Question

How to stop thumbnails/previews from generating again after adding keywords?

Backstory:

I work as a BTS Videographer, so I deal with a lot of mp4 videos and a logging system would save me some time with orginization when it comes to delivering to post-production.  I've attempted using Bridge before and it's logging system is optimal for someone like me but there's one big problem I'm trying to overcome before commiting to it.

 

The Problem:

After adding a keyword to multiple clips, both the thumbnails and previews in the file start to generate again.  This can range from 10 seconds to a minute and really impedes with my workflow.

 

 

Is there a way stop it from regenrating thumbnails and previews, so I can make my workflow smoother?

 

Specs:

  • iMac 27in, Late-2015 with macOS Mojave 10.14.16
  • Graphics Card: MD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • 200 GB/1TB Memory Free
  • Adobe Bridge CC 9.1 (Already Updated)

 

Solutions tried:

  • Checkmarked "Thumbnails Generation over Preview Generation"
  • Checkmarked "Compact Cache on Exit (Reccomended)"
  • Checkmarked 'Prefer Embedded" thumbnail quality
  • Disabled All Start Up Scripts
  • Purged Local Cache Files and Started Again
  • Removed the preview window
  • Cache Size is 400K

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for reporting this issue here, it does not sound like a typical experience with Bridge.

You can try few of these options:

 

1. In preferences panel under cache->increase the cache size to max.

2. Check purge cache older than n days . Increase the n value.

3. Automatically Export Cache to a folder when possible.

 

Please let us know that cache or thumbnails are regenerating in central cache or in Exported cache folder.

Regards,
Sahil
