So every time I go to the frames to layers option under import, I get this message:
Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because Photoshop does not support video on this version of Mac OS. I'm not sure what to do because my Mac OS is up to date, and when I had a trial for CS 6, I was able to do frames to layers.
I'm using the trial of Photoshop CS6. When I try to import frames to layers, the popup-window shows just as it should, but the preview is just a blank box. It's like there is no video there. Once I tried to continue even without it, but all I got was layers filled with the color black as frames.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis used to work, but now I can't find any way to import videos into Photoshop to make GIFs. When I go to import a video, mp4s are greyed out but I can still select avi files.
When I select an avi file, the preview comes up blank. When it imports, every layer is black. This feature used to work perfectly, but now it won't work at all! The avi files play fine in Quicktime Player, for which I have the Perian add-on.
When importing a rather large file, it is taking the space up on my C: drive which is an SSD and doesn't have a ton of room. By chance, is there a way to change it, so that photoshop will use the space on my secondary drive instead?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

Today when I was attempting to make some gifs in Photoshop, I ran into a problem. When I load the video and then create the frames, either all of the frames are black or only half of the screen (within the video) shows up. I am attempting to use videos in the Windows Media Player format which has worked in the past for me and even videos that I have used to make gifs before are not working. I have also updated Photoshop to the most recent version and am running Photoshop CS6. URL....

I try to import my DICOM files using the checkbox "import Frames as layers" in the DICOM open dialog box. Photoshop Still opens the Dicoms as individual Documents and NOT as ONE document with x layers for each dicom file.
Anyone else have this issue or is there an easy fix?
my DICOM naming convention is as follows:
name####.dcm
I am trying to open about 400 dicom images that are the MRI scan of a head/brain so I need them all in one doc and not 400 seperate docs (which ps wont let me open 400 docs at once anyways its limit it says is 200)
I opened ImageReady--->Import Folder as Frames---->20 jpeg frames come up voila!
Then select all frames, open Text Tool, start typing word into Frame #1 and and now finished go to Optimize tab and only Frame #1 has text.
I recently got a new computer and have since reinstalled Photoshop. I like to my gifs and the such but when I went to select what frame I wanted I had this show up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEach time I make an attempt to import video frames to layers, I get as far as the "select range to import" screen, and then when I select the range and click ok, it says "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." And then it closes.
My operating system is Windows XP, the photoshop type I use is CS3 as I mentioned before, and I have installed Quicktime 7.3.5.I checked one of the files I tried to use with the Mediainfo program as suggested, and got the following:
Format: MPEG-4

I have PS CS6 and when I click on File> Import> Video Frames to Layers.. Next, the window that says "Initializing Video Import" starting to load and always get stuck and that's what appears: "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available". That's with aaaall the videos.
I've been trying with File> Open but that's what says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
what i've done it imported a video to frames.I've added some text to go on every frame. But when i edit the texts style (outline etc) it only applies to one. I can't select all or some of the layers/frames for the text style to appear on.Do I have to do it manually one by one?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for an answer for a while now, and I still can't seem to make this work. I'm trying to make gifs. I'm using a Mac and I've already switched my CS5 to a 32-bit version, but the video is greyed out even though it's an mp4 and won't let me import the video.
I've looked through some tutorials, and everything should work. I'm have Quicktime version 10.2, so that should be the latest version?
Frame animation plays fine when played from timeline but all layers are exported stacked on top of each other for the duration of the whole animation. I'm able to see that because the layers have transparency.
About animation - 8 frames with in endless loop, imported into a timeline via 'Make Frames from Layers' command in a fly-out menu in the Timeliine window. Tweens for animation are off, 01.sec delay for all frames
I was able to export animated GIF before, wondering if this issue is tied to the latest update.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, suddenly when I import video frames to layers, it is now set as Quicktime files that can only be opened (AVI,MPEG etc) and won't pick up MMV files at all. I used to make a lot of gifs fine with WMV files (thats the only format Photoshop PS5 would let me open for years), now it is set up as Quicktime files all of a sudden. It only opens AVI files as well, other video formats pop up with blank screens and then go transparent. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd like to be able to make gifs with WMV files again.
Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.
I recently learned to make gif images using KMPlayer and my Photoshop CS6, but today I hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. Normally I capture a scene from a show DVD I have in KMPlayer and then import the video frames into layers/frames in photoshop with no problem. Well today I went to do that, and captured the scene with what seemed like no problem (the small captured scene saved with no problem) but when I went to CS6 to import the video into layers, I got the error message "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". At first I thought it was the KMPlayer saving the files wrong, so I retried and got the same error message. I Restored the players settings back to a default and the file still wouldn't open in photoshop, and then I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the player trying to get it to work, and then I thought it must be photoshop, because even scenes I had captured at an earlier day that worked perfectly fine when importing would not open.
Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works,The files I'm trying to import are AVIs as always, I even tried to capture scenes in other formats to no avail. What could be causing the problem?
I've been trying to make some GIFs but when I try to import the video frames to layers it shows a white screen instead of playing the movie.
All of them work on windows media player but I've heard that a lot of it has to work on QuickTime.
I've already updated the program but it still won't work. A friend of mine also told me that it might be the format of the video. Is there anything I could do to fix this?
So I decided to try my hand at making gifs and so I attempted to upload a video by going to file -> import -> video frames to layers. Before even letting my pick my video it comes up with an error message saying "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not availible." I then tried file -> open -> and then selected the video and no matter what file type or size I chose I ended up with the same error message.
I looked this problem up and attempted some of the solutions but to no avail. I tried clearing my preferences and restarting photoshop many times in addition to restarting my computer. I also checked to make sure it wasn't being blocked by any firewalls and it wasn't. My opperating system is Windows 7 and I'm using photoshop cs6.
How do I edit multiple layers or frames?
I am working on a GIF and I want to change the brightness, saturation settings etc but it seems that I have to edit the frames one by one, which is extremely tedious. Is there a faster way to do this?
I want to select all text frames on all visible layers. The script below will select all text frames even in groups but when a layer with text on it is invisible the script will error.(target layer cannot be modified)
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var numTextFrames = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
So I made this script to select text frames on only the visible layers but it now misses text that is in a group.
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;
var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;
for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
[Code] .....
Why it does not selected textframes in a group when done this way and is there a way to get all textframes selected on all visible layers?
I want to double matte a photo on a page with a background. The inner matte will be a 10 pixel black and I want the outer to be a half-inch patterned matte.
