Are there advantages to using Adobe Bridge with Premiere Pro?

I frequently use pictures with my videos. Normally, I use Windows Explorer with the picture viewer to browse for what I'd like to use. I've experimented with Bridge, finding it to be a memory hog and slow. It got me wondering - Are there advantages vs. Windows Explorer?

Bridge can be used to easily add hierarchical keywords to large amounts of clips (and afaik it's the only tool in the Adobe suit that can do hierarchical keywording with video files). Those keywords can then be used to find clips inside of Premiere. On large projects (1000+ clips) that can be a life saver.
Apart from this and the features you mentioned (the cross software color stuff is useless for video as of CS6), I did not find any use to Bridge for video. Plus as you said, it is a memory hog, slow and in my own experience unstable with / not adapted to video.

When I use Adobe Bridge with PSE 8 is asks for my serial

I just launched Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac and chose to use Adobe Bridge to find images. Adobe Bridge opened and I found the image I wanted but when I double-clicked on the image a Photoshop Set-up dialogue box appears asking for my serial. So, I found my serial in my email because I bought the digital download and it says my serial is wrong. The weird thing is is that PSE is running and works fine. So why is Adobe Bridge asking me for my serial and rejecting it?
thanks
Jerry

Subversion is a program/system that stores files on a server, does versioning, etc. We use it principally for code management but also for our image files. It integrates into Windows explorer so you can check-in/check-out files, etc.
I was just wondering if there was a way to use Adobe Bridge as the front-end for it somehow.

Are there problems converting from Adobe Bridge to Organizer?

HI,
I've searched for information on this and haven't found anything so maybe there aren't any problems :} but...Murphy and I are good friends so I have to ask if there are problems.
I currnetly run Elements 8 on a MacBook and have about 2000 pictures in Bridge and some in Iphoto. I use bridge for pictures for web design and Iphoto for family stuff. I 'help out' with the computer stuff at a cat shelter in town and they have just bought Elements 10 and run the PC version. I am thinking of upgrading to 10 so I will be familiar with their version but am worried about converting from bridge to organizer. Are there any known problems? Is there a tutorial some place about the conversion from bridge to organizer.
Thanks for any ideas

You have no pictures in Bridge. Bridge is just a browser; it just shows the current state of any folder to which you point it, so that's no problem. If you really want to use organizer, it will pick up your metadata keywords when you import the photos. Photos from iphoto will be duplicated on import to the organizer (normally it just makes a dbase pointer to the existing photo) to avoid inadvertently writing into the iphoto library, which can corrupt it and cause loss of the photos it contains.
You will lose any stacks in bridge when you import the photos into organizer.

What other options are there for burning a dvd outside of premiere pro?

I tried the downloading of PPCS6 which included encoder. That didn't work, the dynamic link library did not contain a link to send something to encoder. Whats the procedure in buring a project from PP to a dvd not using encoder?
Thanks for your help!

Ann and Shooternz,
Thanks for your response's, I appreciate it. let me explain what I am trying to do and have tried: The objective end result is to make a dvd with go pro footage I shot edited together in ppcc.
I went golfing with my Father and Brother recently, took my gopro hero silver 4 and shot some video. I have imported all that footage into premiere procc 2014 and have done editing on a limited extent of the footage and created a timeline sequence. This is the first time I have tried to make a dvd from footage edited in ppcc. After the composition was done I rendered the video, went to burn a dvd thru my neuro express lite software and could not locate the saved files, it appears the only dvd extensions options in neuor express lite are looking for are bup, vod and ifo. So it could never find the rendered video from ppcc. Then I read about PP CS6 which contains Encore and thought this will work! I download PPCS6 and install, novice me thinking ppcc 2014 will have the dynamic " send to encore "............not! Before I downloaded PPCS6 I see a video from adobe tv of a tutorial on what I was doing, he said to uninstall ppcs6 after and keep enocre unchecked in the uninstall process, which I did. In premiere pro it said to put things in a " que " and it should link to encore, for me it linked to adobe media encoder.
I uninstalled encore and reinstalled PPCS6 with Encore this morning to try again, when I go to import from with in PPCS6 a PPprogfile everything looks like it's working then stops, I see a progress bar and it just stops and hangs up? I tried dragging and dropping two files I rendered from PPCC ( aud and vid files ) into encore and it looked as if it was going thru the burning process, I got a progress bar and everything and it just stops after about 15-20 minutes, I have 32 minutes of golf footage.
Ideally I would like to use encore for my burning needs, I dont think neuro 2012 lite is up to what I need. I thought the dragging and dropping into it was gonna solve my problem, it didnt! Just made me more frustrated then what I am.
What is the work flow in something like this? Compile in PPCC render to the specs of it being shot, then import into encore with the dvd instructions? Can someone steer me in the right direction? What I thought was gonna be a simple process has turned into a frustrating process.
Why cant I import PPCC files into PPCS6? What kind of files can I import into encore for burning? Do they have to rendered first? Or just the completed project?
When you say export to mpeg2 dvd, after it is rendered how is it burned to a disc, thru something like Neuro?
I am a novice at this so if these questions sound stupid, I apologize now.

Adobe air with premiere pro cloud

I downloaded premiere pro via cloud. When I click on help it says I need adobe air. I already had it on my machine. But I went to the referred adobe site anyway thinking that it would be a different file, etc. I could not make heads nor tails of the air site on adobe.
What I'm looking for is how to get the "link" command to link my files. It used to be part of the project, right click menu. But it's not there anymore. So I went to help and the above happened. Can any one help me with these two problems???

Do you have a clip selected? Link Media won't be available unless a clip is selected first.

Using Adobe Bridge with Photoshop Elements

I have an iMAC with iLife 08.
I take photos in RAW format with a Nikon camera.
I have been editing photos this way:
After uploading photos to iPhoto, export them as jpg to a new folder on the desktop, external HD or wherever. I open Photoshop Elements, edit the exported photo.
Then I'm stuck with my edits outside of iPhoto, unless I then import them back into iPhoto. It works, but it's cumbersome.
Today I thought I'd try a different route. I opened Photoshop Elements, and tried to use Bridge to browse photos. I can find the iPhoto library easy enough, but if I click on it, it opens iPhoto, and I'm stuck - can't open the photos in Photoshop.
I am hoping that if I do it correctly, I can save my edits directly back into iPhoto.
Any ideas?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
Now to the link you gave me . . .

Integration of other Adobe products..Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD

Prior to obtaining CS2 I have been working with the other video/audio Adobe tools; Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD.
I fully expected to see integration of these products into the Bridge application after CS2 installation. I was disappointed, there does not appear to be any such integration. I do hope that this is in plan, and that I don't have to spend an "upgrade" fee to use integration that should have been there to begin with.
Even if there is no further integration, it would be nice to be able to continue using the Bridge as my "file manager" in the event I have to transfer my CS2 activation to another computer; after all I still have 4 licensed Adobe products installed on the machine, even if there not, quote, CS2 applications.

I can't use Bridge with my video products anymore. I have 3 systems in my personal development environment. I am now past the 30 day period before activation of CS2 is required on my video editing machine. Now I am no longer able to use Adobe Bridge with my other Adobe (video) products.
Also, now I've noticed that the next level of video products is available, they now have Bridge integrated. As I anticipated in my first append, I cannot continue using Bridge with my Adobe video products unless I spend more money for an upgrade. If the intention is to have Bridge become an integral tool in the creative process, this policy is short sighted. It can't be that difficult to bring out an update for the CS2 level of bridge that would enable it to work with users that have AE 6.5 or PPro 1.5 installed.

How do I fix yellow spots on face and background with Premiere Pro/After Effects CS4?

Hi,
I have the CS4 version of pretty much all Adobe products. I have to color correct and edit a video that was shot during a seminar inside a conference room with an average digital camera. The camera zoomed in a lot on the subject when he was talking. So, it's not the best quality video and I'm trying to make it look as nice as possible. I've done some general color correcting and it looks okay, but there are a number of yellow spots on the subject and in the background, mainly on brownish surfaces (the speaker is African American). This probably appeared because of the low picture quality and zoom, but how can I fix it? When I do the general color correction, the spots just change color, but don't disappear. I played around with different things, but couldn't fix it. Is there a way to do this with Premiere Pro or After Effects? Or would it be very complicated? Or not possible at all? The camera zooms in and out a few times, too, so would that pose a problem for correcting this?
Thanks for any info!

It can be done in After Effects.

Using Adobe Bridge file structure with iPhoto (latest version)

I use Adobe Bridge and have all my pics in named folders in Pictures/PICS/Folder Names. Inside the PICS folder is the iPhoto Library (only a few pics in it). Is there any way I can use the file structure I have set up with Bridge and iPhoto (latest) simultaneously? I really dont want to import (copy) all my pics into IPhot because I am pretty sure I will end up with two versions of each. I havent been able to manage pics manually the way I like to in older versions of iPhoto.

Here's some info to help you setup Photoshop for use with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea

Hi,
can anyone tell me
What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea
over an internal table with header line?
thnks in adv
regards
nagi

HI,
Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb35de358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
<b>Difference between Work Area and Header Line</b>
While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table. The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
e.g.
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row.
It is a buffer used to hold each record before it is added or each record as it is retrieved from the internal table. It is the default work area for the internal table
1) The difference between
whih header line and with out heater line of internal table.
ex:-
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
-While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
-The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table.
-The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
-Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
table is with header line
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
table is without header line
2)work area / field string and internal table
which one is prefarable for good performance any why ?
-The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row , whereas internal table can have more than one record.
In short u can define a workarea of an internal table which means that area must have the same structure as that of internal table and can have one record only.
Example code:
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.

Are there problems if we develop webservices with 1.4.2, but use 1.5.0?

Hi all,
I hope you may help me in one question.
We develop webservices for IBM WAS 6.0 (java 1.4.2) with connection to oracle 9i and WMQ 5.3CDS12.
But now we want to change the environment to IBM WAS 6.1 (including java 1.5.0).
Are there problems if we develop webservices with 1.4.2 but using java 1.5.0 on websphere?
Or should we use java 1.4.2 on websphere app server 6.1? I think WAS don't run under 1.4.2?!
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.
SY,
Marc

You only need a new certificate when the old one expires. Changing JDKs has nothing to do with it.

Using Adobe Bridge and iPhoto together

I use Adobe Bridge (and Photoshop) to work on my photos. iPhoto is not an option since I shoot in Camera RAW. I also own an Apple TV and want to store all of my photos in iPhoto so they are available to the rest of my family via Apple TV. Has anyone figured out a way to do image manipulation first in Bridge & Photoshop and then have them sent (or later updated) in iPhoto in an automated fashion?
Conceptually, every time I add or change a photo in Bridge or Photoshop, I'd like to convert it to JPG, and add or modify the image in iPhoto.

Also make sure PS's File handing preferences "Macimize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" is set to Always and that there are no alpha channels in the file. An alpha channel will cause the black image that you're referring to.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts.

Why I can't do a search in my external hard disk using Adobe Bridge CS6?

When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try to do a search within my external hard disk, it will give results from my internal hardisk only?! this is the 1st time I encounterd such strange issue. Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

I solved the problem by going to the search field and clicking on the search icon where it will give a drop list of 3 options, then selecting Bridge Search: Current Folder and that solved my problem. thanks for everyone help

You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK. Bridge will not search across different drives however.
