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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Yes, you can apply animation presets. You just can't do it through Bridge. See this thread:

  • Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

    Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

    I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email.  I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
    For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
    If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.

  • Syncing photos from Adobe Bridge?

    I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
    Is it possible to sync photos TO an iPod from Adobe Bridge?
    I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
    Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
    (If you're not familiar with Adobe Bridge—it's a file browser/organizer that, unlike iPhoto, views the actual native folder structure on the computer, rather than having its own database separate from the file structure.  Ordinarily you use Bridge to look at photos—or video files or whatever—directly in their containing folders.  However, if you want, you can create collections or smart collections.  These are exactly analogous to iPhoto's albums and smart albums, so I won't waste time describing them in detail.)
    Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
    The collections, incidentally, are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file).  Smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
    I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with the iTunes "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that only hard links will work—not symbolic links to files, not symlinks to directories and certainly not aliases.
    What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
    Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

    The solution I finally came up with involves hard links, and two separate automator workflows.  I posted about it in detail here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=103600
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

    Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

    It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
    Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
    Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

  • Help! I can't open my files in ImageReady from Adobe Bridge

    I have Photoshop CS2. I recently wiped my hard drive and reinstalled the original factory software, and then reinstalled Photoshop CS2, and it has been a little glitchy ever since then. For example, I arrange my files in Adobe Bridge, and then when I go back to them later they are not in the order I put them in. The program is putting the .BridgeSort file in the folder, so that is not the problem. When I restart the computer, if the last folder I had open in Bridge was sorted, it will still be sorted when I reopen Bridge, but if I open another folder that I already sorted it reverts back to the way it was before I sorted it.
    Also, I can't open any files in Adobe ImageReady from Adobe Bridge. Before I wiped my computer, when I wanted to create a slideshow in ImageReady, I just selcted the files I wanted to open and then right-clicked and chose "open in / Image Ready", but now that doesn't even come up as an option. I have already tried uninstalling photoshop and reinstalling it but that didn't fix the problem.

    Try something like this:
    1. Use window explorer to find a jpeg on your computer
    2  Right click on that jpeg file and go to Open With>Choose Program
    3. If the box that says:Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
        is checked, uncheck it and then press the Browse button.
    4. Navigate to the location of the cs2 ImageReady program and double click on it, then
        press ok in the dialog and the jpeg should open in ImageReady.
    5. Close ImageReady and right click on the jpeg and hopefully ImageReady will be
        listed as a choice.
    Hopefully cs2 bridge will also show ImageReady as a choice for jpegs.

  • Moving from Adobe Bridge CS5 to Aperture 3

    So I have been using Bridge since CS right through to CS5 for all my organising needs but I want something that is a little more organised in terms of photography requirements as my collection is getting larger and in need of higher organisation. I like the look of the workflow in Aperture 3. My only problem is that I would like to import the CRW raw files produced by my Canon SLR with the XMP sidecar files that contain all the adjustmenst to the image. There is no obvious way to do this in Aperture 3, is it possible? I have imported several collections and none of them have the adjustments applied to them in Aperture
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to utilize your ACR edits listed in the XMP file if you move to Aperture.
    Basically, the issue is with the different companies design of RAW rendering which do not read each other's edits.
    There is some support for DNG, but I would not recommend this path as there are a number of threads where users have had poor results. Apple's support for the format seems more like a stop-gap for users who purchase new cameras and may need to wait for the Camera RAW compatibility updates to be released for OS X before Aperture can recognize and render the RAW files.
    I also moved to Aperture from a Bridge/ACR/Photoshop workflow and decided to simply backup my former work to an archive drive and then render all the images to JPEG for importing into Aperture. Since I am happy with the work I completed in the Adobe workflow, the JPEG renders fulfill my needs and Aperture allows enough tweaking of the images without degradation for future use.
    All new images are of course either RAW or JPEG images imported directly into Aperture and I run a Managed library with all images inside the Aperture library package.
    One other option you have (and that I thought about as well) is to keep the images in Finder folders and run a Referenced library where both Aperture and Bridge can access the files, but I personally saw no real benefit as Aperture offers the organization of Bridge and the non-destructive editing of ACR with a much nicer interface - IMHO.
    Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

  • Possible to export photos from Adobe Bridge directly to Lightroom?

    I have thousands of images previously imported and processed in Adobe Bridge. I would like to open my original folders in Bridge, review the images and export only selected images directly to Lightroom. Is it possible to do this or must I import the original folder directly into Lightroom and make my selections by unchecking boxes?
    I would also like to import my keywords list from Bridge into Lightroom and apparently that can be done under the Metadata tab in Lightroom, but how do I navigate to the keyword list in Bridge,? Where is it located? Thanks. Bernie M

    Judith:
    Bridge does have a keyword hierarchy (Keyword sets). I'm not sure if it is brought in to LR as such, but the keywords do come into LR adequately for my purposes. Also, please remember that I am now only using Bridge for older archived folders that were originally processed in Bridge and all new photos are imported directly to Lightroom.
    When I select images in Bridge and drag them into Lightroom, all unselected images remain in their original folders, as do the selected images. The selected images are just for my Lightroom Library -- for my normal working practice. If I understand LR, the images brought into LR are not new copies, they are in a sense "aliases" for working purposes and the originals reside in their original folders. In fact if you have the original folders on an external harddrive that is not connected, you cannot modify the images in LR until you reconnect the external drive. So, when you say you load everything into LR you should be aware that the original images are NOT in LR but remain in their original folder, wherever that resides.

  • Accessing Aperture managed images from Adobe Bridge

    If I import images as managed, is there any way I can use Adobe Bridge to view them?
    Thank you.
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Aperture 1.5.2

    What you could do is to create a smart folder in the finder, which shows all the image files in the Aperture library. This is functionality built in to OS X 10.4 -- it's part of Spotlight.
    When you viewed this folder from Bridge, you'd be able to see the image files. The only issue is, they would all appear in one long list -- which could be a real pain if you had 10,000+ images.
    Also, it's likely that in that case that Bridge would spray XMP files inside the Aperture folder -- something I would be leery of.
    IMO if you want to view the RAW files from Bridge, you should move to a referenced setup. With Aperture 1.5 converting between the two is a cinch.

  • How can I access my cloud files from Adobe Bridge or Lightroom?

    Since we still do not have the ability to share folders or perform a sync with ACC I'm betting this question is not answerable, but I'm hopeful. It would be really great if Bridge, and I'll use Lightroom if I must, could access the files within the Adobe Creative Cloud. OK, I understand that sync isn't going to happen, that the cloud is not meant to be sharing or collaborative in nature but rather a tool allow you to send a single file to another Cloud user to get their comments or have them download a JPG. OK, that's fine, a VW is never going to be a Cadillac, but is it possible to modify Adobe Bridge or even Lightroom to look in the users Creative Cloud folders and display thumbnails of the images? This way the user can see a file he wants to work on, allow Bridge or Lightroom to export the file to his PC, open it, work on it and save it. Is any of this even possible today?

    Which OS do you have? In case of using Mac OS X 10.7 and later or using Windows 7 (maybe working on Vista too, but tested on Win7), Adobe CloudConnection is out now. If you use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, like I do, you have a problem xDD
