Auto-load animation presets?

I find it very frustrating that when I open AE and I apply effects that I have presets for, but when I go to my animation presets drop down its empty. So my fix for this is to open the Effects and Presets menu (F5 on PC) and then a window pops up and says "Initializing Animation Presets". In past versions I assume this was done while the program was opening? Does anyone know of a way to have animation presets load automatically. Its not just my own personal presets I've made, its all of them including stock AE presets and those that get installed with plugins too.
I'm using After Effects CS4 (9.0.1.51) on Windows XP x64.
thanks for the input!

Normally it would do that on launch, if the Effects&Presets palette is open. If the palette is not visible, it doesn't do it. It should not have anything to do with your problem, though. More likely you are falling victim to a language mishmash, so the question becomes in which language you installed the program and in what language you are using it. If you e.g. installed it in German, but launch it in English, some presets would not show up, 'cos they have localized effects references and expressiosn. This should however not affect not presets you created on your own (assuming you store them inside the AE Presets dir) or third-party presets like the Trapcode ones...

  • Text Animation Presets do not load.

    Text animation presets do not load in After Effects CC (or Adobe Bridge when browsing presets). They don't show up in Effects & Presets panel. I believe they used to show up but no longer. They are in the presets folder so I'm not sure why they won't load in either program.
    Any help appreciated.
    James

    They show up for me and everybody I know except you. Without knowing something about your system, about whether this is new behavior, and without knowing what if anything has changed on your system I have no idea how to help you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Adding a Loading Animation to a Captivate movie for use in a RoboHelp Project?

    Hello all:
    I'm inserting SWFs (built in Captivate 5) into Robohelp topics (using RoboHelp 9, publishing to WebHelp Pro output). These topics hold only the SWFs, so I've published the SWFs to autoplay  when opened.
    The problem is this: when I publish my RoboHelp project, my Captivate movies display as image icons (see screenshot). There is no loading animnation or screenshot to indicate that the Captivate movie works. If I wait a few seconds (variable, depending on file size of the SWF), the movie will appear and start to play. I'm concerned that my user will think the file is broken and leave the page.
    How can I enable a loading animation (or even a loading image) to show my user that there is, in fact, content on the page when the topic loads? I'd like to keep the auto-play functionality, if possible.

    The best option is to break out the words because it gives you the most control. However, if the two words you want to glow are next to each other you can use the Sequence Text behavior.
    Select the text and apply Text Animation/Sequence Text to the layer. In the behaviors tab, click on the Add parameter and select Glow/Color. This will create a parameter that you can assign to a character, word, line or custom area.
    Now you'll need to add several parameters so repeat the above step adding parameters for Glow/Opacity, Glow/Blur, and Glow/Radius. You might even want to change the color of the font for those two words. If so, add a parameter for Face/Color.
    Once you have all the parameters added, change the Traversal parameter to Custom. Change the Select parameter to Custom. Use the Start parameter to determine the beginning of the "glow" area, and the End parameter to fix the end of it. Set the Spread to 0 so there is no spillage of the glow to the words on either side.
    Now adjust the color, blur and radius of the glow just as you would if you were adding it to the entire paragraph.

  • AE CS4 crashes after 'Initializing Animation Presets'.

    Hi,
    I have suddenly started experiencing AE crashes.This wasn't the case till even last week.I have been using AE CS4 with the latest update applied.
    I got XP SP3,
    4 GB RAM
    560ti 1GB graphic card
    Core 2 Duo
    My AE even renders psunami plugin with good decent settings, without even the need to purge all or something before starting the render.
    But a few days back I launched AE and after the progress bar of 'Initializing Animation Presets', it hanged.I clicked in the preview window, or tried opening the file and it said not responding.It hangs and nothing happens but as soon as I click somewhere it says not responding.
    Then I tried opening an AE project directly and it worked.But then if I try opening AE project some other time, it crashes again, as in not responding.Tried opening twice, thrice and what not!Same thing.Sometimes out of the blue it doesn't crash.
    I only remember installing ffdshow.I uninstalled it.Restarted, ran registry cleaner and everything but still the same problem.I updated QT but quite some time ago.After than I worked on two AE projects.Just last week worked with psunami plugin.Everything was fine, until tried opening AE this day before yesterday, monday.If I turn off PC and directly launch AE after restarting, then it works sometimes.I was trying and it didn't crash and then loaded BCC flickr fixer and it said invalid error however I had just used it last week to fix flicker in my timelapse.I have made no changes in any of the folders whatsoever.But then I restarted pc and tried loading the filter, it worked fine.Just in case this thing about BCC filter matters.
    Please help?

    If all of the trouble happened after ffdshow, then try using System Restore to go back to a date before you installed that. Note: I said system restore and not system recovery. System restore just fixes Windows and won't mess with your files or anything.
    If that doesn't work, you may need to uninstall your Adobe software, run the Adobe Cleaner, and reinstall your Creative Suite.
    If that doesn't work, you may need to format your computer and start over. (Backup your files first, obviously.)

  • Can you download different indesign animation presets CS6?

    can you download different indesign animation presets CS6? to add or replace the originals?

    I believe you can import them from Flash Professional CS6. I've never done it, however. From the Animation panel menu, there's a Manage Preset command. You're supposed to be able to load motion presets from Flash.

  • Problem in loading animated gif

    I have problem in loading animated gif with ClassLoader. Here is the code:
    ClassLoader loader=this.getClass().getClassLoader();
    URL res = loader.getResource(name);
    if (res!=null) {
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(res);
    if (icon != null) {
    Image image = icon.getImage();
    if(icon.getImageLoadStatus() == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
    images.put(name,image);
    return (Image) image;
    } else {
    System.out.println("Failed to load "+name+" error "+icon.getImageLoadStatus());
    images.put(name,"");
    Only when the gif is an animated gif, I get error message: Failed to load and icon.getImageLoadStatus() returns 2. Otherwise, it works.
    Anyone encounters the same problem as me?

    I think the problem is the asynchronous loading of the gif.
    when you call f(icon.getImageLoadStatus() == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
    I think it is comming back MediaTracker.LOADING .
    for an animated gif, it may not come back COMPLETE until after running thru
    the whole automation. instead you could just check:
    (icon.getImageLoadStatus() != MediaTracker.ERRORED)

  • How do I stop last web pages from auto loading in Safari?

    I find the feature of Lion that auto-loads previous web pages (and previous open applications) annoying. I want to stop this function. I see the checked box that asks if I want to re-open applications when logging out but I want the default to be to NOT re-open the apps. I equally dislike the auto-opening of previous web pages in Safari. I know that I can clear my history but what I want is for my homepage to open when I run Safari and not the last page viewed. Any solutions?
    Found this for Safari in the forums...
    Go to terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO.
    You can also do the same for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

    iDrifter: The full command is:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    I was having the same problem and this is what I did:
    1) Closed Safari
    2) Changed the setting (mentioned) above in System Preferences
    3) Enter the "defaults write ..." command into Terminal.
    Now whever I launch Safari it does not load any pages.

  • Animation preset--one letter at a time

    I am looking for a text animation preset that shows one letter at a time. I have tried several of the presets and applied a mask, but I am assuming there is an automated way to do this, either with a preset or an expression of some kind.
    Lee

    "Shows" can be done a thousand different ways but let's just say you're scaling the letter up from 0% to 100%.
    What you want to do is spend about two hours reading about and then playing with text animators. You will simply apply your animation choices to a letter and use the Selector to move a set of frames along your text object. The frames will show you which letters are getting your animation settings. You will keyframe the selector position so it moves along your text object.
    The sections in the manual only hint at the levels of complexity and variety.. you will also want to use the online help system for the more explicit information.
    Warning: The whole process is quite confusing and frustrating for your first many efforts. But eventually you will see how cool the whole text animation systems are.

  • (second time) Two questions - One is, Firefox will not sign me in completely and remember passweords., shown in details. Two- how to stop the loading animations

    Since no one is replying, i have to try again
    Deatails for number 1:
    Firefox will not sign me in and remember my passwords at all. It first started on this site, New Jersey Online (NJ.com). I created an account there and Firefox will not log me in. That happened, January 3rd, 2012.
    About NJ.com problem
    I created an account there. Then I signed into my new account. I did get correct username and password. But the browser does not log me into the acount. I looked all around NJ.com for answer and my problem was not in the forums/blogs.
    On Jan 4, 2012 - On the City Data forum I logged into my account there.
    About the city data forum problem
    I logged into my account there.
    Firefox asked me if I want to remember this passwod, i said Yes. The box in city data forum has a remember be box I checked it.
    The result means- I did not get signed in at all.
    I tried multiple times, none worked.
    I allowed firefox to do these things -
    1. Remember browsing history for at lease one day
    2. Remember download histroy.
    3. Accept cookies from sites, including third party cookies, until their expiration
    4. Clear the folowing when firefox closes: browsing history, download history, and form/search history.
    I feel afraid this problem is gonna hsppen forever (and maybe even on this site!), and it will not sign me in to any site on the internet.
    Number 2 Question
    Any way to disable the loading animation in Firefox 3.6.15? it makes me forget what I was going to do. it's also shown in the addon update information. PLease help me disable the loading animation Everywhere in the Firefox browser.
    For other sites with loading animations, I can use the Adblock plus element hiding helper . Just need to remove the animations by firefox
    Please help me ASAP (as soon as possible), thank you!

  • 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.

  • Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6?

    so I upgrade from CS6 to CC and did not install Bridge CC. Then while in After Effects CC I try to view the text animation presets, but window informs me I do not have Bridge CC installed. I then download and install Bridge CC and view the animation presets, but seem all the same as Bridge CS6 has.
    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Is there another procedure to acquire more? Did I click past something on my first launch of Bridge CC?

    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Best try this in the After Effect forum, to my knowledge not many AE users are here at a regular base. Besides that, every suite version has its dedicated applications to work together in that suite, CC is no exception to that so for best practice use Bridge CC.
