Photoshop :: Making GIFs - Could Not Complete Video Frames To Layers Command
Jul 26, 2013
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.

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".

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?

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.

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.

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'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?

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.
Â
Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.

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?

I've recently learned how to make gifs from videos with photoshop. Today I've decided to use HD files to make better quality gifs and it worked fine. I made about 3 gifs. Then photoshop stopped working. It just won't open the animation. As soon as I add the file and select the bit of video I need, it shuts down. It's only a problem with HD files (from a dvd rip). It doesn't happen with smaller files.

I'm designing for web, and I want to make a box that is white and has 50% translucency.
So that things can be seen though, but they are faded so that text can go on top.
I've tried all- matting and .gifs and .pngs and dithering -

I took a series of photos that would make a nice animated GIF if I can align the pictures. I could try to do this by eye, but it would not work very well. Is there a way I can use photoshop to line up the pictures so they superimpose properly to make the animated GIF?

I am running CS3 and for some reason, I get this error on many of the filter options. To reproduce: - load any picture - it does not matter what format I use- create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet-
with the new layer selected, going to the menu item filter/blur/Gaussian Blur I have reset the preferences by pressing ctrl/alt/shift while bringing up Photoshop. I also have reinstalled (repaired) Photoshop. I've tried many different pictures with several formats (raw, .psd, .jpg) with no luck. Interestingly enough, the filter Lens Blur does come up with the screen.

can this program make gifs at all and are they produced in high quality. I see a lot of people making gifs mainly from Photoshop, but thats not an option for me, so I was looking for a program that will give me the same results or close, at a cheaper price and easier to use. Can this program be the solution or I need to look elsewhere.
Also some of the things I'm considering is if the program can make split- screen gifs, edit gifs coloring, sharpness, brightness and so on, basically high quality gifs.
Something like this ;[URL]

I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6. After editing a jpeg, I try the Save As command and recieve this message...."could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory RAM" I also notice that all my images are at 72 dpi, is this going to affect image quality? I shoot in the largest file possible when taking the photographs.Â

I'm having a problem with my recently installed copy of PS CS6 (with the latest update).
My system: PC with Intel Core i3-540 (not over-clocked: 3.06GHz) and 4GB RAM running Windows XP SP3. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD5450.
Â
The problem: When I first launch Bridge and CS6, everything is working fine. But after 10 minutes or so, ACR starts acting up. Specifically, edits become increasingly sluggish and ultimately the image won't transfer into PS. Instead, I receive the message: "Could not complete the Open As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
Â
I do not have any other programs open (aside from Bridge) when this happens.I would have thought that 4GB of RAM would be a sufficient amount of memory.
Â
I am not using the boot drive as the PS scratch drive.
Â
Two more bits of information: (1) I have the Memory Usage slider set to 80%; (2) Cache value is 1,024.

I have an error that pops up saying "Could not complete the Wind command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."It has nothing to do with saving. I can do some smaller things like Render/Difference Clouds, but not that. Also my white colors appear a little peach colored.

I was studying this tutorial: [URL] The first time I did it, I reached the result with no problem. But now, a little while later, when I tried to use:
Â
3D > Repoussé > Layer Mask (Step 5 - Tutorial)
Â
The following error message was delivered (image attached):
Â
Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended
Â
(X) Could not complete the Layer Mask command . The selected path cannot be converted to Repoussé. It does not contain any closed sub-paths or has an unusable subpath.

I just reinstalled Photoshop CS6. I'm running OS X 10.8.2 .
Â
I use the Nik plugins suite, and reinstalled them as well. Now whenever I try to use one of those plugins I get the error "Could not complete the ... command because of a problem with the filter module interface."
Â
The reinstallation was a bit of a struggle due to issues on Adobe's end, and I am hesitatnt to just dive in and reinstall without some idea as to what might cause these errors.
