Effect and Content Panel Empty

HI
have iMac Intel Core i3 OS 10.6.6.
Bought Adope Photshop Elements Software with DVD, made full install, however the "Effect" and "Content" panels are empty.
No effects, no frames etc. to choose from!
Where is the stuff, how can I get it installed?
Many thanks
A from CH

Go to your hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>9.0>Locale>en_US (or wherever you are) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. The next time you start PSE don't do anything till the contents of the panels show up.
Note that you have 3 library folders: system>library, your username>library, and the one at the top level of your hard drive. You want the last one.

Bridge cs3 and content panel not showing all images

I am using Bridge CS3
If I scale my panel images down very small all are visible. If I enlarge the images beyond the visible area, a scroll bar appears. However if I move the scroll bar to the end, it does not show the last two images. I cant get to them
Any suggestions on what is happening

Jacj,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem. I am faced with same problem as detailed by you and here:

Having problems with effects and having to unlock panels to get them to work?

I am having problems getting panels to work... the scrolling function is locked.... but when I undock the panel so it floats freely the scrolling function comes back--this happens with the effects and project panels (prbably others as well).... then sometimes they will stop working and I have to redock the panel to get it to work! This is a real problem at the moment. When I put a video effect on a clip on the timeline the down arrow will not function... so I can open up the effect and make the settings I want. I have a .3pg file from a camera phone that needs to be rotated!
I am running CS4 with Matrox card. By next week I will be upgrading to CS5... but my computer needs to upgraded...will be doing this next Tuesday.
My comuter properties are as follows Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit operating system

Okay... so I closed Premiere and restarted it.... no the down arrows work... but there is a pregnant pause before the effects function opens or when I close it there is a pause. Not sure why1 This isn't heavy intensive stuff I am doing.

Effects and presets

Animation presets in After Effects using the Effects & Presets panel.
I use After Effects CS6 and try to make a animation preset and get this message:
After Effects warning: Adobe Bridge is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature.
I am new to After Effects, but does this mean, that I have to purchase Bridge to use any animation presets ?
Are there no built in Animation Presets in the After Effects CS6 ?
I have ticked in the Show Animation Presets, but I still can not find any.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Chears.

If you have not installed Bridge or it is out of date, you can find animation presets in the Effects and Presets panel. Just search snow there and you'll find:
By the way, any animation presets you create will be also available here if you store them in the default directory. Custom animation presets will not have a preview mode in Bridge. In my entire 20 years of using AE I probably have browsed animation presets about 5 times using Bridge. I know some prefer that method, but I find the Effects & presets panel much more useful.

How to get more efficient After Effects and Mocha Integration?

Hello All
Is there a way to open a previously created Mocha AE project from AE? I am working on a shot that needed tracking and each time I stopped and then came back to the project, I had to open AE, open the AE project, click the clip in the composition, click animation, click track in Mocha AE and then cancel Mocha asking to start a new project and then click file, recent files and choose the appropriate Mocha project.
This works but is really dumb.
I also understand this is the bundled version and that Imagineer really wants me to buy the full version. If I get enough projects to justify it, I will. Currently the bundled version is fine. Just need a shot that AE couldn't handle stabilized.
What would be even better is if AE saw the Mocha program as an effect. Click a clip and then apply Mocha AE Tracking from the effects and presets panel. And then be able to do the track in the Mocha interface and then using the effects controls tell it to apply the track as either stabilization, corner pin data or whatever from the AE interface when the clip is selected.
Does anyone else think this would be a much better way of using Mocha? Am I the only one who feels this way? Was there something I missed in creating my project?

Thanks for the reply but... I think maybe I might not have communicated my thoughts correctly.
I am working on a video that is going to be 1/2 hour long. Part of my footage is from a handheld camera. One section of the footage needs to be stabilized. So I right click on the clip in Premiere and replace with an After Effects Composition.
Now I tried to track just using AE but that was a wash. So I figured I would track it in Mocha. Then I spent at least 1/2 an hour looking for Mocha in my start menu and on my hard drives in places that programs usually reside. Then when I didn't find it I went to the Creative Cloud site (I am a subscriber) and checked to see why I was having a hard time finding it. Then I got a little panicked trying to find out if it was still bundled with CS6 as I couldn't find mention of it there. The Imagineer site said it was, but it was not in my start menu and I couldn't manually find the executable where I expected it to be.
So then after a short Google search I found that it was on the animate menu in AE. (Whew )
So I opened the AE project I had created for tracking the clip and clicked animate and saw that the track in Mocha AE was grayed out. (oh boy...) I immediately went to the edit menu and clicked preferences, general. I looked through the choices and tried to find where I was supposed to "turn on" Mocha. Couldn't find anything related.
So I selected the clip in the composition timeline. Chose Animate and then the choice was available and I clicked Track in Mocha AE.
Now Mocha asked to create a new project. Basically took the defaults and then I had to wait a while as Mocha cached the clip. Once the clip was cached I got started finding the relevant area of the footage and set up the x spline for tracking on the first frame. Then I saved so I could start again the next day without having to wait and went to bed happy.
The next day when I was ready to start tracking that footage again I tried to find Mocha in my start menu, I figured that maybe it would show up now because I had used it once. Didn't so I found it in Program files tucked away in a secret folder in the Adobe folder sets and created a short cut and double clicked it. It told me that I had to start it from inside AE.
So I opened the previous days AE Project and clicked the clip chose Animation and clicked track in Mocha. Mocha wanted to start a new project based on the clip I had to select in order to get the menu choice from inside of AE, so I canceled that and then Mocha opened and I chose recent files and the previous days project.
And then I waited again as Mocha re-cached the clip. I made sure everything was set up correctly, looked at the spline layer and felt I was good to go so I hit the forward track button. The clip has a frame length of 21752 frames. At frame 9199 I had to stop working and do other things. I stopped the tracking and saved the project.
The next day when I was ready to start tracking that footage again I opened the previous days AE Project and clicked the clip chose Animation and clicked track in Mocha. Mocha wanted to start a new project based on the clip I had to select in order to get the menu choice from inside of AE, so I canceled that and then Mocha opened and I chose recent files and the previous days project.
And then I waited again as Mocha re-cached the clip. I made sure everything was the same as I had left it the previous day and then found the end of the previous days work and moved Mocha's CTI to the spot where I needed to track from. I hit the track forward button. It told me the footage was different or too dark from previous frames and that it couldn't continue. HUH?
So I noticed that there was a different coloration on the frame timeline indicator. There was a blue section, where I had previously tracked and a red section, which I assumed meant it was untracked. I moved the CTI back into the blue section and hit track forward. Everything worked. Then I got to a section that had people obscuring the part of the shot that I was doing my tracking on. Time to create an exclusion x spline layer. I found the first frame where the people would become a problem and surrounded them. Everything was good even though it was taking 7 extra steps to get to the start of working on the clip each time. So I saved and went to bed.
Should I bother to tell you what happened the next?
The today when I was ready to start tracking that footage again I opened the previous days AE Project and clicked the clip chose Animation and clicked track in Mocha. Mocha wanted to start a new project based on the clip I had to select in order to get the menu choice from inside of AE, so I canceled that and then Mocha opened and I chose recent files and the previous days project.
And then I waited again as Mocha re-cached the clip.
This work flow is aggravating. I have to take extra steps, wait at least 5 minutes for caching each time and then wait for the actual track itself. I have used Mocha before and so I know how to use it, I know the different ways of getting the data to AE, but the problem is not the end of the workflow, it is getting to the start of the work each time I have to close the project(s) that is the problem.
This "workflow" is making me want to see if there is a better way or another program that will help in correcting shaky footage. Yes I get back to exactly where I left off, but the point is the amount of work to it takes to just start working on my project again. I wonder how anyone can tolerate the process.
Is there some magic menu choice or setting somewhere I am missing? Do you feel that this process is "normal"?

Keyboard shortcut to place cursor in Effects and Presets search box?

Hi!
Is there is a keyboard shortcut that will place the cursor in the search box of the Effects and Presets panel? Ctrl + 5 activates the panel, but I still need to click to get the cursor into the search box and be able to type my search. I have RSI and am trying to learn to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. My system is AE CS6 on Windows. I've searched the help reference on keyboard shortcuts and haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Lori

Too funny...I just found my own two-year-old question while Googling to find the solution (again). Is there a shortcut (or a way to create one) that will let me place the cursor in the search box of the effects and presets panel? I'm now on CC 2014, and still hate having to reach for my mouse every time I use the search. I can't believe I'm the only person who would love this shortcut...

Spry Accordion menu - How do you make tabs without content and make panel height fit the content?

I have an Accordion Menu on my site and I would like to put a tab at the top that links to my homepage when clicked, instead of sliding open to show a content panel. I don't have any extra info to put in the content panel, so it would look kind of redundant to have it there.
Also, each panel has a different amount of content, but they all default to the same height to fit the largest content. I want them to fit to the content of each panel. The only thing I've read said to set the height of the content panel to 100% in the CSS, but it didn't change anything.
Thanks!
Andrea
http://www.andreamutsch.com

You make it look so simple but it doesn't seem to be working for me...
My first thought with getting rid of the tab content was to simply delete it, but when I do that I get a warning that 'The structure of the accordian appears to be damaged'. Then when I preview none of the tabs will open.
This is what my accordian structure looks like with the tab content code deleted...
<div id="Accordion1" tabindex="0">

        <div class="AccordionPanelTab">design blog</div>
        <div class="AccordionPanelContent">2009</div>
      </div>
Also, getting rid of the height in the CSS had no effect (I did this before I did the above)
Below is my current CSS for the Panel Content
.AccordionPanelContent {
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;
    font-size: large;
    background-color: #633408;
    font-weight: normal;
    word-spacing: normal;
    text-align: center;
Also there is a note in the CSS that says this...
* Anyone who styles an Accordion *MUST* specify a height on the Accordion Panel
* Content container.
I'm not sure how accurate that is since I don't have a height in there and it worked (although not how I wanted) but I just thought I would throw it in.

Library empty: live App and content viewer

Hi,
I'm facing a serious problem as our folios of elektrospieler aren"t shown in the App (which is live on the store) nor the content viewer any more.
Library is updating within the branded App "Cannot actualize Library - An error occured" (Bibiliothek kann nicht aktualisiert werden - Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten).
http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/elektrospieler-games-magazin/id438669889?mt=8
I just updated the App with a binary that I build 1 month ago, but the error was there prior the update.
What can I do? I have no idea why the folios don't even show in content viewer?!
Thanks very much in advance,
Richard

Richard,
maybe, when the issues don't appear in the content viewer anymore this
might have to do with v21, wich requires you to set up the orientations you
want first and then fails to appear on the iPad if you have not added all
orientations.
if your folio is only one orientation and you switched to v21, the folio
settings need to reflect that.
maybe you can try with a new folio, look at the settings in the new folio
window.
this is my initial shot in the dark.
but if you can provide the product Id to James Roche, he might be able to
investigate further.

Combining image and text in accordion content panel

Hello,
I'm having difficulty displaying image and text together within an accordion content panel. What I need is a thumbnail photo of a staff member plus a short bio. I've put a panel together so it displays as needed in Live View, but not in IE8, Foxfire8, or Chrome. I'm using Dreamweaver 5.5, Spry 1.6.1, Windows 7.
Here's the code for the panel that includes an image not displaying:
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Stan Swiercz, Training Manager</div>
<div class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div class = "PanelImage"> <img src="/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/></div>
Bio text goes here</div>
</div>
Here's a link to a test page (ignore funky color variations, still settling those). The panel that is set to open should display an image floating left with text wrapping, as it does in Live View.
http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/people.html
I''ve double-checked documentation, help, and done searches, but can't find any information about what should be an easy thing to do. Any help out there?
Thank you very much,
George

The location of the image is http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/images/StanSwiercz.jpg (click the link to see the image)
This is the markup from your document <img src="/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/> which means that the image is located in the images folder which is located in the root directory.
Hence the image cannot be found by your document.
The following are possible solutions, please choose one only
change the location of the images folder to reside in the root directory
delete the leading slash from the link as in <img src="images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/>
change the link to an absolute value as in <img src="http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/>

Content panel (BR4) and CS4

I have a image file I work with in PS CS4 (example: 200 images); when I access Bridge, I get fewer than 200 images appearing
in the Content panel?? Are there some parameters in either CS4 or BR4 that need to be changed?? Or what else might be
the problem?? Appreciate your response's, George Poehlmann -- [email protected]

You mean a folder with 200 images?
Bridge displays the content of that folder according to your settings of the filter panel. If you have set for instance to show only the red label and the ones with 1 star rating it only shows the selected criteria. Bottom right of the filter panel is a small icon that clears all criteria in one time, clicking on a criteria selects it, clicking again deselects it.
It might also be a cache problem, so also try the menu view / refresh to refresh the content panel.

Music panel empty

My computer was stolen with installed premiere elements 12 on it. I bought a new computer and installed Elements on it from my disc. Second (and last possible) installation. Opened the program, everything seemed normal. However, Music panel on a toolbar where music and sound effects should be is empty.What to do now?

Thank you for the update with the good news that the Music Scores and Sound Effects finally appeared under the Music Tab of your Premiere Elements 12.
I have found the Content download concept applied to Premiere Elements 11 and 12 to be very disturbing.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: No Content Disc - Content Downloads from Adobe
It appears to go to its worse case when trying to get Music Scores and Sound Effects for the Music Tab.
If you have not already, please update 12 to the 12.1 Update via an opened project's Help Menu/Update. That would not be expected to have helped you with the Music Scores/Sound Effects matter, but it does get rid of the Text Styles issue that targets the Expert, not the Quick, workspace of 12.
Best wishes with your Premiere Elements projects.

Bridge CC - Content Panel looks different than Preview

Problem - Images in the Content panel look dull and desaturated. The view of the same image in the Preview Panel, as well as Photoshop CC, looks fine (ie, like I expect from working with these images in CS6). This applies to NEF, JPEG and PSD files. In the attached screenshot, note the distinct lack of red in the skin tones in the Content Panel compared to Preview. Blues look a little dull as well. This is a PSD file. This image is tagged sRGB, verified in the Metadata panel as well as in Photoshop CC.
I have read similar threads here (where all of Bridge was dull and desaturated), but I don't see anything that mentions the two panels in Bridge displaying images differently.
Background - 10 years as a pro photographer, and I know what I'm doing around a Mac and color management. I finally "upgraded" from CS6 to CC when I got my new Mac.
System -
Retina iMac w/Yosemite. Second monitor - HP LP2475w (Bridge sits on the HP monitor)
Both monitors have profiles generated with an i1 Display and the i1 Profiler application.
Both monitors are using their correct profiles
Steps Already taken (condensed)
1. Purge cache (multiple times throughout the process).
2. Check color cache and cache permissions.
3. Reinstall Bridge at the behest of Adobe support, even though this was a new install.
4. Check that "Always high quality" thumbnails is checked in Bridge (this seems to have no effect either way).
5. Check color settings - NA GP2 in Bridge. Interestingly, the same behavior is exhibited no matter what I select here.
6. Drag Bridge to the iMac display - everything now looks good. Drag back - now BOTH Content and Preview are desaturated. Will stay like this until Bridge is restarted.
7. Recalibrate the HP (Bridge) monitor. No change in behavior.
8. Verify no sidecar xmp for this image, to rule out ACR in the problem.
9. Open Output module to verify that the content panel looks the same way there (it does).
10. Investigate ~user/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CC/Cache/ folders. Wow, the preview for this particular image in /1024/xxxx LOOKS CORRECT (like it does in the Preview panel). So Bridge IS generating high quality previews correctly.
Thoughts -
1. This seems unlikely to be a monitor profile issue. Bridge itself is displaying the same PSD two different ways. A bad profile would make everything on that monitor look wrong, wouldn't it?
2. Some of my images sit on an external drive, but the screenshot here is from the internal mac drive, to try and rule that out.
3. It's not some strange issue with the HP monitor not displaying color evenly across it's surface - if it were, than the screenshot would not show the difference between the panels. I also moved the Bridge window around the display to further verify that color is the same across the whole panel.
4. Maybe Bridge ignores the profile for the content panel - but in the case of no profile, it assumes sRGB (or does it?) which is exactly what this image is. I have tried this with Adobe RGB images and the same behavior is exhibited.
5. Previews are being generated correctly, but do not seem to be what is read off disc to display in the Content Panel.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. My gut feeling is that for some reason, Bridge is not showing me the saved high quality preview in the Content panel. But why?

Is your file tagged? I.e. does it have the proper color profile embedded?
Is your monitor accurately calibrated and profiled?
What are your preferences in Bridge re previews and profiles?

Accordion content panels open on IE

I am using Spry 1.6.1. The Accordion works as advertised on Safari and Firefox. On IE all content panels are open. Clicking on them has no effect. A height value is specified in .AccordionPanelContent:
.AccordionPanelContent {
overflow: auto;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #FFFFCC;
In trying to make this work I have added arguments to the Accordion object constructor call as well:
var rssAccordion = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("rssAccordion",
{useFixedPanelHeights: true, enableAnimation: true, defaultPanel: 0});
I would appreciate any help.
Alan

I have the same problem but I, as far as I can tell, do not have any fatal errors (like open tags) anywhere.
http://www.radioimaging101.com
If ANYONE sees why IE is doing this please let me know... I have tested in Chrome (which I hear behaves a lot like Safari) and in Firefox... they both display it perfectly. I'm using IE 8, btw.
Please help!! Gracias!

How to make Spry Accordion Content Panel with a variable content fit

I have a problem. The content panel has a fixed length so I changed it to auto so I can view all the content of each panel. The problem is that the content panel takes the dimensions of the longest content and applies that to ALL the panels. So as you click from one to the other, some are practically empty with all the space, while others seem full.
The question is, is there a way to vary the size of the content panel so on one that has not a lot of content stays to that size. This is the way I have the CSS for that. How can I achieve the variable heights?
.AccordionPanelContent {
overflow: auto;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 4px 6px 15px;
height: auto;
background: url(../images/backgrcolor0033.png);
color: #FFF;
Thank you.

Effects and component skinning

Dear all,
I've got two (hopefully) simple questions - related to RichFaces - but probably not very RichFaces specific:
1) simpleTogglePanel contains a style class called: rich-stglpanel-body to modify the appearance of the body.
My question: Is it possible to modify the style without changing neither the application's CSS, nor the richfaces.skin, nor writing a custom style class? just e.g. by using style="rich-stglpanel-body.background-color:white;"> ?
2) I would like to enhance the simpleTogglePanel's look&feel with one of the rich:effect elements. This works just fine by using something similar to:
<rich:simpleTogglePanel switchType="client" label="Test">
   <rich:effect event="onclick" type="BlindDown" params="duration:0.5">
   <h:panelGrid columns="2">
      <rich:panel>
          Content and other JSF Components here
      </rich:panel>
   </h:panelGrid>
</rich:simpleTogglePanel>     Well as I'm using other jsf elements on the panel I'm having the problem, that the onclick event also affects their behaviour.
My question: So what I'm really looking for is to tell the simpleTogglePanel to use an effect onexpanding and onclosing. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it very much!
