Photoshop :: Import Video Frames To Layers Set As Quicktime Files (PS5)?
Oct 29, 2012
For 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.
This 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. Â 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?
I 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.
I'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. Â I've looked through some tutorials, and everything should work. I'm have Quicktime version 10.2, so that should be the latest version?
In CS5 I would always save my in-progress .gifs as Quicktime Movies. Since upgrading, I have not been able to open any of these QuickTime files, and I also cannot open .mp4 files that I created in Photoshop CS6. I don't have any plugins installed, if I should.
On CS5 and CS6, I've easily been able to make gifs, but now in my CS4 extended, there is no option under IMport to do video frames to layers. I also can not open ay gifs or get the animation toolbar.
I'm trying to import an avi file into PS CS3 using the 'import video frames into layers' tool, and I had 3ivx trial but it expired and now it leaves a watermark on all the layers.
im having this problem with the "File > Import > Video Frames to Layers" the box comes up like this:
as you can see the box is white, the file i have imported if MP4 and iv tryed this with 2 files now, and get the smae thing, iv also tryed ans mov file the which dose show a preview but it still showd the black bar at the bottom and no time bar and such  iv uninstalled the and reinstalled Photoshop and have the latest version of Quik time installed  it's Photshop CS5 that im useing running on 64bit windows 8, i was priviously runing 32bit windows 8 and and this worked fine, then upgraded to 64bit and now this problem has occoured
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.
Each 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. Â 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: Â Format: MPEG-4 Format profile: Quicktime Codec ID: qt File size: 176 MiB Duration: 18mn 33s Overall bit rate: 1 327 Kbps Writing application: Lavf53.24.2
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. Â 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".
trying to import video to layers by going >file>import>video frames to layers... then selecting my avi file, an options box then appears but the preview area is blank and when i look in my layers window all the layers (500) are blank!
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.
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. Â 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'm trying to import a .MOV file to get all the pictures out. But I can't see the controls under the preview. What can I do to fix this? Specs: Photoshop CS3Windows XP 64-Bit8GB ram - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Also, I wish there wasn't a limit on only importing 500 frames.
I am using Photoshop 10.0.1 on windows XP 64 (8gb ram)
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'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.
Why is photoshop elelments 9 not recognizing .wmv or .avi files when trying to import photos from videos. I have used this feature before without problems using .wmv videos, why did it quit working all of the sudden?
Okay so I've tried everything and even reinstalled my photoshop cs6 and it is still giving me some trouble when i want to make an animated gif from my video that is only 4 seconds long.
Anyway when i click on file and scroll down to import and scroll to the video frames to lay and the impot video to layers pops up and it shows my full video but the top part is black however you can see the video on the bottom half just the top part of the video is black. How can i go about fixing this problem ?
i am trying to make a gif but i try using import video frames to layers and each time it always say could not complete the video frames to layers command because QuickTime 7.1 or later is required. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and i also have QuickTime. Im using windows.
I'm trying to import part of a .mpg file using Import Video Frames To Layers. I only want a very small part of the clip but the slider in the import window appears to be missing. I need this to work, does anyone have a (re)solution please. This functioned fine in all previous versions of PS I've used. I need this functionality in order to work. Screenshot attached.

We're seeing an issue when exporting in H.264 (High Quality) and playing in QuickTime 10.0 (Mac OS 10.6). We are using a custom size video to fit a spot on our website (398x498). When exported and played in QuickTime 10.0 the white inverts throughout the video (back and forth). The same issue is not seen when viewed in VLC, QuickTime 10.1 Chrome, Firefox, Flash or IE.  We are also NOT seeing the same issue when we export the same video to a different custom size (336x596). Those videos play normal in QT10.0. And lastly we're NOT seeing this issue when exporting as QuickTime/JPEG2000 format.
the issue is very specific to QuickTime 10.0 on Mac 10.6. VLC, Flash, Chrome, FireFox all play it correctly.
Recently, an error has occurred when I try to load a video. I get an error message saying the video cannot be loaded because Quicktime 7.1 or later must be installed. However, I have repeatedly installed, repaired, etc. the latest version of Quicktime on my computer.
How to render HD 1920 x 1080 video clips into the .mov, 1080p format required by my stock agency. I've gone into Share>Create Video File>Custom>Quicktime Movie Files>Options>General... but I am unable to find a 1920 x 1080 option. 800x600 is the highest setting with the default being 720x480. I'm using VS Pro X4 and also tried X2.

I'm running Lightroom 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. Â I just installed Lightroom. Lightroom will not import any of my video files. After import fails to import them into the lightroom library it tells me "there is a problem with the video file" and it lists all of my videos. Â 90% of my videos were shot on various iPhones. Â I have read the troubleshooting video
[URL]....and did not find it useful. Â Google searches are not panning out either.
Can I import XMF files into Video Pro X5 without first converting them? I cannot find the answer to this on the sales information. Also is there any way to import those XMF files into my current version (Video Pro X2).
I have several hundred videos I have taken, either with a Canon SD800, Canon S95, Canon T2i or a GoPro. Â New videos I take on this equipment works just fine when adding to Lightroom. But when I try to import older files, I get error: video file not imported with the quantity in parenthesis. Â I have tried purging the video cache, I have tried task manager - disabling dynamiclinkmanager and dynamiclinkmediaserver. Occasionally I will be able to import one or two videos after doing this but then it hangs up again. Â Running Win7, LR4.1. Â I don't have anything else up and running when I do this.
I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion form SL. Suddenly AE can't import lot of .movs.I am almost sure this is a compatibility between the Quicktime components nor the location of them. Â For instance, some H264 files are imported fine, as Mp4 files as well. Pro Res, PNG, even Animation! Gives me the "this Moov is unsuported or damaged"I removed the AE pref., chequed my disk permissions, and nothing. Also, i can't see Adobe QT32 Server in the Activity Monitor, but i think this is not a problem because other quicktime files are imported ok.I don't have any firewall trying to break the communication between AE and QT. I tried to opend the files in Premiere, and Media Encode and gives the same errors..I have removed Xvid, Perian. From Quicktime Pro, i have removed all third party component in Libray/Quicktime and in System/Library/quicktime and nothing. Also I'm lost WHERE the final qt components go:
1-HD/Library/Quicktime 2-HD/Users/User/Library/Quicktime 3-HD/System/Library/Quicktime (empty, i don't know why) Â The QT codecs: Quicktime pro opens certain files and when i tried to export, it crashes. Quicktime X Plays the files normally, even Prores and even the Finder Preview sees them.this is the QT report:
