Bridge open all types of files in AfterEffects.

After update to 9.0.2.219 x64 (Win 10) Bridge opens all kind of files in AfterEffects.

.psd, .jpg. .indd, .pdf, .xls you name it. ALL.

Resseting file types associations - no change.

Resseting all preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift start method) - no change.

Any ideas?

To be clear, opening from Windows finder works correctly, just double clicking inside Bridge opens AE.

Dear Users,

We have released new version of Adobe After effects (16.1.1 Build 4) to fix the above issue. It is available to install via Adobe Creative Cloud application.

Please let us know if you face any issues.

Thanks,
Siddharth

I had the same problem after updating AE.

Unchecking After Effects in Preference/Startup Scripts and re-starting Bridge fixed it for me.

Hope this helps

I just wanted to add my voice to the "me too" camp so Adobe hopefully sees this and fast tracks a patch on this issue. I've already tried resetting default file-type associations as others have suggested and also have seen no result. I'm not able to uninstall After Effects because I'm using it (a lot). But I basically do everything out of Bridge, so a fix can't come soon enough!

Info from my setup:

  • issue began after today's update
  • Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Happening here too.

Removing AE solves to problem, however installing AE again brings back the issue.

Started after updating AE today.

Reinstalling Bridge dos no fix the issue.

Adobe will release a fix quickly, I'm sure

I'm running into the same issue. Started today with the update. I really rely on Bridge to view/launch my files quickly. Please fix this. I use AE way too much in conjunction with the other Adobe products to uninstall it.

Same thing here on Win10. Uninstalling Ae "solves" it, but...that's lame.

In Preferences->File Type Associations, try clicking the Reset button.
