Some Quicktimes don’t play in Adobe Bridge
Hi all….
on a mac…
I have some quicktimes that playback fine in the Adobe bridge preview.
Some don’t even seem to be recognized as video, as I get the thumbnail preview, but no transport controls.
Is there something I need to do to the .mov’s to make them recognized by Bridge as video?
Thanks,
Alex

Just a related note to the purge cache solution – I’ve run into an odd problem now and then, in which Bridge will not let me add keywords or metadata to a file (could be QT, sometimes other formats – no consistency).
Once again the solution is to Purge Cache – then the file takes the keyword or metadata just fine. Seems odd to me – I did report it as a bug at some point a while back. That said, I just moved up to Bridge in CS5.5, and I haven’t tested this issue out – the problems I had were in CS4.

Yeah….the not being able to play video was really prohibiting me from digging into Bridge.
Time to start building some collections!

You’ll be amazed at the way Bridge can improve and simplify your project management. Here’s a link to an article I wrote for the Cow a while back on managing broadcast assets with Bridge:

Joseph, I read it in print!
Great read!
At a previous job I started building an archive library based on Bridge Metadata.
The biggest problem I ran into was not being able to BUY bridge as a stand alone product for my networked producers.

Thanks for the kudos Alex – I know that you can install two copies of Adobe software, but you’re not supposed to use them at the same time. Bridge really should be available as a standalone – it’s one of the most powerful digital asset management tools out there. Maybe a request to the feature/bug page would move things along.

J,
I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a manager. you cant full on manipulate files with it.
But i agree that it’s extremely powerful and really ought to be available stand alone.
