Preview AIFF file in CS6

Why can't I preview an AIFF file in Bridge CS6? Mac OSX 10.7
Thanks!

Go to edit/preferences/file type associations and see what program you have set to open it with. There may be none selected.

I can't preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. Help!

Hi, I want to know why can't I preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. It's really frustrating as an increasing number of Illustrator files are saved in this format and I need to check through a gazillion of them. Help!

Thanks for the promt reply Omke!
That was the reason why the thumbnail icons weren't showing up in Bridge. Saving to include XMP data somehow brings in the previews in Bridge.
I don't really need SVG files for print jobs (prefer .eps or .ai), however this appears to be the preferred file format at the picture library where I bought the vector images.
Darn, I was hoping that was not the solution, as in order to view the images in Bridge, I will first have to open and re-save them.
Seems painful but thanks all the same. Would there be a way in Bridge to batch open and re-save files in another format, say from .svg to .ai ?

CS6 Feature: Media Browser and Preview in Files Panel

Another two-fer feature overview for Audition CS6. When we started the re-write for Auditino CS5.5, it quickly became clear that the hack Audition 3 used to enable preview within the Open File dialog was no longer going to fly. With Windows 7 and OS X, the APIs to customize these dialogs were lacking or potential pitfalls of programming peril, and the unfortunate decision was made to not include them with CS5.5. Additionally, and at no fault of Microsoft or Apple, preview within the Files panel was not implemented. These two missing tools unleashed a pretty loud cry from our users. I hope our answer to these requests in CS6 will satisfy everyone.
PREVIEW IN FILES PANEL
It's not a glamorous feature by any means, but so crucial and glaring when it's missing. Like oxygen. So breathe free with preview in the Files panel! Yes, all your favorites are back including Loop Play toggle, and Auto-Play! You may even hide the panel transport if you really don't care about it! And even then, when you realize how nice it was to have but are too stubborn to expose it again, you can secretly toggle Auto-Play and Loop from the panel menu. It'll be our little secret. I'll never tell...
Note the mini time display when playing or after pausing preview, and the ability to sort files by open order or last-accessed order.
MEDIA BROWSER
A feature so nice I should probably have written about it first. You get what you pay for, however, and these forums are a free service. Who needs an Open File dialog, which is only available when you need to open a file but provides little value otherwise? There's likely some reason they've been so popular the last 30 or more years of application UI design, but Audition CS6 has a little something more useful.
Easily browse your local drives, removable and thumb drives, and mounted network locations from within Audition! Preview files without opening them! Filter out unsupported media! Create Shortcuts to your favorite locations! I know, right?!
But wait, that's not all! Drag-and-drop your assets into the Files panel or directly into your multitrack session timeline! Insert into a new or existing CD Layout! Send a group of files into the Match Volume panel for amplitude/ITU Loudness adjustment! Even reveal the file directly in your OS file explorer! Hide the left-hand Root location panel and use the fancy little dropdown selector at the top of the panel! There's a lot going on in this panel, and it comes FREE with your purchase of Adobe Audition CS6.

_durin_: We are glad that you are working about it, but as we understood we can expect this kind of functionality in next version of Audition? We are great fans of your software since cool edit. We are working on it for about 13 years and must admit that politics of your company is a suprise for us. Adobe 1.0. complete non stabile, 1,5 corrected, 2.0- perfect. 3.0 very good but with few shortcomings. We are waiting for an upgrade for our pack (2xAA 2.0 + 1xAA 3.0 + new work station). We were happy that we heard that version 5 is comming, but in our industry is useless. Version 6 without few small details would be acceptable, but we won't buy incomplete software without patch support in full price. It is a fact that you made good job because restoration of advanced tools is very fine and the engine is shocking fast. Our proposal - please give us next version for test one day before publication. Tests are free because in our opinion it is best software in our job and we wont change it. We are waiting for version 7.0 .
Bob howes: I understand that it might be non important function for you, but please try to produce a sound commercial and match the music about 100-200 examples not using the preview, just by drag to the multitrack. Repeat this several hundred times. You will change your mind And this only one of many functionality of this button.

Adobe CS6 Bridge no longer will preview .tif files. Has anyone seen this and know how to correct?

Adobe CS6 Bridge no longer will preview .tif files. Has anyone seen this and know how to correct?

No problems here viewing TIFF files in Bridge. Try restoring the Bridge preferences. IMMEDIATELY after launching Bridge hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac). You'll get an option to restore preferences.

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw.
I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

.aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

Mac Pro 4.1
Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play. The Apple .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes. Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere? Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
Thanks!

I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

.aiff files need a #1 to import into iTunes. Why?

I am creating an audio only version of a movie that I edited in iMovie by sharing each chapter to QT, compressing it into an aiff file. When I tried to put these .aiff files into iTunes, the files wouldn't play any sound, although the scrubber would move telling me that the file was actually playing. I could preview them in the finder and they would play fine. They would also play as QT files. I could import them into iTines, but when I went into the Information window and looked at the volume, it was set to 0.0, which you cannot change. I got no swirling arrow next to the file name, like you usually do when importing files into iTunes. All of a sudden one of the files worked so I thought I was good to go, and continued importing more of the .aiffs, but I had the same problem with other files I tried to import. I noticed a 1 next to the file that mysteriously worked, so I just renamed each other new file with a 1 at the end of its name and now they all import fine. (It looked like this: chapter24.aif 1) Anybody know why this is? Seems silly, but it works.

Settings to choose for encoding discrete 5.1 aiff files to AC3

I've received discrete 5.1 Aiff files (L.aif, R.aif, C.aif, LFE.aif, Ls.aif, Rs.aif) that I want to encode AC3.
Now I know to choose Add Surround Sound in the batch window and assign each track it's respective position, but what isn't clear is the setting I choose to encode to AC3. I would assume that I choose AC3 5.1 under the audio presets, but the audio config looks odd to me, so instead of waiting for the encode to complete only to find out I was wrong, I thought I would ask beforehand.
Thanks!

The correct setting to use is Apple > Formats > Audio > Dolby Digital Professional 5.1.
The Audio Coding Mode defaults to L, C, R, Ls, Rs, which is what you should have set
in the Add Surround Sound interface.
Since you have a discrete LFE channel, you'll also need to check "Enable Low Frequency Effects".
If you don't have a surround audio system connected to your computer,
Compressor's Preview will downmix to stereo.
If you have any doubts about your workflow, make six short test files, with a recording
of your voice saying "Left Front", "Center", etc.

Garageband erased all aiff files of recordings made!!!

Hi there,
I spent a few hours on garageband simply recording some audio over the internal mic. Some of it I recorded normally, some in loop mode. Then I edited it, cut out what I didn't want and also deleted whole tracks with some audio on it. After all the editing I had around 6 tracks with mainly short audio loops in it (made from these recordings earlier on).
I then saved the project. Then quit. Then put my computer to sleep.
3 minutes later I woke it up again, opened the same file in Garageband I'd previously been working on. Then all I got were error messages telling me one after the other, that all the aiff-files from the various recordings could not be found. I tried the "search" button, but that never found anything.
I opened the file and all my loops were there in form, but the audio was not there, i.e. couldn't play any of it.
I opened the package contents of the GB file and the media folder was empty. The file's size is 1.1MB.
This seems to be a huge bug. This has never happened to me before. It was the first time using Garageband on Snow Leopard. And possibly the first time using Garageband 09 at all (I've used older versions frequently).
Has noone else had this happen? It makes me nervous ****. I'd have to save, quit and reopen all the time to make sure the audio data is still there.
Looking forward to your comments.
JAD

Hey there Alphaspin,
Sorry to hear you had the same thing happen to you.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'm very happy to see someone confirm my problem. It's a first step on the way to freeing that poor little bug from GB, I'm assuming. (you hear that, Apple? Don't be too vicious with the poor thing. It's not its fault!)
As a note to various people above who were hypothesizing my failure to save the file properly.
I understand your scepticism, but think about this. If I hadn't saved the file properly (before quitting - as I remember well - or during the quitting process), why would all the loops still be shown in my tracks in the Garageband file? I don't see how that could possibly happen if the file wasn't in some way "saved".
What I see in the file I referenced in my first post, is everything exactly in the state I left it when I quit it, except for all the loops not playing because GB can't find the original aiff files in it's project file any more (because they've apparently been deleted during the quitting process).
Anyhow, I hope more people will find this post and confirm our experiences. Probably they won't find it before the ** hits the fan, unfortunately. It's all a learning experience as always. Just in this case backing up doesn't help diddly-squat. You can seemingly save it to as many HDs as you wish - if GB deletes the aiff files in the project, they're lost in multiple places at once
morale of the story: I will not use GB until I see this addressed and fixed and I can test it with some post-modern classical junk music. (because I don't feel like going back to leopard - which might fix the problem for the moment).

Why is it that when I try to open a project, it says "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"?

It could be opened last night but today it just kept showing "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". I really need to access my video.
Some help out there, please?

Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

Hello,
in my office I have a problem with preview PDF files on my computers. The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong". On other 64bit computers with same programs the preview is work. I try uninstall all Adobe soft (Reader, Flash), clean all Adobe data from folders in root and in register, but it is not solve this problem. On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
So, can someone help me?
Config PC:
Windows 7 32/64bit Pro
Intel i3, 4GB
Adobe Reader 11.0.5

Thank you for help.

I think I figured it out after reading other forums. Thanks!

PSE10 still shows "edit in progress" even when file in CS6 is closed

I have used PSE for years and love the Organiser to store and navigate round my photos. I've considered Lightroom, but have stuck with PSE10.
I've got the trial of CS6 and am considering purchasing. I have a problem though. If I edit in CS6, do my adjustments, save the file then close it, it still shows up as edit in progress in my PSE10 photo well. This happens with whatever photos I edit in CS6. Very annoying as they are then locked. My only option is to close PSE10 where a warning comes up about changes being lost, re open it and all is well.
Why does PSE10 think the photos are still being editied in CS6 even though they have been saved and closed?
Help appreciated

What I have tried is after closing the file in CS6, then opening the file in PSE editor and closing that trying to "trick" the organiser into thinking it has been closed, but no luck.
I have no problem with PSE organiser and PSE editor. As soon as I close the file in the editor it becomes live again in the organiser. This is just with editing in CS6 then closing the file.
After a heavy edit session I will have numerous "edit in progress" messages over my organiser with the only way of clearing to shut down and re open PSE.
Annoying to say the least!
Thanks for your thoughts

Can you use iTunes match and not get duplicates if you maintain mp3s and aiffs files of the same song in either the same or separate libraries?

I maintain a collection of aiff files and mp3 files of the same music.
Aiff for home listening and Mp3 for my devices.
I can arrange these in the same or seperate libraires.
Will "itunes match" duplicate the songs in the cloud if they in the same or seperate libraies on the same mac?
If not, is anyone aware of how to manage seperate Mp3 and Aiff libraries so as not to get duplicates in itune match?
All assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello mracole,
I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up. However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases. I suspect that somehow those REALLY purchased several year old versions were deleted and redownloaded by me so I could change them to the 256 kbps versions under iTunes Match. They were probably 128 kbps versions originally when purchased.
Why the earlier versions that were really purchased are now identified as Matched is puzzling.
Why I now have Purchased versions from 7/19/13 is puzzling too...especially since these versions do NOT show up in my purchases.
Calling Apple Support if a good idea unless someone can explain this mystery. I might even take one of my laptops to the Apple store and show a Genius.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Mr. Luigi

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.
