CS3 Browse presets

I have just installed CS4 web premium on my iMac. I didn't upgrade After Effects so am still using CS3.
When I go to Browse Presets... from the Effects palette, Bridge CS4 opens, but the path to my presets is not working. It is opening at the last viewed folder on my HD.
Can this be fixed please?

Thanks for your reply. In Bridge, ctrl (right) clicking on files gives you the option to Open With...
It turns out that following a response from Adobe support, AECS3 is NOT compatible with Bridge CS4. It led to me having to re-install Bridge CS3
Re-installling Bridge CS3 was a lengthy affair with a lot of disc swapping involved. I doubt I am the only Adobe user with this issue & anticipate as the roll-out of CS4 becomes more widespread, other users who have After Effects CS3 as a standalone product may need to be advised not to remove Bridge CS3.
The methods of applying/placing presets from Bridge CS4 is not compatible with AECS3 & this broken path link resulted in considerable down-time for me whilst repairing the problem caused by me removing Bridge CS3.
I am surprised that in this case, Adobe has not considered AECS3 users may through the installation of CS4 web or design suites upgrade Bridge & lose functionality if they remove Bridge CS3.

  • "Browse Presets" in Bridge Problem

    "Browse Presets" from within Premiere and AE does not open Bridge. I have to open Bridge, but i cannot get the effects and presets thumbnails to animate in Bridge.
    Double-clicking on the preset DOES place the effect on the desired clip - no problem there..

    I've never seen that option available for Premiere.  Only AE.

  • After Effects:CC, Shift+F9 stopped working, and Browse Presets does nothing

    While working with my Easy Ease, the SHIFT+F9 just no longer works or hasn't since installation. SHIFT+CTRL+F9, or F9 work as intended.
    (I checked the pref text file for my keyboard short cuts and SHIFT+F9 is assigned correctly)
    Now when I create a preset then wish to view or browse my presets I click Animation > Browse Preset, and nothing happens.
    (Made a shortcut to my preset folder)

    In CC you have to install Bridge separately. That will fix the browse presets problem.
    The answer to your other question is down about 3 or 4 topics in this forum.

  • Distribution of InDesign CS3 Print Presets

    Is there a way to "mass" distribute InDesign Print Presets for InDesign CS3?
    Have a large list of Print Presets saved on a server. Would like to "push" them out to over 20 production Macs with CS3, using something like Apple Remote Desktop. Each Print Preset that exists on the server are also on one specific Mac. Each has a unique name. But can NOT find these names when doing a search on the Mac. Where are they actually being stored?

    The CS3 print presets are stored in the ID Preferences (~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/ Version 5.0/InDesign Defaults).
    Here is a link to an InDesign Secrets article which talks about how to export the presets to a .prst file:
    This article covers CS and CS2, but I'm guessing it's the same for CS3.

  • Browse Presets...missing templates

    Hi I downloaded the cs5 production premium from here but seem to be missing all of the presets and templates that should come with it. When i click browse presets, it opens bridge, but nothing appears. Could somebody help me out here please?

    I didn't ask about Bridge. I asked if you can see the text animation presets in the Effects & Presets panel. I'm trying to determine whether the animation presets are there, but the connection to Bridge is what's broken.
    Also, you said 'text animation templates'. Are you referring to animation presets or template projects? They are very different things.

  • InDesign CS3 PDF Presets disappeared

    One of my Macs that has been working fine for a while has suddenly lost it's PDF Presets. I should maybe say misplaced, as they are available in the File>Adobe PDF Presets drop-down menu, but not via the Print dialog.
    Dual 2.3 G5, OS X 10.4.11, InDesign 5.0.4, Acrobat 7 instead of 8 due to Quark, Quark 6.52

    I ran through the usual suspects; repair disk permissions, update OS and CS3. No luck. I stubmled upon the link below, again, and manually set permissions for the Application Support folder. It works again (for all accounts).

  • How to save CS3 print presets?

    Greetings,
    Here is my issue: When I go to the print dialog and choose save preset, I make the changes ( I want a tabloid preset that selects tray 4 from our Splash server/Docucolor 12 setup) but when I select the "Printer" button and choose "Paper Feed" and switch it from Auto select to Tray 4, it won't retain my Tray 4 setting. It remembers everything else. This causes the print job to go to the error queue with the error "no 11x17 paper trays installed" - when there are and paper is in there.
    I want to be able to share this preset with the other designers in the office.
    Mac OS 10.4.11/Adobe CS3 Design Standard
    Any thoughts?

    Are the optional trays listed in the printer setup for your printer? Maybe they need to be activated.

  • Save InD CS3 Print Presets

    I am running CS3 Premium under Win XPro. I have just received my upgrade to CS4. Do I need to do anything special to save my print presets in InDesign CS3 for use with CS4 before I install?

    Homeboy,
    You specifically asked if you needed anything special to do this. (I read do but my mind processed if you needed anything) I informed you first that you did not. Next, I described the process with the tools you already had. (InDesign)
    To top it off, Peter comes and steals my thunder. I'm reporting Peter's post as abuse.
    BTW, all of this typed with a .
    I'm glad Peter's post navigated you through my befuddled mind.
    Buko… so… we meet again.

  • InDesign CS3 Print Presets

    Have a print preset that creates a PDF w/thumbnails, used successfully in CS2, which put the PDF file on the desktop. Loaded all our print presets into CS3, looks like file was created, but cannot for the life of me figure out where the file went! Looked everywhere in Finder ... any ideas?
    (Would love to export to PDF w/thumbnails, but I don't see a way to do that?)

    No, that setting only puts the thumbnails in the side bar.
    I'd love to see your script that included them as an extra page. Can you share? Oh, wait, I think I misunderstood, You mean you want to print what amounts to a contact sheet of PDF pages.
    Your script may have some code that is CS2 specific (thought I'd expect it throw an error) which could be corrected by one of the folks who write scripts.
    Another possibility is doing it out of bridge, but I don't know what that would take, either.

  • CS3: My Presets folders are missing

    I haven't done duo/tri/quadtone in some time and just went trying to load the presets. There's a "Duotone" folder in Presets, but it's empty.
    In fact, Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets is populated with empty folders.
    Will I have to reinstall? How can I be sure they get installed this time?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's a CS3 bug. CS3 took you to the wrong location. Click load; then navigate to Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets.

  • CS3 "browse" click on image launches CS5 even when CS5 is closed

    I have both CS3 and CS5 (the latter with the 12.0.1 update),  installed on my iMac running 10.6.4..  I understand that I cannot have both CS3 and CS5 open at the same time.
    I am working on a personal project in CS3 and would like to complete some pp and  printing in CS3, but  when I click on an image in CS3 Bridge, it launches CS5, even though CS5 is not open, and won't let me work or print  in CS3.  I quit CS5 again, and start over but the same thing happens. What am I doing wrong ?
    Thanks..... Carolyn

    My tech came today and solved this problem for me. 
    I knew that you can only have either CS3 or CS5 open , not both.  The problem was that if I was using CS3 and doubled clicked an image in a folder to open it, CS5 took over.  So here's what solved the problem.
    With only one of the programs open, open the folder with the images you want in either CS3  or CS5.  (Or I guess CS4 if you have that).  Then click on the image you want to open to highlight it. ( Don't double click to open it.)  Go to File > Open With >  choose either CS3 or CS5 from the drop down menu to open the image.  That's it. 
    After installing CS5, that seems to be the default program, so that is why double clicking on an image in CS3 automatically reverted to the default CS5 to open the image on my Mac.
    Thanks to my tech for figuring this out for me !

  • [CS2/CS3] - Browsing all inline graphical objects

    Hello,     I have a text frame, where are placed inline graphical objects (square, circle, ...) and I want to browse all these objects.<br/><br/>
    Sample:
    I have valid UIDRef to entire text frame, but when I use this code:
    InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> hierarchy(textFrameUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    int32 childCount = hierarchy->GetChildCount();
    value of childCount == 1, when I use recursive call to get child I am given also value "1" and this node has no children.
    Thank you for your help !

    Thank you for your answers,
       I followed your advices and I browsed code from "CodeSnippet", where is an access to get OwnedItemStrands.
    According the attached snapshot from Programming Guide (p. 375), I am able to get kSplineItemBoss, that is fine, but I need to skip from Text fundamentals to Graphical fundamentals. I need to be able to catch ISpread interface of graphical objects?
    Thank you, marxin

  • Loading Files into CS3 Raw Presets

    I went from window's xp to vista. When I would open a RAW file I would be able to click the presets tab to the right of the picture where I had loaded Camera Raw Effects. Now that I have switched to vista, I am not able to find how to do that again. Can anyone help me in loading my effects into the presets tab. I keep trying to load settings however it is only loading the one setting. Anyone else having this issue!!

    I tried to increase the ram on a new Mac Pro tower. That didn't work and this wasn't an issue on my G5 where I opened thousands of files in ACR via CS2 at one time and saved them as JPGS to an external drive.
    I haven't tried the image processor or Dr. Brown's. Although I'm familiar with them.
    What I would like to do is to continue using the program as I have used it in the past. Opening in camera raw and adjusting them and then saving them. Very simple. Very clean. No additional steps. No confusion for me or my assistants.
    But it appears to me that I'm going to have to take two step backwards to take one step forwards here.
    Or am I still missing something?

  • 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.
