No Hopes for SMOOTH Video Playback in Adobe Bridge ?

Hi....
System Specs
MacPro Nehalem 16 CORES
32 GB RAM - 4TB RAID0
Lion 7.2
I have a bunch of video files that I would like to organize via Bridge.
Works ok but video playback is a slap in the face. Looks like jerky slow motion.
I have tried altering from hardware to software rendering. No remedy.
Bridge has been around for a long while and with each release the app actually performs worse.
Menus are ultimately slow in showing up and entering a folder with 16 video files (QT ProRes),
selecting them all, has Bridge freezing for 5 minutes supposedly creating previews.
Completey unuseable for video.... in my world !
So my question is this...
Are their any plans for implementing Video Capabilities in Bridge
or is some kind of 3rd pty. plug-in available that will enable Bridge to playback what ANY other app incl. the QUicklook and Finder can Playback.
Funny thing is that this whole app has been created to BRIDGE between apps created by adobe. If Bridge was a REAL bridge I wouldn't dare cross it.

It has always seemed that Bridge has been the stepchild of Adobe since its inception and that Adobe spends precious little effort and resources on it.
Remember that Bridge was born as nothing more than Photoshop's Browser. Nothing more.
Then, in a straight marketing stunt, Adobe decided artificially to lump together a number of totally unrelated applications into artificial "suites." These are in fact totally non-related applications that were artificially bundled by fiat of bean counters and marketers. The engineering teams for the individual point applications are totally independent from each other and are not only not in in the same building but in different cities, different states and, some, in different countries. They have pathetically little communication among themselves.
The humble Photoshop Browser was renamed Bridge and jerry-rigged to serve as some sort of go-between vehicle among the applications also jerry-ringed into artificial suites. (Definition of JERRY-RIGGED: organized or constructed in a crude or improvised manner <a jerry–rigged plan>.
Don't expect too much from Bridge, and don't complain about it too loudly, or you might find yourself among others who have been told, in effect, that "Adobe doesn't charge you for Bridge." As a "free" byproduct, you get what you paid for.
In this context, just look at what has happened to the value of Adobe stock in the last five years: –28.20% (minus).
Compare that to Apple during the exact same period: +358.43%.

I'm using a low res. video as a reference movie in a 5.1 project. 23.98 fps, H.264. Video playback is very choppy. In the video playback window the Resolution setting in the pulldown menu is greyed out. It's set to Full Res. How do I change this setting? Also any tips for achieveing smooth video playback?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you with the video problem. The only time I tried this recently, I couldn't get the damn video to play in Audition at all, so I gave up; fortunately it didn't matter. The only thing I know is that the video engine it uses has been changed at some stage (probably CS5.5) - heaven only knows what the implications of this are.

Why is there no scaling for high resolution monitors in Adobe Bridge CC?

Why is there no scaling for high resolution monitors in Adobe Bridge CC?
Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and Indesign CC have 200% scaling for high resolution monitors in their preferences panel but Bridge CC does not, when will this feature be added to Bridge CC Adobe???

Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

NEW KERNEL V47, and a new hope for 720p video play...

thats right people, after matan's strange disappearing, we now have pali getting us new kernels, and his first kernel with loads of new awesome patches is in the extras devels ( v47 ) , you can try it out, same installation method as the old v46 (or v42 from the extras ), and same overclocking method too .
and now he is working on a 720p video playback patch, he already got the 720p media codecs (finally) and many users reported that they are able to play 720p mpeg4 videos on the n900 (this patch isn't in the extras devel version....yet ! ) so now we don't have a hardware problem to play 720p videos, the problem is in gstreamer (video player in the default media player) but thank god, we have MohamadAG to work on that openmedia player so we can finally get 720p video playback .
and if we can play 720p videos, we can shoot them too .
and i can say that after 40 minutes of hard usage of this new kernel my phone seems a lot smoother and abit faster than the old v46 or v42 with the same overclocking settings .
Use Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get
Step 1 Installation:
In Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux Kernel for power user
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-flasher
Step 2 Multiboot support:
First see step 1.
Then in Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux Kernel for power user (boot image)
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-bootimg
this is not for noobs right now, but it will be soon, and it might become a part of the cssu .
and btw if you get a 400 degrees temprature in conky don't panic, its a false value, its 40

Best settings for ipod video playback on TV

I would like to know which video format is the best for a very good video playback on TV using ipod video ? And which settings choose for the video to have the best possible quality on TV, while still being able to store a lot of videos on the ipod.
I use a 1.67ghz powerbook, and the convertion process is so long, is it normal for it to be that long. I thought that powerbook were suppose to be really fast. Would buying more ram help ?
thank you

If you're using QuickTime Pro's "Movie to iPod", then you're getting very good video quality. The reason why this takes so long is that instead of just compressing the video, it first examines the entire video looking for places that may be a little more difficult to encode (cross fades, cuts, high motion) then spending more time on them in the second pass. So, yeah, it's normal to take that long, but, in this case, that's how you get the best output.
Depending on your source (if it's from a VHS tape or something like that) you might want to download MPEG Streamclip and try H.263 or H.264 with only one pass. It's a bit faster and the results still look pretty good so that may suit you as well.

I may have a solution for choppy video playback for iTunes Windows users

My setup:
- Intel NUC (i5)
- 8gb memory
- Intel 5000 Graphics with 1GB memory (share of system memeory)
- iTunes 12
- iTunes library on NAS via GigaLan
Had problems with very choppy and freezing HD video playback in iTunes and tried everything... Every other player works fine.
1. downgrade audio playback
2. played with Quicktime settings
However, I think I might have a workaround. You need to do the following,
1. Install Quicktime 7
2. Install iTunes
3. Download ffdshow (Sep 2014 version) and install the codecs: pretty much leaving all do default
4. Set audio quality in Sound and Quicktime options in control panel, and iTunes to 16bit 48k
5. In advanced options of Quicktime in control panel, deselect "Direct 3D" & "Enable directdraw on seondary display", ONLY tick "enable directdraw accerleration"
Well, at least this works for me for now.
HOWEVER!!!
@Apple! You need to address this issue once for all, I can't believe there is no solution. As a paying customer who buy quite a few of your movies in iTunes, I expect to have a harssell free experience. Consumers should NOT have to go through all these troubles trying to fix a product you have released and making billions out of.
Reason why I switched from Android to Apple for my phones and tablets is becasue of the seamless user experience, regretfully I have to admit, this advantage is quickly going away. The amount of glitches in your recent ios updates and itunes are simply unacceptable.

Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

Video playback on Adobe Premiere Elements 8 no longer works

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS
Lenovo T420
i5 Second Gen Proc
8GB RAM
Premiere Elements 8.0
Latest Version Update and Driver Update Installed
Majoirty of video pulled from Flip Camera
What other information is necessary?
I've been working on a video for the last couple of months, and have about 15 minutes of footage. Recently when I opened up the project to work on the last 25% the playback feature stopped working (no sound or audio when play is pressed). I noticed that background rendering was disabled so I re-enabled it, but I am still facing the same problem. I've saved my video in several formats including AVI in hopes that I will be able to finish it at a later date. I am only slightly technical, so please don't waste your time correcting me (I'm sure I've made several mistakes and provided information that is not pertainent to the issue at hand)! Just looking for help, so I can finish my project.
Thank you in advance!

Great news, and actually much better than I had expected - kudos to Lenovo!
Video (and audio) drivers are very fragile things. In regular computing, they are only moderately important, but with programs, like PrE, 3D and CAD apps., the program must interface very deeply with the video driver, and it must be stout. There are many things that can "break" the video driver, and a common one is OS updates. Most Windows OS's are still set on the default update options - fully automatic. This takes place behind the scenes, and the user is seldom aware that the OS has been updated at all. Suddenly, a program like PrE stops working correctly, while most other programs seem to be just fine. Immediately, the user looks to PrE, which is **** just what it did before the OS update - running perfectly fine, but between the program and the Video sub-system, that driver has broken, so things go wrong.
One workaround is to use a System Restore Point, from before the OS update that broke the driver, BUT OS updates are a very, very good thing. Catch-22, if one cannot install an updated driver, that works well with the update status of the OS.
Glad that you found a better solution - new and improved video driver. While you are at it, you might want to check for a new audio driver too, as they are just as fragile, and can bring PrE to its knees.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem with video playback in adobe premiere pro CS4

Whevener i am to put something into my video. Via it be either A fraps recorded video or a video shot by my camera... i put it in the library and drag it to the stage. then when i play it in Premiere the video just stays as a still picture but the audio plays. It does this with 2 methods i tried (Fraps and my Photosmart M537 Camera). I asked My uncle (who had the same problems with CS3) and he said that hes pretty sure theres something wrong with the Codec. I think thats it because when i put in my video that i had recorded with Hypercam 2. it worked fine. Could anybody please help me?

1 - search the forum for fraps - many problems, few successes
2 - what CODEC is used for your Photosmart M537 Camera?
If that is a STILL camera which has a video mode, you most likely need to convert to DV AVI type 2 with 16bit 48khz sound

CHOPPY FLASH VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH ADOBE FLASH VERSION 10-11

I'm having a problem as described in a previous post re: Choppy flash videos, pictures, etc.. Youtube, megavideo any videos viewed online appear fine at first and then after 10-15 mins, start showing choppy. The audio was not a problem before, but I have noticed that it is being affected as well. I saw some posts on another forum a few days ago that recommended disabling flash player 11 in my chrome browser plugins and enabling verion 10 (which was available, but has since upgraded) and version 10 was working fine until it upgraded to 11 again. Now I have no options to revert to version 10 again.
My system info is below:
Sony:
OS - Windows 7
64 bit
Browser Chrome 16.0.912.77
Browser FireFox 9.0.1
Browser IE 9
Browser Safari 5.1.2
Flash Player 11,1,102,55
McAfee (came with the upgrade of flash player)
This is very frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, rebooting the browser, my pc, deleting cache files and cookies...NOTHING IS WORKING. CPU usage is between 20-35% when a video is active in my browser. I think that is normal, but I know that the choppy playback is not and it's only getting worse. Please HELP!
I hope this NEW POST will suffice as per your requirements.

When the video is choppy, how much CPU and RAM usage is occurring? Do you have a graphics control panel that shows how much video RAM is in use when the video is choppy?
Do you have a list of sites and videos where the video is choppy?
If you don't want the McAffee add-on, remove it.

Hardware acceleration for AVC video playback

Hello,
I looked for Adobe forum for developers but failed, so forward me please if this is not right place for the question.
We are developing a software that cuts out some unwanted scenes (such as advertisements) from a video (AVC inside MP4) with partial reencoding of the source. The result video contains some original GOPs (with a pair of SPS/PPS) followed by several reencoded GOPs (with another pair of SPS/PPS). Finally the video is played back with Adobe flash (e.g. StrobeMediaPlayback). The problem is that such videos are not played correctly with the latest Google Chrome (35.0.1916.153) and Adobe flash (14.0.0.125) on some configurations (e.g. Windows 7, 32-bit version, Nvidia card) when "Hardware acceleration" is switched on. Even if the second SPS differs from the first by even one parameter the second part of the video is not decoded. What does "Hardware acceleration" mean in this case? DXVA? Or does a browser decide what technology to use? Are there some known restrictions?
Thanks

OSMF is a framework built entirely in Actionscript 3.0, which means that it can only take advantage of those features which are enabled by the underlying Flash Player. So no additional hardware acceleration. That being said, we work closely with the Flash Player team and the FMS team, so any new features they add should find quick support in OSMF.

Frozen Video Playback in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

I have been using the trial version of Premiere Elements and have been thinking about buying it but I have had some problems with it. When I go to play the video that I imported from my DV camera, the viewer plays a few frames and suddenly freezes. I can hear the audio but the video does not come back until I pause it. Then it just shows the last frame. I tried playing it on other programs such as windows media player and Ulead video studio, and it works fine. I am impressed with the power of Premiere Elements and am looking forward to editing on it if I can figure out what is wrong.
Here are my system specs.
Processor
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor
Ram
2 GB
Operating System
Windows 7 Beta

Display
NVIDIA GeForce 6200
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
When I go to play the video that I imported from my DV camera, the viewer plays a few frames and suddenly freezes. I can hear the audio but the video does not come back until I pause it.
You say "Import," but do you mean "Capture?" These are two totally different operations.
Can you tell us more about these AV files? The freeware program, G-Spot, will get you those details.
Similar often happens, when one is not working with DV-AVI files, and often are Importing MJPEG files. For those, you will want to get either the Morgan, or the MainConcept MJPEG CODEC. If not, more details will be helpful.
Good luck,

Cure for studdering video playback?

I am importing short 3 minute movies from iMovie into GB3 but the video track studders when I try to play it. I have tried making a QuickTime 'full quality movie' as suggested then opening into GB3 but problem persists.
Interesting, if I 'save' a video clip in GB3 it will play fine until I press 'stop' then it will studder again when I press 'start'. The same studdering happens should I add any audio fx in a new track under it.
I just read an article in the new MacWorld by Christopher Breen saying this is a problem with long podcasts, but I have it with my very short ones.
Is this driving anyone else bonkers?
Thanks

This is only a guess but I'm thinking that this is more related to length of video, number of audio tracks, audio effects. Your asking a lot of your hard drive, RAM and processor when your playing back video while recording audio and using effects. Your processor is plenty fast enough to do it's part but your hard drive is working pretty hard reading video/audio track and writing your audio tracks. If your ram is getting full something has to give, most video editors have a video quality adjustment that can lower the quality viewing video during editing. But the final product is fine. You could try using shorter clips and freezing tracks that are finished or a external hard drive that would probably do the most good.

How do i add buy now buttons for paypal on thumbnails in Adobe Bridge photoalbums

I have a series of photographs which i am selling online. I have found Bridge to be wonderful in creating a photoalbum but can't add the buy now button from paypal as I can in Dreamweavers albums

Nor should you. Bridge is merely focused on processing images. Whatever limited HTML code it spits out is solely to the purpose of allowing others to view your image collections online. nothing more. Bridge has no graps of web design. Still, I don't really see your problem. Nothing stops you from copy&pasting different peices of code together or looking for alternate solutions with dynamic JavaScript or Flash based galleries as well as using PHP-based content managemnt systems for spitting out hundreds of pages based on a server template... if you get my meaning: It's more of a problem with your workflow and placing expectations on something that never was meant to be used that way.
