Building animation previews for Presets

There's a helpful preview animated GIF that shows up in Bridge when I select a preset that shipped with AE. How can I build my own preview animation for 3rd party and custom made presets?

You render an animated GIF(for animated previews) or JPEG (for static previews) and fuse it together using the undocumented app.previewInject() command. There used to float around a script by Ko Maruyama that provides this functionality for everyone to use. I'm sure asking the mighty Google will turn it up.

  • I can't see the iPad option in the preview for the overlays or the folio builder.

    I can't see the iPad option in the preview for the folio overlays or the folio buider.
    I have the content viewer on my iPad and I am logged into it.  This was working before.  Getting a new version of the app does work.
    Please help.

    Hi Bob,
    I think there's still something amiss here.
    I have the v25 Folio Producer Tools for CS5.5 and the v25 Folio Builder panel. (I'm on 10.6.8 for reference.)
    I also have the latest v25 CV from the App Store, and with my iPad Mini plugged in, and the Content Viewer open, the option to side-load still isn't showing.
    I thought it might be because I also had a v24 viewer (custom built) installed, but that's not the case. I uninstalled both of them and just downloaded the v25 viewer from the App Store. The result was the same.

  • Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

    Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image  ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
    A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
    Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

    Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

  • After update to Camera Raw 8.x, Bridge CS6 can no longer build TIFF previews

    I just updated Camera Raw 8.x via Adobe updater.
    Even though this should only affect Photoshop, Adobe Bridge cs6 can no longer build previews for TIFFS.
    JPEGs still work.
    I purged the cache.
    Did not work.
    All TIFF thumbnails are half the size of regular thumbnails, and the preview is equally stamp sized.
    If you select a TIFF, no building of a preview is going on. The stamp sized preview just stays stamp sized.

    Solution found:
    This was a botched Adobe update.
    There has been already a whole thread about the Camera Update disabling many of Bridge CS6 features like previews of TIFFS.
    But, obviously, someone did a very poor job at Adobe, and still pushed the bad update out via Adobe update.
    Here is the solution of the problem:

    This was a blunder of the worst kind, and I wish I could bill Adobe for the time lost!

  • Preview for me on external Monitor (or Beamer)

    Hi,
    I build up a presentation with Keynote. All works fine an quick. But if I try to show the presentation with a Beamer an try to use the preview for me (2 small slides) I always have the preview on the Beamer. Regardless the position of the main monitor (Displays).
    What I have to do to use the preview on the display on my MacBook and the 100% picture on the Beamer?
    Thanks.

    I've taken this from another poster here on the forums (I don't recall who wrote it, and encourage the author to take proper credit):
    "1) In System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement: be sure that Mirror Displays is NOT checked; be sure that the Menu Bar is located in the monitor icon that represents your computer display.
    2) In Keynote Preferences > Slideshow: be sure that the button "Present on Secondary Display" is marked. This will direct the presentation to the projector (or whatever display you have for the audience).
    3) In Keynote Preferences > Presenter Display: be sure that the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information" is checked. This will put the presenter notes onto your computer display."

  • No previews for PSD docs in mac finder

    Hi Chris etal in the forum, I have no previews for just PSD docs in the mac finder for a week or so now. I can see other types of doc previews. I run snow leopard on a mac book pro that is about 2 years old. Oddly enough the trouble BEGan for me after running a normal maintainence script in ONYX (I clean the cashe about once a week or so). Could be coincidence. I just installed the little "patch' from adobe but that does not help. I can see the previews in the com/4 view but in com/3, where I usually hang out, there is no preview and pressing the space bar for quick look is the same, with no preview. Can anyone give me advise about what to do? It would be greatly appreciated. aloha, Uhane

    I've been unable to find a Quick Look extension (Finder preview employs QL) which can build a composite from layers in a PSD.
    That's a shame, because the concept can work, though I can't imagine taking on the task of compositing layers just to make a codec or Quick Look extension, but hey - the authors who've done it do sell product.
    Here's a case where the FPV codec works fine:
    It's damned handy when the thumbnails and previews actually work, and frankly this kind of integration really is something Adobe ought to provide.  They removed their codec way back when they had trouble because they apparently didn't have the savvy to get it right, claiming at the time that Windows was giving them trouble.  Either those rules have changed or there are smarter people out there, as the software I have been showing above does seem to work without causing system faults or usability problems.

  • CS4 Locks up when building a preview/rendering

    Im on Windows XP running CS4 and I get a problem with it 'locking up' whilst building a preview or rendering.
    It doesnt happen everytime, but enough to be a problem.
    I have tried 'purge all' thinking this would 'free up' things, but no luck. When I get the lock up I hit 'control alt delete' and see the 'not responding' warning so I 'end task' only to presented with a 2 minute wait before the app finally clears.
    I never had this problem with my previous version (6.5)
    Any ideas whats causing it and can I do anything about it?

    I never had this problem with my previous version (6.5)
    Apples and Oranges. CS4 is a whole differnt beast with probably 40% or more being completely rewritten compared to 6.5. The behavior you describe doesn't sound unfamiliar, though. It mostly happens with compressed formats that are not 100% to AE's taste. It then kinda dumbly buffers as many frames as it can and when it needs to flush them to load new ones, it seems to hang for a while. Anotehr reason could be simply not enough space in the MediaCache folder, so conformed media cannot be stored persistently. This can be further compounded by using OpenGL. What footage do you use? In any case, look into disabling OpenGL and cleaning out the Media Cahce from the prefs as a first step, the nlet us know, if the issues persist.

  • Building smart previews much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5

    Building smart previews is much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5.
    Creating a smart preview from a DNG (Fuji X-E1 raw file) takes about 12 seconds.
    Enabling/disabling GPU accelaration does not really make a difference.
    When monitoring the Lightroom process with Process Explorer the GPU usage is always 0.
    Below is my system specification.
    Anyone got some idea why this might be?

    I know that is the official line but copying speed is fine in Windows 8 under Parallels. I have the latest Windows 8 Broadcam driver installed for the network adapter in Boot Camp and everything else works fine.
    I can download a file from the Internet 10x faster than I can from my Airport disk in the next room in Boot Camp!

  • How to build an .exe for cFieldPoint on a PC ?

    Hi all,
    A couple of weeks ago I installed a system with a compact FieldPoint running a in RT mode (cFP 2020 and LV 7.1.1).
    To load the .exe on the cFP, I connected my PC to the cFP (ethernet), selected the cFP as execution target for LabVIEW and then opened the application builder. I assume this is the normal way to do... but is this the only way ?
    In fact, my customer is asking for some more features, so my question is quite simple :
    Can I build an .exe for the cFP on my PC (without connecting to the cFP target), mail it to the customer and tell him to replace the .exe file on the module ?
    Thanks for any help
    When my feet touch the ground each morning the devil thinks "bloody hell... He's up again!"

    Hi Kahlid ,
    I noticed you were reply someone on pretty much close to same problem whatever i am having , I am working on LabVIEW8.2 with cFP. I created a project with an executable (run from My Computer),  the other executable is running in the field point , I used shared variable to transfer data from field point to host program. Now I want to Uninstall LabVIEW from the same computer but want to keep MAX  and one .exe file to run host VI. How to do that , any  suggestion about copying or moving only .exe file ? or lets say if I want to run the same program in another new PC with same Field Point hardware and program how to copy/install executable in the new PC?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Faiyaz Syed

  • Aperture reprocesses previews for all videos every time I open it

    Hello,
    I use Aperture to organise all my videos shot on Canon 7d and an old HD Cam (705 vids, 381GB). Whereas my stills are stored in the aperture library, the videos are imported into eparate folders named after each project inside one master video folder.
    I do this because it is an easy way to work with all of them in FCP (X), importing them without moving them, keywords from the folders coming across (and also because  FCP used to incorrectly display the meta data- date and time imported shown as the file's creation details, when accessed via the aperture library menu from FCP, this bug has probably since been corrected)..
    After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not. It doesn't hang on any particular file or crash but (as it's a mid 2010 MBP) simply slows Aperture down below useable for a few mins until they are done.
    Post import processing set to camera previews, new projects always create previews ticked.
    What am I doing wrong please? Should I attempt to fix the database?
    Best
    Ben

    As a work-around -  hold down the shift-key, when launching Aperture. That will defer the generation of Previews, so you can start working immediately.
    What is your Aperture version and MacOS X version?
    After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not.
    Was Aperture the only thing you restored from a Time Machine backup? Or did you restore more of your system? If you reinstalled or upgraded the system, there may be now video codecs missing. In that case check, if reinstalling additional video codec (Perian, Flip-4-Mac, or similar) may help.
    If the reinstalled aperrture library has been created on a different mac, there may be permission problems after restoring from Time Machine. Check the permissions and ownership on your video folders.
    Are you touching the videos in any way, when using them in Final cut? Using stabilize or something? If the " last modiied " date is changed by Final Cut, this might prompt Aperture to recreate the preview.
