Bridge CS6 Audio preview slow

I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6 x64 and the audio previews have a delay before they begin to play, while the video previews don't. Is there a way I can speed things up and have the audio play almost the second I click? I'm running a decent PC here, 16GB ram, and it occurs on both a 7200rpm 1tb drive and on an ssd. Bridge x64 is using 70mb of ram while it runs. The cache has been purged from preferences.
I've seen this guy VIDEO COPILOT | After Effects Tutorials, Plug-ins and Stock Footage for Post Production Professionals (Click "Watch Demo," at about 2:38 it shows him using bridge) use bridge and get near instant audio playback upon selecting a file, so why am I getting a short delay before playback?

When I saved a image to my desktop and wanted to open in Preview so I could do some altra fast tweeks like add sepia and then resaved it came up that I didn't have aothourization to save changes. I then as suggested went to finder - get info - and unlocked the file and entered the desktop password when prompted and closed but it still won't save the changes. I don't want to change it to open as a PS file because it is a JPEG and takes allot of effort when preview cnages under tools color is so efficient. Other suggestions to try?

Bridge CS6 bad preview after adjustment in Adobe Camera Raw 7.0

Hi,
when i update camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview only after 1 or more adjustments in adobe camera raw (yes, "Always High Quality"and "Generate Preview-Size Previews").
Image apears and stays like when we open it in camera raw in the first few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several reinstals of phoshop, was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files with Windows 7 64 bits .
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

After Effects CS6 Audio Preview Issue

I am completely baffled on this one. The audio preview function in After Effects isn't working at all, whether I try to play the sound on its own or within a composition. I tried importing another file and applying a tone effect to a layer, neither of those played either.
I have checked everything I can think of. Sound on the clip is enabled, the waveforms look like they should. The sound works fine when I open the file with another program. I tried playing it with and without headphones plugged in with the volume all the way up, still nothing.
Whether I scrub through holding ctrl, hit (.) or use RAM preview, no sound comes out.
Audio preview is enabled.
Visually the audio levels fluctuate here as they should, but no actual sound comes out. Mute isn't on, as you can see there. Here is the file itself:
When I tried rendering, the sound WAS there in the output file. It's just previewing any sound within AE that isn't working. I need to sync sound and animation for this project so this is pretty debilitating as far as my work goes. I closed AE, restarted, etc., nothing changed. It seems like there must be some place that audio preview isn't enabled but I am out of ideas and no fixes I found on the forum so far have helped. If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful to hear them.

I'd check preferences - audio and your audio settings on the system. Speaking of the system What OS? What kind of sound device?
Did you try a wav file?

Bridge is more of processor dependant function than RAM dependant.

Bridge CS6 CR2 preview display problem

Whilst I can see CR2 (Canon 5D mk 3) files in the main display field, hitting the space bar only shows a 'CR2' icon. what's best action.

What's the fix for this?
It might be cache related, can you select a CR2 thumb that shows good in the preview panel and then with right mouse click choose 'purge cache for selected files' and see if this solves the problem.
If not restart Bridge holding down option key (mac) or control key (Win) and from the menu choose reset preferences.

Bridge CS6 Trial and Bridge CS5

Hello
I have just installed Photoshop CS6 trial with Bridge CS6 and notice that as in Bridge CS5, in Bridge CS6, the previews of thumbnails do NOT show sharpening and NR applied in ACR7, even after purging the cache and setting monitor size preview. Is there any reason why? It means that if I run a slideshow, some of the editing in ACR does not appear in the views.
Surely the monitor size preview jpegs should reflect all work changes made in ACR.

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
After one minute the preview gets updated, but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
Only then the images get deleted.
Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
Edit:
I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

Hi Noel,
Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

Play audio files in Bridge CS6

Hi,
I used to be able to play audio files created with my Mk4 right in the preview window in CS4 which was easy for renaming files after their description was recorded when taking the shot.
Does anyone know how I can do this in CS 6 - there are no play/pause controls under the preview like there was in CS4.
Thanks Heaps for any help.

Hi ,
yes , MK4 and .wav files
I have Mac 10.7.5 & Bridge CS6
I have selected "Play audio files automaticly when selected" in the preferences but it doesnt do it.
In previous versions of bridge you could get a play and pause buttons below the .wav icon view in the preview
but this doesnt happen.
It is really inconveinent as it defeats the purpose of having the .wav file and the I have to go back to Bridge CS4 to play the files.
Thanks

Adobe Bridge CS6 keeps zooming into previews

Hi guys. I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6 to browse some media content, but each time I preview a video, it plays zoomed in about 20% or so. It does this for all video clips, all sizes, no matter how I try to reconfigure the layout, use OUTPUT mode, FILMSTRIP mode, ESSENTIALS etc, it still shows zoomed in.
I'm running Win7 64bit with a GTX570 with updated drivers.
Please help. Thanks.

You mean 200 % instead of 20 %??
Use the loupe on an image and check what the default zoom percentage is, it should show 100 % and if it is at 200 % you have to use your mouse scroll wheel to set it back to 100 % (it runs from 100 % to 200, 400 and 800 %).
If your video files exceed the preview window you have to enlarge this window or if the behavior keeps this way consider to reset the preferences of Bridge holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.

Bridge cs6 why do the photos have poor quality in full screen preview ?

Hi
windows 7 64bit , bridge cs6
well i load 20mp or 22mp pixel photos , raw and jpg
i select the images i want to watch and with the spacebar i go in full screen preview
but in fit to screen they look bad , i mean with no crips , no details
but in full screen preview 100% the photos look great
why ?
is there an option to watch them in fit to screen , full screen preview with a great quality
thanks

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

Bridge CS6 - Preview Panel Zoom level

Greetings-
In using Adobe Bridge CS6 (w/latest updates as of 06/13/2014), when previewing video files, the preview panel will automatically zoom into the video. I've tried resetting the preferences (Holding down control while starting), resetting the workspaces - this has not worked.
I saw in another thread where the author mentioned a "zoom toolbar" but this only refers to the thumbnail panel - NOT the preview panel.

I'm running Bridge CS6 64bit
I'm sorry, am a Mac user and rarely use movies. Although a .MOV file shows without problems in my preview window. And your screenshot only shows part of the workspace, maybe try again with the whole screen and the preview window filled with zoom?
Try another workspace and even try to reset preferences again, sometimes it needs more then once to solve a problem. And Windows is very critical for the use of correct graphic card drivers but that is out my league I'm afraid.

Bridge CS6 Previews of raw-files have bad (pixelated) quality after editing.

I'm having problems with using Bridge for browsing my pictures. Preview quality of edited raw (nef) files is terrible. It looks like a very low quality jpeg. The untouched NEF's are fine, and saving the edited NEF as PSD also gives a perfect preview.
Purging Cache doesn't work.
I'm using:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 x64
2x Monitor 1920 x 1200
Photo's made with Nikon D800E (7360 x 4912 px)
See screenshots of settings. Any Suggestions?

What I find frustrating is:
1. Raw previews look like crap compared to the file itself.
2. Its possible to generate decent previews by a complicated purging-process.
I can imagine you are frustrated.
There are two differences on my set up so I can't check, first I use a Mac and you are on Windows and I use Canon and you Nikon.
However it should not result in this much visible flaws in the preview.
There can be a lot of cache files but Camera Raw Cache is something completely different then Bridge Cache.
Camera Raw is a .dat file and contains some info from the raw settings and probably other stuff that I can't find, it states being a video file but you can't play them.
Bridge cache are jpeg files that you can view, even without Bridge, for example they can be opened in PS itself without problems.
If you have set to build all at 100% then it will generate jpeg files in the original size at a high quality jpeg setting.
As said, I have a Mac but Yammer or Curt can provide you with the correct path to find the Bridge Cache folder yourself.
On my System this is in the user Library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere is a folder called cache. This folder contains 4 folders.
- 256 : contains the thumbnails, very small files (in the range of 10 to 50 kb)
- 1024 : contains the HQ previews, relatively large files (500 KB to 3 MB, depending on the files itself)
- data : a text file containing all sorts of info, don't know what exactly but is a text file that also can grow to several 100 MB
- Full : in here are the 100 % previews settled and they can grow to huge proportions ( around 10 MB for 18 MP files, depending on file size and content etc)
If you have set to keep 100 % previews in Bridge prefs this last folder (full) will be taking a lot of space on your disk
If you also have set to export cache to folder it creates same size (hidden) files with this cache in the folder itself.
I never understood the need for export cache to folders for several reasons, first and most important, I had a longstanding bug preventing me from doing so (error message about overwriting a CacheT file) but also each version of Bridge has a different Cache format and you can't read older cache files. Also reading the cache file (especially when on DVD etc) takes a very long time. For purpose of needing to view archived files on external devices you better select the 'Prefer Embedded' option, works faster ten reading earlier exported cache.
Not sure how you did purge the Bridge Cache but in your case I would Quit Bridge and find the equivalent Cache folder on Windows (Yammer, Curt?).
manual delete this Cache folder with all its content and restart Bridge.
This provides you with a new, fresh but very empty cache file. You need to recache the lot for the previews.
If you are not sure just try it for experiment, move the old folder outside the library and try it. If it does not make any difference just Quit and replace the old file

FULL SCREEN PREVIEW WITH SPACE-BAR INTERMITTANT/BUGGY.Ref. Bridge CS6/5.0.2.4:

Ref. Bridge CS6/5.0.2.4:
Win-7-64
I've been using the Space-bar for Full Screen Preview for years, & thousands of times with no problems whatsoever.
Suddenly it's become intermittent, sometimes it works "normally", other times I have to tap the Space Bar several times---The image "jitters" on the screen, & eventually works---sometimes takes "a few" taps, sometimes a half dozen or more.
Purging Cache didn't help, nor did replacing the Keyboard with another one.
I don't recall if the CS6 disk has a Bridge "Repair" function.
Regards,
Leigh

I deleted Preferences---Seems to be working now.

Is there a Refresh Preview option in Adobe Bridge CS6 (mac)?

Hi,
Just been doing a short tutorial on creating a web photo gallery with Bridge CS6..I notice in the tutorial that there are two options for preview ie: preview in browser and refresh preview.
Try as I might I cant seem to find refresh preview..I have to keep opening a new browser to see preview..
Does CS6 Bridge have this option or is it only preview in browser?
if it does have refresh preview how do i find it?
Im using the MAC version of cs6
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

my key key point is i would like to be able to preview a pdf photo gallery in bridge instead of having to go back & forth to a browser..
As said, not much experience with Web gallery but I do do recall the difference for CS6. The refresh Preview button indeed has been removed and it seems to have something to do with difficulties using the Opera browser and also something with Flash in Bridge before but now I'm on very thin ice so don't shoot me if I'm wrong.
So sadly enough you are bound to use the default browser for your previews instead of the output preview use before CS6
On the other hand it is also showing how other people will see in. in a real life browser
