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?
I am new to Bridge and thus far only use it for this purpose...
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

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:

  • Re:DW8 flash on template page not shows flash

    Hi Murray,
    When I changed it to relative nothing changed, the .dwt works
    fine but not
    my other pages based on the template. Maybe there is
    something wrong with
    the editable regions?
    Thanks for your help

    Make the link to your Flash file be a root relative one.

    Hi all,
    I have a template based page with one flash animation.
    When I preview my template page the flash is working fine,
    but in my pages
    bases on the template I don't see my flash animation.
    Do I miss something?
    You can find my pages (text) on the following links:

    I appreciate all help
    Thanks in advanced, Sam

  • Illustrator document thumbnail previews not showing in finder window

    I am trying to find a way to view Illustrator document thumbnails (CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4) in Finder windows. Other documents such as .tiffs, jpgs, etc and Word and .pdfs show but not Illustrator.
    I used +show view options+ in the Finder, turning on and off show icon, show icon preview and show preview in column. The options seem to affect all other files but not Illustrator. All I get is the application icon but not the document thumbnail. Interestingly, I discovered if I manually delete the .ai extension the documents thumbnail appears, so I tried to turn off the +Show all file extensions+ in the Finder's Preferences. It changed other files but not Illustrator. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on a global basis without manually changing each files extension? It would allow me to the use of Quick Look on these files also. I did speak to Adobe and they thought it was an OS issue.

    This is a 'known' issue. Try SneakPeek Pro

  • New to bridge, preview not showing up... Help!

    Please help!
    I was using after effects and created a text layer. I was taught to go to Animation --> browse presets and it would open Adobe Bridge. Then I'd click on the 'text' folder then another folder inside of the 'text' folder such as 'Animate In'. When I use the computers at my school and click on one of the tabs in the 'content' panel, the preview of what goes on in that tab plays. But it doesn't play on my computer. Instead there's a small icon with a red square, blue circle and yellow triangle in it. How do I get it to play the preview??
    Thanks!

    Just needed to install quicktime. = )

  • Print preview not showing values correctly. (single words are omitted)

    Hi,
    When viewing print preview of ME23n , it does not shows the values correctly.
    It omitting the single words.
    If its having 2 or more words, it displaying correctly
    For example;
    This is the vendor & its address.  (check attached image img1.jpg)
    ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
    Number-122/A
    PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
    COLOMBO-04
    When displaying the print preview, it shows only some parts of the above address
    Shows only; (check attached image img2.jpg)
    ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
    PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
    These values are getting from a table called LFA1. I have checked that table & in that table all the values exists correctly.
    I have noted issue is with, having only a single word. (If address or name having only a single word, that is without spaces, it will not going to show in the print preview) -
    In the above example, it is not showing Number-122/A and  COLOMBO-04 (Its a single word. No spaces there)
    If its like --> Number - 122/A   &  COLOMBO - 04 ,  then it will display in the print preview correctly (where there are spaces after - mark)
    check img3.jpg
    If its having more than one word, then it will display correctly in the print preview.  As below;
    ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
    Number - 122/A
    PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
    COLOMBO - 04
    Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
    Is there any thing to do with printer settings & configurations / netweaver admin point of view?
    Best Regards.
    Zerandib

    Hi Zerandib,
    By the way , since its a standard program, i think that code is out of our scope.
    Me23N is a standard tcode but cusomters create Z-Program for printing by making a copy of standard.
    You may please check upon the same.
    Is it possible to check the results on a system where patch has not been applied ?
    Regards,
    Deepak Kori

  • Custom Quartz Filter In Preview Not Showing Up

    In Snow Leopard, I could create a custom ColorSync profile to reduce PDF size (but not with quite as a dramatic drop in quality as the default PDF Reduce File Size) and it would show up in Preview as an option.
    Now, in Lion, I still have the profiles, but they do not show up in Preview as a choice.  I also cannot edit the default Reduce File Size profile in ColorSync as it is perma-locked.

    Ok, got it now.
    Needed to generate new filters (Kopy the normal Reduce File size and changed it)
    Then I had to transfer them like midnightmac said.
    And then it works. I reduced 11,5 MB to 2,7 MB with  still accaptable results.
    Thanks all together

  • Web Service in Document Template Designer not showing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a new document template but the dropdown list is not showing any results even though we have web services that are active and productive.
    If I enter the name manually I am getting a "Please enter a valid Service definition name" error message.
    Has anybody seen this issue before?
    Thanks
    Gregor

    Hi,
    I was also getting same error once...However i was able to see my web service definition in F4. Selecting from F4 list was working fine but if i entered the name mannually, i was getting the same message as you got...may be its a Bug..
    Just to assist you, Have to activated the webservice from SICF before going for deployment using template or Adobe ?
    Just check if you have maintained the webservice in SICF.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Preview not showing photos after upgrade to 10.5.3

    Hi
    Since I upgraded to OS 10.5.3, my Preview program will open and seems to run properly...
    Except that I cannot actually see the photo that is open. The Preview toolbar shows and I can select the various options. But there is no window with the photo in it.
    Any clues?
    I already deleted the related plist files in User Library/Preferences. This did not change a thing.
    Thank you for your thoughts.
    Dominique =)

    Maybe deleting those plist files did work in the end - as this is the only thing I attempted to do to solve the issue, since I upgraded to 10.5.3 2 days ago.
    It took a few minutes, but all of a sudden, my Preview application was working as normal.
    =)

  • Motion 5 Template Publishing Not Showing Up in FCPX

    I did a clean install of Lion 10.7.1 and a clean install of FCPX and Motion 5.  For some reason, when I publish a template/generator/effect from Motion 5, it does not show up FCPX unless I restart FCPX.  When I first started using both Motion 5 and FCPX, as soon as I switched back to FCPX, the published template was there.
    I've repaired permissions, restarted the computer, etc.  Why won't this work any more? Any ideas?

    Mark Spencer answered this for me on another forum.  This is a known Lion bug.  Doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.  Just an inconvenience, but hope it's fixed soon.

  • Aperture previews not showing up in media browser (and iweb)

    some of my images in aperture projects do not show up in iweb or in the media browser at all....the projects are listed and most other project show all images, but some don't....
    i tried several things including consistency check and rebuilding the entire library....nothing works....
    this is very annoying...one of the few reasons (but a major one for me) to stick with aperture over LR is the system wide integration....but it has to work....

    thanks for that info....i actually managed to fix it by rebuilding my previews.....but there was no reason at all for the previews not to show up....and it actually took 2 times to rebuild them all....some still did not show up after the first run....
    i really hope we will see an upgrade soon....some things just have to be smoothed out....and a few added....

  • Classic Report with Hide and Show Region Template does not show report

    Hello,
    I created a "No Template" region on a page with a Classic Report. When I change it to a "Hide and Show" region template, the report does not show up when I click to Show the region...is there an additional step i'm missing to make the report show up. Its a very simple query.
    Thanks in advance,

    How about posting some relevant information like Apex version, RDBMS version, Theme you are using, etc.?

  • The templates are not showing up after I select them???

    the templates on pages are not showing up after I select them....unless I highlight the entire page and select a particular colour.  That leaves all the colours in the photo off.  Any help would be so very helpful.   

    CeraG - It will help to answer if you supply your system version, pages version and if you lately have done anything to the computer (installing, uninstalling etc)
    I think you have forgotten to do a Software update or it could also be a font problem but more info from you is needed!

  • OSX preview not showing acrobat-created table of contents

    I built a nice pdf bookmark tree/table of contents in Acrobat Pro. This has worked fine in the past. However oddly on this occasion while the table of contents looks fine in Acrobat, it does not show up in Preview. It's a 90 page doc assembled from MS Visio.
    What's going on?
    Anyone else coming across this issue?
    Thank you!!

    I'm running into a similar problem. In my case, I'm trying to add some bookmarks into an existing document using PdfBox 0.7.3. The original document was created with FOP 0.9.5 and Preview displays the bookmarks just fine. But after having added some bookmarks, Preview no longer shows any bookmarks!?
    Oddly, Gnome Evince 2.22.2 and Windows Acrobat Reader 9.1.1 have absolutely no problems with the modified document. It might still be a problem with PdfBox, but then I would expect other viewers to fail as well.
    If anybody has any ideas, I would very much welcome your feedback. Thanks!

  • Finder preview not showing avi thumbnails on macbk air

    Can anyone tell me why my macbook air is not showing .avi thumbnail previews in finder on my macbook air but I can see them on my imac? Both are running macOSx 10.6.6 and I am using VLC player. The macbk air shows the orange cone but i can only see the viedo when I double click and open vlc player. I don't have to do this on the imac. Both computers are showing the same finder settings and vlc settings as far as I can tell.

    I'm curious as to why this is working at all on your iMac. Is your iMac using VLC player for playing .AVI? Or does .AVI open in Quicktime using 3rd party .AVI QT plug-ins?
    I have a Mac Pro and my .WMV and .AVI files all show VLC media player Orange traffic icons instead of pretty thumbnails. I've been looking for a solution to show thumbnail previews, but haven't found one and assumed it was a limitation of the VLC media player.

  • Video preview not showing?

    Does the same footage play in Premiere Pro?
    What are the details of the footage (codec, container, etc.)?
