Animation presets import trough Adobe Bridge Browser

Hi guys,
I am sure that in previous versions of AE I could "Browse Presets" trough Bridge, double click on selected preset and it would import into AE.
Now, in CC and CC2014, when I browse presets, and double click on selected one it shows error (" Unsupported file type or extension").... then, I have to go manually, trough "Apply animation preset", find the preset and load it....
Any solution???
Thanks!

Make sure scripts are enabled for CC and CC14 in Bridge Preferences:
Restart Bridge, select the Timeline panel then select the layer you want to apply the preset to and double click.

  • New files not showing up in Adobe Bridge browser

    Since mid-October all new images added to "My Pictures" file refuse to show up the Adobe Bridge browser box. This is infuriating!! I've got Photoshop CS2 and run Windows XP prof. Any help is appreciated!!

    Thanks, but My issue isn't with the thumbnails..... the new folders are totally missing from "My Pictures" folder, when viewed in Adobe Bridge. I can get around this by opening individual images in the program provided with my camera, and then stipulating I want to edit it in Photoshop... but what a time sucking pain!

  • Applying Animation Presets from Adobe Bridge?

    I haven't used this feature in a long time, so I don't know if this is a configuration problem on my PC or something I am doing wrong. In the flyout menu of the Effects and Presets panel, selecting ""Browse Presets" brings up Adobe Bridge. If I double click on a preset, say the apparition background, AE shows:
    After Effects error: Can't import file "Apparition.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. (0::1)
    However, if I try the same thing using the Animation menu->Apply Animation Preset->Open->....Apparition.ffx, it works fine.
    AE Version: 13.1.1.3
    Bridge Version: 6.1.0.116 x64
    Windows 8.1

    There's an issue with the installers for that version. The wrong script is involved. I don't have the link to the page explaining it, but if you do a search through these forums for other people with the issue, I'm sure you can find it.
    Until it gets fixed in an update, don't use Bridge to apply animation presets - just use the effects and presets panel in AE or the menu option as you're already doing.

  • Bridge CC hangs/freezes with AE animation presets.

    Does anyone else have the issue of Bridge CC hanging/freezing when an AE animation preset is selected in Bridge?  This happens whether I Browse Presets from AE or I attempt to navigate to the presets folder directly through Bridge CC.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs, with no success.  I can still apply an animation preset to a layer from the presets panel in AE, but of course there is no preview, so this is a bit frustrating.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    No experience with AE but if one set up does work and the other not it is likely the problem of that one set up.
    Uninstall and reinstall without using Adobe cleaner tool is rarely solving problems because existing prefs and cache often keeps the same.
    The central cache is by default installed in the user library caches folder. When in real trouble I always manual delete this cache file, together with the Bridge plist file and restart Bridge holdong down option key and reset prefs.
    This provides an almost new install with factory defaults.
    Be aware that per OSX 10.7 the user library is hidden, use menu Go with option to reveal)
    User / library / caches / Adobe/ Bridge CC : inhere a plug in and a folder called cache. Drag both outside the user library (trash or back up)
    User / library / preferences / com.adobe.Bridge6.plist (drag to the trash)
    restart Bridge holding down option and choose refresh prefs, then try again.
    You need to reset your custom settings and sometimes reset the custom workspace and since you dumped the cache it first needs time to recache your content.

  • 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.

    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:

    > 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.

  • Adobe Bridge Freezes While Previewing Animation Presets

    Hello
    I know this question has been asked several times over, but I do not have a resolution so I thought would ask again.  Like the previous posts, when I browse presets from the Effects and Animations menu, Adobe Bridge opens.  I can scroll through the animations, but once I choose one, the play button scrubs and appears to play, but never does, and then the program freezes.  I have read the blog posts and installed the fixes posted on the adobe blog, but nothing helps. All of my Apple Software and Creative Cloud software says it is up to date.
    Here are my settings:
    Adobe After Effects 12.2.1.5
    Adobe Bridge 6.0.1.6
    Apple Quicktime 10.1
    20-inch, Early 2008 iMac OS X
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    Any guidance you can offer is much appreciated!
    Thank you,

    Thanks for the quick reply Rick.  Yes, 4Gb is not a lot, but when I bought the machine I was not doing any video and it sure seemed like plenty in 2008.  I probably should upgrade...
    I did close down everything else, but the problem still exists.  I can navigate to a thumbnail, but once I click on it and try to preview, the program freezes and I have to force quit.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

  • After Effects won't import any animation presets from Bridge.

    I just installed Creative Cloud.  It seems to be working fine, except that when I try to apply Animation Presets into After Effects through Bridge, it gives me an error message saying "Can't import file xxx.fxx: unsupported filtype or extension"
    I'm not trying to import a "file" or anything.... simply trying to apply an animation preset to a video clip on an AE timeline.  Never had any issues doing this with CS5.  Anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks

    See this thread:
    Re: Using bridge within AE 2014.  Going through lessons in classroom in a book.  All of a sudden can't apply any presets.

  • Adobe Bridge CC not playing After Effects CC animations

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to After Effects and Adobe Bridge, and I recently ran into a problem.
    So, when I turn on After Effects , and in the Effects Panel , I click "Browse Presets", and then It opens Adobe Bridge. But when I single-click in any kind of an animation in Bridge, it's not playing it in the "Preview" panel.
    The little Windows's "picture icon" just starts zoomed in, and then it quickly zooms out.
    I'm using a freshly installed Windows 8.1 , and fully updated Bridge and After Effects.
    What might be the problem?
    If you want, I could also record the problem with a screen recorder and upload it to YouTube.
    EDIT : I just fixed the problem by updating Bridge to the latest version (CC 6.1)!
               The animations are playing smoothly without any problems! Just run the Adobe Update Manager, and update
               Bridge!

  • Problems using Animation Presets from Bridge

    Dear all,
    Using the CC range, and recently had a new problem using the animation presets from Adobe Bridge. I'm in After Effects as normal, and then go to the Animations drop down, click browse recent presets to open up Bridge, and then as normal use Bridge to select the preset I want. Double click it whilst highlighting my selected track in AE, and then AE reports this:
    And the same error codes no matter what effect/animation I choose, whether its to an image, video or text.
    If I just go, in AE, to my Recent Animation Presets, and choose one from there it loads up absolutely fine. But this is massively annoying.  Any ideas? This problem appeared out of nowhere.

    This is fixed in the After Effects 2014.2 (13.2) update, which is now available.

  • Importing metadata from Microsoft Excel or Access to Adobe Bridge CC metadata

    I'm trying to figure out how to batch import a substantial amount of metadata in Microsoft Excel or Access to the IPTC core fields in Adobe Bridge CC. I've seen the issue discussed, but many of the posts about it are six or seven years old. So here are the simplest statement of the questions:
    1. Is it possible to export data from Excel or Access to XMP and then batch-import it in Adobe Bridge CC?
    2. If it requires templates, are there commercial, shareware, or freeware templates that will achieve this?
    3. If so, what are the links to those repositories?
    4. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve this on PC and/or Mac?
    5. What are the links to those instructions?
    Thanks in advance for your help. I've used Bridge from CS1... but I've never used it for batch-importing to IPTC.

    Well,
    it works for me without problems.
    Some information on my setup and what I did:
    - my primary browser language is English (en-us)
    1) Save the data in a file called hardware.txt:
    SERIAL,HOSTNAME,ITEM_TYPE,BRAND,MODEL,OWNER,STATUS
    AEP016136,d2vmrw61,Laptop,Dell,m71,Gary Cleary,Active
    AEP016169,dhj3b71,Desktop,Dell,Dimension 4700,Unassigned,Active
    AEP016170,cn-0g8432-64180-52p-1yts,Monitor,Dell,E193FP,Unassigned,Active2) Load the data (Load text data) into an existing table by uploading a file:
    - File: hardware.txt
    - Separator: , (comma)
    Worked fine.
    3) Load the data (copy /paste spreadsheet data into an existing table):
    - Open the file hardware.txt in Excel and import it into the spreadsheet
    - copy all three lines and paste them into the textarea in XE (the difference is that the columns are no longer separated by commas but by tabs)
    Worked fine as well.
    Please try the above mentioned steps and see whether you still get the error.

  • Can't preview animation presets via AF CS5 in Preview window in Bridge CS5

    None of the animated Presets in After Effects Support Files will play in the Bridge previewer. Other media show up fine. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, X4 955 processor, 8 gigs RAM. All other CS5 programs work flawlessly. The only possible solution I found from Adobe for Bridge was the following which did not work: Select this option if slide shows or images in the Preview panel, Full Screen Preview, or Review mode don’t display correctly. Using software rendering for previews displays previews correctly, but the display speed may become slow and there may be other limitations. 1.In Advanced preferences, select Use Software Rendering. 2.Restart Adobe Bridge Any other options?

    This is a graphics card/driver issue.  Make sure you have the latest updates.
    Also, I beilve the that animition effects rely on Quicktime, so make sure you have that installed as well.

  • Adobe Bridge Not Browsing My Computer

    I have been trying to browse my computer so I can see thumbnails of my quicktime mov files, but at this moment Adobe Bridge will stop responding while building the criteria. If I choose to browse other folders on my C Drive it does this with great ease and opens the folders and files. If I go to computer it will just not open that. I have got 1.5 TB esata hdd and internal Intel Raid 0 partitioned to 2TB and 1tb Respectively. These are the drives which I want to browse. It was working fine yesterday, but just don't know what happenned for it to stop browsing my computer.
    I have tried purging the cache and everything resetting by holding different keys but it just won't help. Thought could reinstall just Bridge, but it does not appear on the 1st install disc of my Premium Production CS5. I haven't got enough time to wait for a reinstall and updating coz I will lose almost 3 hours of my work.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If nothing happened then you are not doing it correctly.  If you got the reset window and nothing changed when implemented that is a different issue.
