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

Report · Sep 26, 2019

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
