Working with Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge is the control center for Adobe Production Studio. Use Bridge to browse for project templates and
animation presets; to view and manage files and folders; organize your files by assigning keywords, labels, and ratings
to them; search for file and folders; view, edit, and add metadata; and find and purchase Adobe Stock Photos. For
more information about Adobe Bridge, search for Bridge in After Effects Help.
Note: When working in Adobe Bridge, you'll notice references to Version Cue. Version Cue is a set of features that help
manage design workflow and collaboration in Adobe Creative Suite.

To close a project

❖
Choose File > Close Project.

To undo changes

You can undo actions using the Undo, History, or Revert commands. You can undo only those actions that alter the
project; for example, you can undo an edit, but you cannot undo the scrolling of a panel. You can sequentially undo
as many as 99 of the most recent changes made to the project in any After Effects panel, depending on how many
undo levels are set in Preferences; the default is 35. Specifying more levels increases memory requirements but does
not significantly affect performance. To set the number of undo levels, choose Edit > Preferences > General
(Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > General (Mac OS), specify a number for Levels Of Undo, and then click
OK.
Note: The Vector Paint effect (Pro only) supports only one level of undo, regardless of the number of levels you set.
You can also discard changes by reverting to the last saved version of the project. Note that when you revert to the
last saved version, all editing and footage imported since you last saved are lost. You cannot undo this action.
To avoid wasting time undoing accidental modifications, lock a layer when you want to see it but do not want to
modify it. (See "To lock or unlock a layer" on page 160.)
❖
Do one of the following:
•
Choose Edit > Undo [action].
