Question

no video thumbs in CC

So with the CC updates, that I feel like are an extortion scheme, I now find that with my new camera I had no thumbnails for anything.  I updated and was able to see the RAW files but not the videos.  They can be viewed in Nikon's free program and played as well, but in CC Bridge of Photoshop, just a box, can't play nor add data.  As at some point I use a custom program to extract the metadata to add to my database, this is a major problem. Windows media, also free can play the videos but I can't do anything in CC.

Hi,  

 

We are sorry for the trouble with Bridge. We are here to help! Could you please share the make and model of your camera along with the file format you are working with? Please share the exact version of Adobe Bridge that you are working with and the version of your operating system. Are the videos in question stored on the internal drive or any external drives? What is the average file size for each video?  

 

There are a few things we can check.  

  • Right click on the folders where the videos are stored and select Purge cache for selection as highlighted below. 

  • Please go to Edit > Preferences > Playback and make sure the following options are also unchecked and then restart Bridge. 

 

 Please check this article for help with Bridge’s Cache Management: https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-cache.html 

Please let us know if this helps. 

 

Regards, 

Sameer K

Taking the recommended steps made no difference.  Also in this latest Bridge 12.0.1.246 I can't use the find function with rating for anything but rejects.  I can't choose any number of stars.  I have restarted Bridge several times, rebooted likewise, and only choice for find is rejects.  I gave 1 star to a bunch that I wanted to delete, but can't thus select them all.  I was using camera raw to crop a lot in my latest downloaded folder and then I got the spinning circle, so I went, shovelled snow, ate breakfast and other things and same.  Closed everything and rebooted.  Still practical lockup. Then trying to respond here after taking the steps and couldn't finish typing as it just halted.  Got a message that CC was missing or corrupted, so reinstall.  Did so and then the message reappeared.  Almost 3 hours now since I was able to accomplish anything with constant waiting for spincircles or lockup just to finish typing words here. The cloud, horrible idea, work efficiency reduced to zero.
