Browse animation effects causing Bridge to freeze

Every time I select browse effects from the animation menu, Adobe Bridge launches (as expected).
When I navigate to the "Text/Blurs" folder and open it, Bridge freezes.
I know I can add an effect to my text without resorting to Bridge, but I'm following
Adobe's Classroom in a box and selecting this method to preview an effect is
causing Bridge to freeze.

Make sure your AE and your Bridge are up to date. There was a problem in earlier builds. Also, the Animation Effects previews in Bridge are resource intensive little buggers. Make sure that you have allocated an even number of MB of ram to other apps and you're not starving your system. If you only have 8 GB give 4 to other apps and 4 to AE, if you have 16 then you can give 4 to others and 12 to AE.

  • Document type .obj causes bridge to freeze

    headline sez it all. in bridge cs4, if i navigate to a folder that contains an obj - bridge freezes. if i remove that file type from folder all is well. bridge preferences doesn't appear to have a 'file type association' with .obj. if i change the application associated with .obj(now it's photoshop cs4) to another app like modo, bridge still freezes. is there a way to add a file type to bridge? how can i get bridge to accept this file type?
    thanks in advance!

    to bridge? how can i get bridge to accept this file type?
    If the file type is not in the list you can't add it your self I'm afraid. A
    quick search on Google told me that it is probably a 3D file?
    You have set it to open with PSCS4 but can you open the file in there? I
    doubt that but if so you should be able to view the same file in Bridge.
    Then there might be something wrong with that particular file. Do you have
    more files with the same file type?

  • 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.

  • Animation effects not playing correctly in captivate 6 (playing last frame first?)

    Hi there,
    Currently in captivate 6 I have a problem where when an item is coming in using an animation effect the image is flashing up very breifly, dissapearing then playing the animation as it should. it is almost as if it is playing the last split second first then looping round. This only applies to some of the items and not all of them, I have tried redoing them only for the same problem to occur. There is only 1 entrance effect playing on each item and there are 4 items on screen, the second and third images are the ones causing problems although the text and fitst image is fine. I have tried toggling sync with project. This also occurs both in publish and in preview
    Any other ideas?

    Hi Vish,
    All of the items in question are set to display for the rest of the slide and the effect lasts less then a second where each item is on screen for 10+ seconds so there is plenty of the for the entrance effect to play out.
    I have noticed however if I set all of the items with effects to start on the start of the slide the effect plays correctly but that means it isnt synced to the voiceover.

  • Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

    Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

    Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

  • Bridge CC freezes and I cannot reset preferences

    Built a new PC with Win 8.1. Downloaded CC. Bridge, which I use professionally, keeps stalling. Using arrow keys on keyboard to navigate photos doesn't work:  push an directional arrow key and Bridge goes into clocking mode (freezes while mouse cursor spins). Bridge has crashed multiple times causing my PC to reboot.
    The Adobe Help suggests resetting Preferences by pushing Shift+Ctrl+Alt. I do that and Bridge goes into clocking mode, but the reset preferences dialog never appears.
    Steps I've taken so far:
    The CC component is installed on my SSD drive, while all of the CC apps are on my WD Black hard drive. I noticed Bridge is using cache on the SSD. I created a new cache dir on the WD hard drive, but that didn't resolve anything.
    I disabled all startup scripts. No improvement.
    I uninstalled and re-installed Bridge. No improvement.

    Having spent my entire day troubleshooting, I have determined that I am combating 2 separate issues:
    1) Bridge CC freezing when navigating menus and photos, lengthy freezing when navigating photos in Content window with arrow keys. <-- RESOLVED
    2) Bridge CC and LightBridge CC crashing and causing PC to reboot when attempting to utilize cache containing RAW photos.
    For #1, I have nearly identified the culprit. I removed the brand new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 video card and uninstalled the GeForce 344.11 driver set, and am now using the onboard video (Intel Graphics HD). I re-installed Bridge CC and now the freezing has completely vanished. So the issue is either the latest driver or the GeForce card itself, or both. I plan to return the card.
    For #2, I think the issue is totally associated to the Adobe cache mechanism. Screenshot of LR error after LR crashed and PC rebooted...

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] Compositing causes screen to freeze in KDE 4.7 with Nouveau

    Hello,
    since the upgrade to KDE 4.7 screen gets [partial] freezes for several seconds (differs) especialy when some repainting is to be done (scrolling in Rekonq/KWrite, opening and closing tabs in Rekonq, playing video in KDE). Usually I can stil see moving the mouse, though the cursor doesn't change on links etc. Also repainting of plasma widgets freezes.
    I'm using nouvea driver for 7600 GS video card:
    multilib/lib32-nouveau-dri 7.11-1
    extra/nouveau-dri 7.11-1
    extra/nouveau-firmware 20091212-4
    extra/xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110726-1
    And get foloving in dmesg after a freeze:
    [43244.176746] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:00.0: vm flush timeout: 0x00000022
    and in xorg.log:
    [ 43235.667] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
    Everything is ok with disabled compositing, or with nvidia driver, thogh I do not prefer to use it since it lacks KMS and is proprietary.
    Any idea which splendid new feature of KDE 4.7 causes this? And how to turn it off so I can use compositing again? I tried diasbling new GL 2.0 shaders and setting worser filter in advanced Plasma settings but it didn't help.
    I'll happily provide more info, if I am pointed which one.
    Thank you.

    3-D is currently an unsupported use-at-your-own-risk feature in nouveau. That leads me to conclude that neither project (kwin or nouveau) can be blamed at the moment.
    I had irrecoverable freezes (had to ssh in and reboot) on my 9800 GT while playing videos fullscreen. Turning off the option to disable 3-D for full screen applications solved that problem for me. Compared to that, I'm okay with the temporary one-second freezes (which I see as well).
    Your best bet is to play around and isolate which effects cause the issues for you. Start with no desktop effects checked and work your way up, adding one effect at a time. Maybe you'll discover the culprit that way. Hope that helps.

  • Really frustrated with bridge cc freezing continuously

    I have been through the forums and have done everything from uninstalling and reinstalling, purging cache, reseting preferences, updating graphics software and so on but I cannot get bridge to work without it continuously freezing.  I had no problems with bridge before installing the cc version.  Would providing a dump file be helpful??
    Please help

    Hello, if you are on OSX 10.9 "Mavericks" and the Freeze occurs after startup (remember to share such informations in the future) , update the creative cloud application: Hi! The latest Creative Cloud application update, 1.4.1.351, fixes a permission problem that causes Bridge to shutdown directly after startup on OSX 10.9.x

  • Cant see effects in Bridge CS5

    As per the title here, I can't see effects in Bridge.
    Can anyone help?

    You don't preview effects, only animation presets and even then only the ones that are specially prepared. If those don't show up, reinstall Quicktime.

  • Bridge now freezes

    I have been using CS-5 extended for several years without any issues.  Bridge now freezes completely when any directory or folder change is attempted (small activity icon turning  on the bottom left of screen).   No mouse action will activate any part of the software.  The software works perfectly as long as a directory change is not attempted.
      My only recourse is to use Task Manager to end the entire program once the software freezes.  I don't want to completely uninstall PS.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Mini-bridge (from inside PS) does not work either as it's trying to access Bridge.
    Please respond asap with a solution.  CS5 continues to work flawlessly, and I don't know the cause of this bridge problem.  I have a complete virus suite and have not detected any problems on the PC.
    Thanks,

    I'm not sure that I understand about "files not being changed in the process."  Isn't a fresh install going to start the entire suite as it's new (out of the box)?  Are there remnants still remaining after a clean "uninstall" that will re-start the "new" bridge program with (the old) file interface errors?
    I have not uninstalled and re-installed the software suite as your "reset bridge" using the cntrl button during bridge start fixed my problem.
    Thanks for the ongoing,

  • Using Mavericks Spelling and Grammar in Pages document causes Pages to freeze. Must Force Quit. Mavericks spell checker works OK in Text and Emails. How can I fix this problem?

    Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
    Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

    Another autocorrect bug:
    I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
    I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
    Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

  • Bridge CS6 freezes when generating PDF output (windows 8)

    I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit) on a Windows 8 machine. I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file. I have to go to the Task Manager to quit. Sometimes the PDF file has been made successfully when I look for it. Other times not.

    I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file.
    How many files and how big are these files?
    What filetype do you use?
    Output (as Bridge itself) can be very processor demanding on a big task and enough RAM and free space left on start up disk.
    How much RAM and free space do you have?

  • Animation effects in PowerPoint for Mac

    I've searched all the online help, and looked in the MS Knowledge Base, but found nothing about how to apply animation effects across ALL slides in PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. I find it very tedious to visit each slide and each component (title and bullets) to apply my visual effect and sounds separately. There is a checkbox which allows me to apply a slide transition to all slides, but I've found nothing which allows me to apply the same animation effect to all titles in all my slides. How do I do that? I've applied my animation and sounds to the Master Slide, but that had no effect on the other slides.
