I will apologise ahead if I sound thick, but I am a new user of AE. I have CS4 Master collection running on Windows XP. My problem is that I have Lynda.com tutorials on AE and the guy previews a text effect in Bridge then double clicks and it appears in After Effects. I do it and it says " move to After Effects (Default). Yes i say click and it comes up saying ffx are not supported!!!. I know the tutorial is done on a Mac. Is that why. I can click the effect in AE but not like the tutorial example. Am i wrong somewhere>

Bridge must be invoked from within AE using "Browse Presets in Bridge", not launched externally. Only that way the required loopback connection will be established.
