Error message "ReferenceError: BridgeTalk is undefined" popup window occurring on multiple Macs.

[Stephen Barrante]

Hi! For the past month or so muliple users in our studio have been getting this popup error message, "ReferenceError: BridgeTalk is undefined". It typically comes up in the background/behind our apps, as such, it has not been obvious what is triggering the error. We ususally only see it after quitting our applications – After Effects, Premiere, Media Encoder, and occasionally Photoshop / Illustrator.

Recently have updated many of the video apps to their latest versions (24.6.1 as of writing), and that hasn't eliminated the error. Does anyone have anyone have any experience what might be triggering?

Note, none of us are using Bridge, but I've posted this here because it has "BridgeTalk" in the error.

We're all running MacOS 14.5-14.6.1 generally, on Mac Studio M1's

Thanks!

Yes! I'm getting this message, too, and updating or re-installing the apps had no effect..

Same Here starting doing this lately yet I m still using 24.4.1, but this only happens when I output to media encoder

I have the same problem. Reinstalling applications did not help. I used different versions - nothing helped either. I did not find any solution on the Internet. I had to reinstall MacOS completely

Same problem here, on windows 11. Everytime I add a render to adobe media encoder...

[jasonjantzen]

Same here. Windows 11 Pro 22631.4169. Running all most current CC apps. Happens with AE and Premiere.

Ahh crap. This feed is new... I am getting it too...

[Drew Read]

Yep... same here. Important deadline today on three projects. This is not good...

Thanks for reaching out to Bridge Community.

Adobe Bridge desktop application is different from "Bridgetalk" library which is used by various Adobe products.

Issues highlight here should find the correct home so that they can be rectified properly. I will help in moving this post to PremierePro/Media Encoder community.

Same issue here.  I see this may be a Media Encoder issue, but have not yet found the cause or solution.

[EckiAME]

Do you have plugins such as "Overlord 2" installed? 

[andrii_lynnyk]

@EckiAME  Yes, i have

[tmouffe_CH]

Yes

[Randy - Dice]

Yes also, But I tried closing Overlord 2 before sending Render to Media Encoder and still getting the same error when media encoder loads up the render file

[EckiAME]

Please deactivate or update. This is an issue with "Overlord 2 ".

[Dani39037898bxjp]

Yes! I'm getting this message, too!!

Update your Overlord app. That's what fixed it for me.

[carolop]

I'm getting this error but don't have the overlord app. What could be the issue?
