard 10.5.8.
**XLR8 MAChSpeed G4 7457 CPU+512 Cache**

This has nothing to do with Photoshop. Those files are Bridge cache files. In CS2, there was an option to use Central or Distributed cache. It sounds like you have the Distributed option selected.
[From: http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=483796]
By default, Adobe Bridge stores its cache in a central location. To make the cache more robust you can choose the Use Distributed Cache Files When Possible option in the Bridge Advanced Preferences dialog box. When this option is chosen, Bridge stores the cache for each folder in that folder. Doing so makes the cache more robust and eliminates the need to export the cache before burning a CD or DVD. However, this creates a pair of cache files in every folder. They are normally hidden, but you can view them if you choose View > Show Hidden Files. There are other caching options in the Cache submenu of the Tools menu, and in the Bridge Advanced Preferences.

Adobe bridge wont show my .orf files

ok, I have updated to the last version of adobe bridge, I have the last light room plugin for photoshop and still wont work, I mean, I only see the icons of the .orf files in bridge, but it just won't show all the metadata neither the thumbnails!!! this is driving me crazy, please help me

Ramón made a typo (which he does not often btw) and meant Bridge 2.1.1.9.
Apart from that if you follow his advice and read and follow all the install instructions carefully about the Photoshop plugin Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 4.5 and your dslr is in the supported list you should have no problem in viewing the files correctly.

Not seeing a DataType.ICON request when browsing with Adobe Bridge?

Hi All,
I have followed the instructions in the "Customizing the UI->Displaying Thumbnails" section of the Adobe Drive SDK documents, but I have a problem. When I browse through my drive with Adobe Bridge, I am not getting the expected request for DataType.ICON for any of my items; when I call item.getDataTypes() from my
IGetAssetsHandler, I only see the DataTypes [BASIC, ASSET_PROPERTY].
Any ideas as to why this might be is happening?

In your ConnectHandler implementation, add the following capability:
capabilities.add(Capability.READ_XMP_METADATA);
I spent a week to figure it out.

Why when using Adobe Bridge, I apply a star rating, the rating does not show up in Photoshop Elements? [tags]

Why when using Adobe Bridge, I apply a star rating, the rating does not show up in Photoshop Elements. I use Elements as my organizer and Bridge to view as it is much more user friendly. Anyone any solutions??

Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:

Adobe Bridge CC (Mac) isn't showing collections generated in Bridge CS6

Opening Adobe Bridge CC doesn't show the collections I generated in Adobe Bridge CS6. Both versions of Bridge are on the same Mac and opened within the same User account (of the operating system). In Bridge CS6 (which seems to not open while running Bridge CC) still shows the collections and smart collections.
Question:
Is there any way to import these collections or is there another way to show those collections in Bridge CC?

Is there any way to import these collections or is there another way to show those collections in Bridge CC?
Collections are version and user specific. If you want them also in CC you have to copy the collection files manually from CS6 to CC
Open two windows in your finder. Go to the user library (per OSX10.7 hidden by default, use menu Go with option to reveal) and follow this path:
user (your username)/ Library/ Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6 / Collections. inhere should be some files with your saved collection names and the extension .filelist
Copy these to the same location but now instead of CS6 CC.
This should make you collections also available in Bridge CC after restarting it.
Be careful to depend on collections, they are not all that reliable for the long run. If you have put a lot of work in one collection then select all and add the name of the collection also as a keyword to the files itself, this way you have a good back up when things go wrong

Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) shows in my Start menu but will not open.

Adobe Bridge CC (64 bit) showed installed on my Start menu and on the apps CC section.
I cannot open Bridge from either the Start Menu or the File Menu on CC PS CS6.
I'm on Windows 7, 64 Bit.
I also can no longer use Print Maintenance functions on my non CC PS CS5 version.

Make sure you do not have a previous version of Bridge running in the background. Only one version can run at a time.
Open Task Mangaer and click on processes tab. Look for and close and bridge.exe.

Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked.

Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked. It works on one computer but not the other-both working on the same system/ version of adobe cc.
How can I fix this bug?

Check to see what is different between setups. You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.

CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail

Hi, Since buying Lightroom3 I find that I can only see a CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files. Loading Lightroom3 may just be a coincidence.
I am using Canon cameras up to 5Dmk2 and PS4 software on my iMac. I have downloaded PS 11.0.2, Bridge3.00 and Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
I have purged the cache for the folder. I have downloaded DNG converter 6.10.250 and processed the file but still cannot see the thumbnails.
Within Bridge preferences the Camera Raw Preferences is a light gray and cannot be accessed. Is this normal?
If I trash CS4 completely would I be able to reload from the original Cd and try again.
Grateful for any advice. Alex

Adobe Bridge won't start. Shows message: Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working

Running Windows 8, with 16GB memory, running 64-bit Bridge. When I try to start Bridge it loads, shows main screen, then immediately shows dialog that says Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working. Only options are to debug or close program. I did Ctrl/Click and cleared the three resets and I also tried running it as admin.
So far, I'm one for three with the Creative Suite. Installed PS on the above box, works fine, But can't install PS on my Mac--more than an hour with TS with no joy. And now can't launch CC on Windows.

This problem has been solved by Microsoft, rebuilt Win7. I would like to delete my question to reduce clutter here but I don't know how to delete it. A moderator may delete this if they wish or someone can add to my reply and instruct me. Thanks!
