For the last two days I have been experiencing image previews (CR2, JPG, TIF) that are flickering during my editing process. The images are trying to load but they flicker on and off and occaisionally will look "glitchy" or corrupt, but soon load after a few minutes of visul aerobatics.
This is an important folder of files that I have been working on for two days and can't lose.
I'm on a iMac system running Mac OS 10.14.6 and my version of Bridge is 10.0.3
Thank you.

check your monitor preview settings first.
Then clear the cache in that folder. See if software or hardware generated prviews is selected.
I use hardware generated previews

Thank you for the reply... I have cleared the cache and re-checked the previews settings so I thought it was resolved but then had a batch of RAW files start to flicker sporadically today. Once I manually clicked on each image, the others started to pop in, so now I'm not sure what the issue is entirely. I will give it a couple of days to see if it continues.
I appreciate your assistance. Cheers

I don't know if you still have this issue, but what I did to fix it was
- Go to preferences -> Thumbnails -> Uncheck "Prefer Thumbnail Generation Over Preview Generation"
I hope this help with this annoying issue.

Unfortunately that did not work with the latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop. Will keep looking.

Previews / thumbnails are flickering for me as well. They have been for months. Mostly I ignore it but...today it has gotten hard to work.
Bridge : 12.01.246
iMac OS: 11.6.5
Any suggestions?

As noted above:
1. Go to preferences -> Thumbnails -> Uncheck "Prefer Thumbnail Generation Over Preview Generation"
2. Go to Library then Preferences and delete all Adobe plist items and restart. (Open the attached screen shot if you have trouble finding the right folders.)
MacBook Pro 12.0
Adobe Bridge: version 12.0.1.246
I hope this helps with this frustrating event.

Nathaniel, unfortunately I posted about this months ago and have no memory of what I did so I can't help you. Hopefully someone else can chime in. Good luck.
