Import error on XMP files when bringing in image sequences to AE cs6

Hey everyone,
I'm having difficulty getting AE 6 to import my still image timelapse sequences.  It throws an error called-unsupported file type extension.  I did not have this problem with cs 5.5.
My workflow goes as follows. 
-bring RAW stills into bridge and batch edit them in camera raw. 
-move stills to LR timelapse and de-flicker them
-import still sequence into after effects.
The xmp files should change as I edit them in camera raw and in LR timelapse but they will not import into AE cs6. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks for your time. 

They are still pictures that were shot in RAW on a still camera.  It calls them cr2 files in windows explorer.  They are raw image files brought into bridge and when edited in camera raw-the metadata is saved to an xmp file that accompanies each image.  Then you bring the images into LR timelapse and it just adjusts the xmp(metadata) files to deflicker them.  Much in the same way that camera raw works.  You do not have to export the still at all because all of these changes are saved in the metadata.  Then you drop the still sequence into AE and export it as video.  It just wont let me export them into cs6 with these xmp files. 
The raw files are called cr2 files and without the xmp file-they will import into AE.  I tried importing some other camera raw files (NEF files) into AE with the xmp's and it worked.  For some reason it does not like these RAW cr2 files with the xmp metadata. 
Thanks for your time and help,

  • How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers?  When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error.  The file format is invalid"

    How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers.  When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error.  The file format is invalid.

    That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
    A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
    I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
    1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
    2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
    Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

  • In your experience what are the most common errors in binding files when deploying?

    As the title suggest I'm interested in discussing the most common errors in binding files when deploying.
    Reason for this is that I'm currently working on a Powershell script that can parse a binding file and create a reader friendly report (rtf format) with various information.
    But the main purpose for this script is to find common errors in the binding file used. And so far these are the ones I've thought of:
    - Tracking enabled for either services or the pipelines they are using (if it's a binding meant for Prod).
    - Orchestrations logical ports not having any ports bound to them.
    - URI containing certain words that's not ok. For example if a binding meant for Prod contains the word "test" anywhere in the URI then that should be reported in the created rtf report. This also applies vice versa.
    So now I need your help with coming up with more ideas on common errors that need to be looked after and reported on if found! 
    Additional features the report should contain:
    - Listing the details of each orchestration, send port, receive port along with their associated receive location(s). To better understand and get a quick overview on exactly what settings are planned to be deployed. Especially the "TransportTypeData"
    section which otherwise can be quite tedious to read.
    - List each unique host instance, so that I can easier see directly which ones might need a restart after an import.
    I'd appreciate if you can come up with any more features that should be included in this script.
    /Christian @ IntegrationAdmin.com

    Filter on send port not on the same line as the Filter tag.
    This one is a nice one, I ran into it several times. Mostly after copy/paste of a port definition for a binding file, because Visual Studio is formatting after paste the XML in a way the filter will get invalid. This leads to a cryptic error
    during importing the binding.

  • \\Error Reading Rules File when dimbuild with DLR

    Hi
    I am using Essbase 11.1.2.1.
    I create a DLR via the web console EAS (11.1.2.1 too) : a very simple one : dimbuild DLR, ";" as separator, 2 fields (parent and child)
    when i try do do a "Update Ouline..." with a very simple file (1 line : accounts;test) I have this error message "\\Error Reading Rules File"
    I don't know if it can help but if I create the same DLR on another 7.1 essbase serveur through this same wec eas console (11.1.2.1), I have no problem...
    another information, too : my 11.1.2.1 server has a //ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary ESSLANG. My 7.1 server has a //ESS_LOCALE French_France.ISO-8859-15@Default ESSLANG. I really don't know if there is a link, or absolutely not.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Fanny

    unable to load essmsh.exe : the error message seems to indicate that it is a problem with a path in the environment variables.
    So if you say that the "Error Reading Rules File" is typically a path issue, all is probably linked!
    The admin will probably correct that tomorrow : I let you know if it solves the problem!
    Thanks!

  • IMovie error - cannot create file when I attempt to share

    I am using MAC OS X 10.9.5, iMovie 10.0.5.  I have successfully create many movies by using Share to file - of long and short sizes. This particular time I made couple of minor edits to my movie which had previous shared to file with no problem, and when I went to Share to File I get an error message. The Share fails with the error "cannot create file".
    I have plenty of disk space.
    All other applications are closed, just imovie running.
    The destination is the mac internal hard drive.
    I deleted imovie and re-installed it.
    I deleted the Render Files.
    No luck.
    Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
    Super frustrated.

    +1) Quit iTunes.+
    +2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
    +3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
    +4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+

  • Error writing to file when installing iTunes 10.

    When I updated to iTunes 10 yesterday, it updated fine, but when I went to run it today, it had to configure. It was almost completed when I got the error "Error writing to file: C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ru.lproj\IPod touch License.rtf". I tried to access the file, but it says the file cannot be found.
    I uninstalled iTunes, and went to re-install it, but at about the same time I get the exact same error.

  • "Error writing to file" when installing Oracle9i

    I am fairly new to Oracle and have not been able to install Oracle 9i on my Redhat 7.2 box. In three attempts to install I have encountered the same error at some point, usually early on 5% or 10% into the install.
    The error is:
         "Error in writing to file /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/olap/wrksht/wks.jar"
    However, it has not happened on the same file each time. I have stopped the installation of that component, but it encounters the same error on other files. I have tried redownloading the oracle disks and reinstalling, but to no avail. I read on one posting that Oracle needs to have glib2.2(rather than glib1.2) installed, so I downloaded it and will be trying that later today. If anyone has encountered this error and knows how to solve it I would appreciate the help. Below I have listed my computer configuration and I have attached the portion of the install log that identifies the error that takes place.

  • Error writing to file when updating Itunes Windows 7

    Error message: C\Program files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources\clientdescription.plist MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
    HELP!!!

    I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf.  Verify that you have access to that directory."
    Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? I tend to identify that message with Kaspersky interfering with the install.
    If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Any better luck with the security software shut down?

  • PS4 shuts down... PS4 also adding XMP files after I edit images

    So there is another thing going on I have noticed...
    When I open PS4 and don't do anything else, it will shut down on it's own after 3 or 4 minutes. All I do is open the program and just wait... Poof-It's gone! (And it's also shutting down on it's own during image edits but i generally get a few more minutes out of it.)
    Also-everytime I edit an image, PS4 creates a XMP file that is about 6kbs. So now I have a bunch of extra files that I don't know what to do with. If this is a new feature, I sure would like to know about it.
    I am running XP (sp3) with 2GB RAM. Pentium D 3.00ghz (I am letting PS4 use 640mb of 1686mb available RAM)

  • How do I set the Alpha when opening an Image Sequence?

    I'm trying to imported a tiff image sequence w/embeded alpha into Final Cut Pro. Since Final Cut Pro has no feature for importing image sequences, I assume that Quicktime Pro is my only choice.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    1. Opened Image sequence in Quicktime Pro
    2. Went to "show movie properties"
    3. Selected "Video "Track" which is only track to select
    4. Went to "Visual Settings" tab, "transparency"
    5. Selected "straight alpha"
    It turns the alpha or matte area into a solid white. I've tried the other transparency options but they always give me the white.
    6. Import saved quicktime into FCP, edit into timeline, select different alpha settings, always white background.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is my graphics guy giving me image sequences with improperly embeded alphas?
    Avid will import the image sequence and read the alpha with no problem.

    In Final Cut (prefs) set the duration for still's
    Import the still folder. Or make a bin folder in the bowser window...
    Drop the still folder on the time line ....done
    I just did a test and it works.........

  • Compressor 4 drops frames when converting 25fps image sequences

    I am using Compressor 4 to batch convert 30fps and 25fps 1080 tiff image sequences to Uncompressed 10bit 422.
    I have created custom presets for both 30fps and 25fps.
    The 30fps conversions are fine.
    But the 25fps conversions have missing or dropped frames and the resulting clip is too short. For example a 106 frame image sequence becomes 88 frames when converted to Uncompressed 10bit 422 QT. (which suspiciously similar to the 83.33% difference between 25 & 30 fps)
    I have double checked my setting and can not find a problem (see grab)
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Update: I have found a work around for this problem, but it is not pretty!
    By using the 30fps setting even for 25fps sequences, every frame gets included in the resulting QuickTime. But it plays at the wrong frame rate, so I then use Cinema Tools to change the frame rate to 25fps. Then everything is fine.
    As Compressor 4 has been around for while, I can't believe this hasn't come up before!

  • Jagged Edges and Unstable Images when converting from Image Sequence to DV

    Hi,
    I have an Image Sequence (very good quality) that I'm trying to convert using Graphic Converter into DV NTSC Video.
    I chose Progressive scan.
    I find that the Images appear to have Jagged Edges especially when there is movement involved. Also, the entire image as a whole appears to be Unstable/ Vibrate Slightly.
    Does anyone have Experience with this?
    Thanks,
    Rajnesh Domalpalli

    Ntsc dv should be interlaced. also if you are viewing on a computer monitor the footage will appear nasty. It's best to view via an NTSC monitor.Do you have Final cut? if your images are correctly sized you should be able to drop the sequence into a final cut sequence set to DV NTSC and render out the resulting video. You will likely need a multiformat monitor as I believe the standard in India is a PAL variant PAL B not NTSC . in NTSC the screen is filled first by odd lines (Field1) then by even lines (Field2)thus a single pixel line will appear to turn off and on as the screen fills between odd and even lines. Straight lines and angled lines exhibit aliasing and flickering particularily when viewed on a computer monitor because computer screens fill the screen progressively from top to bottom and at a much higher refresh rate than NTSC. hope this helps

  • Import error for .prproj files

    so i've just touched adobe mc CS4 for the first time, my church is allowing me to use the studio/editing room while not being used during the day at certain times. i am compiling a dvd of my wedding to make it more proffessional than the previously made vesion (which looks very amateur with a basic template menue, and so on). i plan to use some flash on the menus and maybe even include an easter egg as well. anyway, with the other program i just imported the media from the camera (which is an HDD camera that records everything into .mod files) i've had a .mod converter for quite some time so those are already converted.i saved them on an external HDD, i created a folder on the computer and just dragged and dropped the folder onto there.
    anyway, with my old program (cyberlink power producer/director) i'd just import the media into the editor, make the edits and cuts and save the project. then import the project into the author program to make teh menus and burn it. when i first pulled up the program to get acclimated to it, i decided to run through a very quick dry run of a full start to stop dvd burn of a very small video. i did a short series of clips and edits in Premiere (the oevr all project is like 6 minutes long). saved the project, and when i go to import the project into Encore it reads "the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this  system""adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not  available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file  you are working with may help correct the problem."
    i can encode the project as an mpeg, and it imports just fine. i can import the individual clips that make up the project into encore, they work fine as well.but if i import the .prproj file, it gives me the error. so whats the deal? can you just drag and drop these files in like this? i'm just trying to keep from constantly encoding the files after 3 encodes, i'm affraid the quality of the video will suffer too much degradation, so i'm trying to get it to where i can just import the project, and then at the end burn the project to dvd.
    i figured it better to ask on here, this way i look like a fool anonymously, and not look like a fool to people i actually know. heh.

    PrPro will come to you. It has fewer "automations," and "big-button" solutions, than PowerDirector (and Magix and PrE), but with that comes power!
    It is the same with Encore vs the limited authoring capabilities of PowerDirector, Magix, Roxio and PrE. Again, more hand-work, but oh, so much more power!
    Can you tell that I am a control freak, and do not mind getting my hands dirty to access the power?
    There are a few things that Encore cannot do, that programs like Sonic Scenarist can do, but there are usually workarounds, either in the design, or in the implementation, that will get you "there," or close.
    I strongly recommend that any new user to Encore purchase and read Jeff Bellune's excellent book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. That book covers everything that Encore can do, with two current exceptions - Adobe Dynamic Link (CS4 version) and BD authoring. Both of those were added after the book and EncoreDVD 2.0, were released. However, the Help files cover both of those newer additions well.
    Along with the fundamentals of Encore, Jeff covers all sorts of tricks and tips for getting more out of Encore, than the DVD-specs. actually allow. Obviously, he cannot break those rules, though he CAN help you create the illusion that the rules HAVE been broken. The user will swear that they just saw things, that are impossible, based on the DVD-specs., which are very limiting. Hey, it IS "smoke and mirrors," but if the user is fooled, you have succeeded, right?
    Good luck, and when you get around to adding some "tricks" to your DVD-Videos, post back. I'd suggest a new thread, so that other users can benefit from the new title, and so that users know that this is a new question. You will find that there is not too much, that someone here has not done, one way, or another. Oh, there ARE some limitations, where there is no good way to "bend" those DVD-specs., but you'll be surprised at what one can "bend."
    Happy authoring,
