AE will not import live photoshop 3d correctly

Hi, I've spent a lot of time researching forums, watching tutorials trying to solve this problem to know avail.  I have found some threads that have the same problem, but no solutions have worked.  I'm using CS4 in both photoshop and AE.  My problem is that no matter what I do I cannot correctly import photoshop 3d live layers into aftereffects and have them work properly.  Basically once I save or create the 3d file or 3d shape as a psd, when I import it into AE it does not create the comp correctly where it creates the camera, and controler layer (per the tutorials I have watched).  It simply brings in the PS file as a straight 2d.  Here is what I have done and tried.
1) within photoshop the 3d object all works fine. I've tried numerous models and even used the adobe car model  that was part of the tutorial There seems to be no issues when working inside PS.  I have even created just a simple 3 d shape in PS and tried importing that into AE with the same results. I am saving all of these as .psd files.
2) When importing I have made sure that the import as live photoshop3d layer box is checked
3) Within AE after importing, I have opened the comp that was imported to see if the camera layer and controler layer are there...they are not, only the PS layer (2d) is there.
4) I havewithin aftereffects to edit original on the layer which brought me back into PS, I made a slight color change and saved and when going back into AE it reflected the changes I made correctly. I tried to do this to make sure dynamic link was working correctly.
5) I tried to manually within AE to convert the layer to a photoshop live 3d layer (since it didnt do it correctly upon initial import) I get an error message that reads....  no photoshop live 3d layer found.
It just seems that upon import, AE is not recognizing that it is a 3d photoshop live layer, thus does not create the necessary things (camera and controller) as needed. Are there any preferences that I may need to enable within AE for this to work.  Truthfully I don't know for sure that it couldnt be a problem with PS, but since everthing 3d seems to work correctly in PS, I believe the problem has to do with AE.
I'm really at a loss at what else to do, everything else in AE works fine.  Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds rather odd, but I remeber there was an issue along those lines that got fixed in the 9.0.2 update. If you haven't already, try to install it. Also check the rendering style of your model in PS. You may have assigned something there that would not produce visible results and thus AE may ignore it. As a last thing, check your OpenGL settings in AE and PS and your graphics driver. Since PS handles this as a hardware accelerated feature, bad graphics configuration might also make it go boom... For more details it would help if you could produce some screenshots of your settings and import attempts....

Edit: Definitely make sure to turn off the sequence option in the AE import dialog! This might, after all, be the problem here...

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

  • I have photoshop elements 10 with all updates but it will not import raw files from my sony rx100

    Can anyone help. I have adobe elements 10 with all updates but it will not import .arw (raw) files from my sony rx100

    Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
    Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

  • Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Images from Canon 7D mark 2 will not open in Photoshop CS6

    Hi Ferdinand12345,
    Cannon 7D mark II has been included in the ACR 8.7. I would advise you to wait for the 8.7 camera raw to release.
    In the meanwhile you can go to labs.adobe.com and download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and then try to import.
    Thanks

  • Some images saved in Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6

    We have confirmed that some files saved from Photoshop CS will not open in Photoshop 6. This is due to a bug in Photoshop 6, not in CS.
    These files open correctly in Photoshop 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 7 and CS on both platforms.
    The solution is to upgrade the copies of Photoshop 6 to Photoshop CS.

    Hi sig,
    I actually did try reinstally Photoshop - even reinstalled my operating system. I looked for the file "Adobe Unit Types" and see that it is indeed there in the ScriptingAdditions folder. But I still cannot open the tif files.
    I should also mention all my tif files have the .tif extension on them (in case anyone suggests that's the issue.)
    And, this problem is the same with Illustrator CS .ai files as well.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

    I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows  The following file could not be imported.  The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
    I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
    Any ideas anyone?

    I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
    Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

  • .CR2 will not import into  iphoto 08 7.1.5

    I have a few hundred photos taken by a friend that i am trying to import into my iphoto library.
    Getting an unrecognizable file message.
    I shoot on a Canon XSi in RAW and have no issues importing to iphoto, Apature or photoshop....
    her images were shot on a Canon TSi in RAW and will not import into any of my programs.

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Just installed Iphoto 6 and many photos will not import to Iphoto...

    About half of my photos from one of my rolls from this Spring will not import into Iphoto6. I can open them up from my hard drive but they will not import into Iphoto. Any tips?

    Chris:
    Even though you've gotten back up and running if you have any thumbnails that show up as blanks again try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    The blank thumbnails after updating to v6 are often a result of permissions on the files getting messed up somehow preventing you from having access to them. Running BatChmod on the library folder as demonstrated will force the correct ownership and permissions on all of the files.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto 6.06 Will Not Import RAW CR2 files Taken Through an Uncoupled Lens

    If I use adapters to couple my Canon 20D to a telescope (which is an electronically uncoupled lens and has no lens-related exif data), iPhoto freezes and will not import a RAW Canon CR2 file taken through any telescope. It imports such jpegs just fine, and Preview can open either. iPhoto, however, must be forced to quit under the Apple menu.
    It doesn't matter where the RAW file is...in the camera, on the desktop, in a card reader, or on a CD.
    This is an obvious bug in iPhoto.

    Do you have access to an Apple store, or a friend
    with Aperture? It would be interesting to see if
    Aperture has the same problem.
    Not that it really matters, but a bug in both
    iPhoto and Aperture is more likely to be fixed!
    I don't know anybody who uses Aperture, and my nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away in Cincinnati.
    I'm able to work around the problem since Canon's Digital Photo Professional, working with Canon's EOS Utilty, imports and processes these images just fine, as does Photoshop CS.
    However, I miss the premise that iPhoto should be the central organizer and storage vessel for all of one's digital photos, making naming, finding, and backing them up a snap, even though a different program may be used for processsing them.
    As an aside, Canon's download site warns that EOS Utility 1.1.1 will not work on Intel Macs; it does...with full functionality.
    Thanks for your response.

  • Aperture 2.1 will not import .crw from my Canon 300D Digital Rebel?

    Hi
    I am having problems with Aperture 2.1. I have a number of RAW files on my Canon 300D DSLR, which will not import into Aperture. Aperture recognises the camera and the photos via USB connection directly to the camera. However, when I click on import all (or for that matter if I attempt to import a single photo) I receive the following error box:
    "Import From Capture Card Completed with Errors - 0 images have been imported into the project named "untitled project". - Aperture failed to import the 19 images listed below:"
    It then list all of the images, for instance: CRW_0309.CRW.
    I am almost certain that Aperture 2.1 is compatible with the Canon 300D and .crw files: does anyone have any idea why I am having problems? Please feel free to ask me any questions, which may help you to understand my issues.
    This is my first post, sorry if I've done anything wrong.
    Si

    You might be onto something there nbirchler ... whilst I have not installed all the Canon software I have got the Canon remote capture installed ... but more to the point I have iPhoto, Aperture, Elements, Photoshop, FinepixViewer, Adobe DNG and various RAW developer type packages, as well as god knows what else lurking ... maybe one of these was interfering as I had not specified a default program to interface with my camera.
    Does anyone know if there is a window (shouldn't use that word in Appleland really lol), or menu in OSX (perhaps in system preferences or something) for selecting the default image download software for your camera? I assume if you say 'yes' to iPhoto on bootup, or 'yes' to Aperture it must just tick a box somewhere in OSX ... wheres the box?
    It would be useful to interface directly with OSX before I insert my camera and ensure I have the package I want to open selected.

  • Premiere pro will not import .mov files

    Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
    Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
    One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • My AVI will not import to PE12. They want to load as audio only. Using Windows 7.

    My AVI files will not import to Premiere Elements 12. They want to load as audio only. Currently using Windows 7.

    twswing
    Just a reminder to those reading your thread...at the onset I wrote
    There are certain .avi files with certain video compression that can be highly problematic, such as,
    AVCHD.avi
    And, we have been pursuing that line of troubleshooting by use of the conversion of the AVCHD.avi to an .mp4 file. Right now, the issue is not which method, but getting the export settings of the conversion method correct. It would appear that your conversion settings with Koyote got away from you, especially with the frame size and frame rate.
    We need to get an import whose properties match the Premiere Elements project settings, set by you or the project. Right now I am suggesting that you set the project setting manually yourself before you import your converted file, as per the how to toward the bottom of the following.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    But, first the conversion...by whatever method you select, I am suggesting the following H.264.mp4 as a 4:3 file.
    Go back to the AVCHD (H.264).avi and convert it to H.264.mp4.
    Let us target for
    Frame Width 640 pixels
    Frame Height 480 pixels
    Frame Rate 29.97 frames per second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.0.  (also known as Square Pixels)
    Then open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    Change the project preset to
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    Do not forget the check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" as you exit the new project dialog.
    Then import your converted H.264.mp4 file into Premiere Elements with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the file to the Timeline. There should be no black borders anywhere.
    Does Koyote conversion offer the settings that I mentioned. If not, we can discuss using HandBrake which I thought might be easier and quicker to use.
    Please review and then let us decide if we are on course.
    Thanks.

  • Solution when iMovie or FCE will not import AVCHD files or MTS files

    Problem: iMovie or FCE will not import your footage from SDHC camera with files in AVCHD structure, or cannot import .mts or .m2ht files (which you may have copied from AVCHD structure. When mounting camera, you can see the camera as disk but iMovie will not try to import footage. If you point Final Cut Express (FCE) to the file structure, it fails to recognize it as a valid file structure. (I have Canon HF10, but understand that this problem is common on many camera models, maybe camera has been turned off at the wrong moment?)
    Cause: Faulty file structure on camera or disk
    Soultion: Rebuild AVCHD file structure using an AVCHD editing tool. I found multiAVCHD (multiavchd.deanbg.com), which is not perfect, but will do the job. And it is freeware (possible to donate).
    I would like comments about others experience - but at least this worked for me:
    - Download and install the software (Yes, you need Windows)
    - Set the right parameters: mostly default, I didn´t want any recoding. But tick off to keep the source files!
    - Select the AVCHD source (or source .mts or m2ts files) and destination
    - Start rebuilding: select output for Sony Playstation 3
    - Put the AVCHD file structure on a USB stick
    *If using iMovie:*
    Start iMovie and plug the USB into the mac (virtual disk (.dmg file) or other media should work fine as well). The USB may contain other files as well, but the root of AVCHD must be named AVCHD.
    iMovie recognizes the drive as a camera. All is not 100% well, as the dates for making the footage is lost, and the thumbnails are distorted if seen at all, until clicked on. But then import worked for most clips. Some clips gave an error message, but FCE was able to import these (Log&transfer).
    *If using FCE:* Use Log and transfer on this file structure (need not be on external disk)
    If you have a better solution - please share! I suppose there are other tools out there which may correct the file structure with less side effects and no errors.
    If you go for this solution - remember the author of multiAVCHD, he will surely appreciate a donation. I guess everybody will agree that this is worth at least as much as you paid for your SDHC card.
    Why a function to correct faulty file structure is not included in iMovie and FCE is beyond my understanding!
    I notice many users salvage their footage by converting the .MTS files, using Handbrake etc. But I believe rebuilding the file structure is faster and with no quality reduction.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm hoping someone is still subscribed to this and can help.
    I have a Sony HDR-SR10. Yesterday I was able to connect it to my iMac by USB and view all the footage in the import window of iMovie (08).
    Last night, to save time sorting at home, I took it to work with me and using the software that came with the camera installed on a Windows PC went through to see which files were rubbish and could be deleted before importing to speed up the transfer on to my mac.
    Today, my Mac won't recognise the Camera!?!?!?!
    Have I inadvertently reformatted the .MTS files or the camera itself, to windows or something? CanI change it back??
    I'm currently creating a new disk image of the camera on my Mac in the vain hope that it will work and be recognised by the Mac as a camera. I can see from the progress box the following text:
    Creating Image "Sony Camcorder Media.dmg"
    =====Progress Bar=====
    Reading (WindowsFAT32 :1)...
    Which is why I think I've done something seriously wrong!! .. because it mentions windows!
    HELP! HELP! HELP!
    I have my entire honeymoon and the first year of my son on this camera and I want to edit with iMovie! Especially as I just paid for iLife 09 upgrade!
