Could not complete video frames to layers

I'm using Windows 8 and I've made GIFs using MP4 before flawlessly, I made 7 in one day and on the 8th one for some reason when I tried to import video frames to layers, it said the file could not be opened. I've been scouring the internet trying to fix this. I've seen countless discussions about this issue all over the internet and no matter what I do, it won't work anymore and I'm becoming desperate. Can someone please help me?

  • PS CC "Could not complete Video Frames to Layers command because DynamicLink is not available" help?

    I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit, AMD fx-6300, geforce gtx-760, 8gb RAM. All legitimately obtained, before you ask! Really bothered by this, when trying to make a gif, apparently "DynamicLink" is not available. Damn.

  • I can not import videos frames to layers.

    I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

    You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
    Photoshop is not designed as a video editor.  Video is more or less and add on.
    Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6.  While there is still support for  menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers.  Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop.  Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better.  I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into.  Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want,  And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
    If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements.  If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud.  CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended.   Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can  also use LR.  I do not use LR or do video editing.  I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
    Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated  poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video.  Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB  where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
    View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

  • Photoshop won't let me convert video frames to layers

    I'm trying to make gifs, and I was able to do this last night. Photoshop was converting the video frames to layers just fine. However, I think I might have accidentally done something to photoshop because right after, I could convert my video frames to layers anymore. The video clips were all screen recording from quicktime, by the way. I waited until the next day and decided to see if it would work (it didn't). So then I did a software update, thinking that maybe quicktime needed to update. But that didn't work either. When I force quit photoshop and re-open it, it "converts" the video frames to layer, but only one frame actually appears and the rest are blank. When I delete that and try to re-convert the video frames to layers, this pops up:
    I tried converting the video to an mp4, and the above message still popped up. How do I fix this back to the way it was when it was working!?

    Where is reset motion what was going on that made you want to click on reset motion.  What did you use to identify a video file to Photoshop to do something to it? We can not help if you can not describe what you did. What Photoshop step is that pop-up message the end result of?

  • Error message "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not avai

    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've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so if anyone is able to help me solve this problem I'd be much obliged.

    You see my C:\ drive is quite small as it's a SSD, so I made Adobe install programs on my E:\ drive too, however this was the main cause for Adobe not to function.
    After adjusting the settings to install everything back to my C:\ drive, it fixed my issue above and allowed me to run the 64bit version.

  • "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 extended.
    I've been using that to make gifs. It was fine when I import video frams into layers with the video formats of .mov or .avi. But After I installed OSX 10.6.8, this message comes up everytime I want to import videos: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."
    So I installed my old OS back which is 10.6.3 but the problem is still there.
    May I know what to do to solve this problem because all along I've been fine with making gifs and importing videos until now.
    Please help, thank you.

    The computer deities may be trying to say something to you.  GIF is not a video format.
    Are you opening video with the same codec that was successfully opened before?

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened

    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. Irestored 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.
    What could possibly be causing this problem to occur. Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works, or am I doing something wrong?
    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 uninstalled an reinstalled photoshop totally and it didn't fix the problem either. I made a post on the KMPlayer's forum hoping for an answer but I haven't recieved one yet. I'm starting to think it's the kmplayer having a problem capturing, since I've started getting the error "could not import the file to layers because the file has no layers" sometimes in photoshop, but I'm still trying to work around in photoshop to see if the problem came from there.

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not av

    I have this problem, 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.
    PS: 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"
    Anybody know what happens to my photoshop? Thx!

    The relevant auxiliary service/ helper app is being blocked and thus not launching,. anything from permissions issues to security tools getting in teh way. Check your Task Manager/ Activity Monitor, turn off security stuff, run as admin.

  • CC Trial version won't import video as layers - "Could not complete your request because..."

    I am trying to import a video into Ps CC trial version to make a gif.
    Every time I click file > import > video frames to layers, I get the error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This is before the window to choose what video I want to import even opens. I have not tweaked the preferences and have only had the program on this computer for a day.
    The same thing happens when I open the Timeline view and try to add the video through "Add Media" on there.
    I've rebooted several times, updated my operating system, etc etc. Nothing seems to work.
    Running OS X 10.9.1, i7 processor (which is 64 bit) on a 2013 MacBook Air.
    Any ideas?

    It was already disabled when I checked. I enabled it and tried again, still didn't work. Anything else that might be wrong? i'm getting desperate lol

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.

  • New problem again, This operation could not completed as there's no video

    I don' t understand what is the problem, I work with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 very well until today, when I tray to capture from DV devices ( note that the capture window says PREVIEW DISABLED , but I can remote the camera, mark tc in , out FFW REW etc, message VTR IS OK) The capture is aborted with this message THIS OPERATION COULD NOT COMPLETED AS THERE IS NO VIDEO, when I tray to capture from JVC PRO HD there is no problem. ANY IDEAS????? I'm not work whit another FCP version because with other version there is a problem with JVC PRO HD DEVICES . I note that I'm not the only one with this problem, another curiosity is that at this mooring I capture a tape without a problem but with the second tape start the problem when I thread the tape. Who is possible that the problems are like a miscellanies problem. In the system profile the Camera and vcr dv appears connected to the mac. The fire wire is ok.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Hi of course I use the correct easy setup,Ii tray with different cameras, vcr's, vtr's, dv , Dvcam, I tray with different fire wire etc. Note that "IMOVIE" capture material without problem, same tape, this problem is affected to other people, included me , but for week i no have this problem with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 this problem starting to day in the middle of the batch capture, the first tape was captured , but in the second tape start the message, WAITING FOR TIME CODE, THE DEVICE MUST SET IN VTR MODE, of course that this two things are ok, and appears then message "This operation could not completed as there's no video" Note that quicktime pro is unable to capture material from DV device too. Imovie work OK with the same camera and vtr and the same tape. The problem is quicktime and FCP.
