Applying a transition on PSD file

*In my time line, I can put a transition on a bmp,or a png file, but not a psd. When I try to put a transition on it, it won't take. Can you help me?*
Thank You!

Set the transition you want as the default transition. Make an IN point at the first edit in your sequence, select ALL the video in the track after that and drag it to the edit overlay in the canvas and choose OVERWRITE with transition. All the edits will get your default transition.

  • Transitions on psd files

    My wife has Adobe Premier, and she can put transitions between her PSD stills with no problem. I have Final Cut, and I can't. Is there's a certain file I can use that will be transparency, and be the same quality as Photoshop files/ with layers, and will allow me to put transitions on them. In other words, what is a quality file, that has transparency, that will allow me to put a transition between stills?
    Can you help me?

    The short answer is use PNG (which will not allow layers, but will allow transparency)
    There is nothing special about PSDs that prevent you from using transitions. You always need handles in order to do transitions. The problem is that you don't have handles. FCP imports PSD files as sequences. When you initially import the PSD file, a sequence is created based on the length of your Still/Freeze Duration in the User Preferences/Editing panel. By default it is set to 10 seconds. Each layer in the PSD file is translated to a video track in FCP within that sequence. You then have the option to take only the layer(s) you want and copy them from the PSD timeline into your edited sequence or to nest the sequence into your edited sequence. If you nest the sequence, the length of the clip will be limited to the length of the sequence (by default 10 seconds) so if you try to put a transition at the end of the nested sequence, you won't have any handles. The solution is to open the PSD sequence and make all the layers much, much longer. (Be aware that if you have that PSD sequence cut in to your edited sequence already, you will probably ripple everything in that sequence to the right.) Then cut in only the length you need, and you'll have all the handles you could ask for, which will allow transitions.

  • How to code a Psd file for page template in DW to upload in bc

    Hi everyone. I was wondering. I have a psd file that I created that is my page template for my website. All the menus are on there, most of the content, and fancy designs. I've imported the psd in DW. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to code it or where I could find a link to learn or follow the precedures to code a standard page template? I would really appreciate it! thanks

    Hello Pierre,
    Seeing that you are familiar with Photoshop, but not with Dreamweaver I assumed you are a designer. If my assumption is not correct, the rest of the message does not apply.
    You could try Adobe Muse for your task. Its purpose is to aid designers create HTML websites without writing code.
    Here's the product page (it is already free if you subscribed to Creative Cloud): http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html
    And here is a tutorial explaining what you wanted to achieve: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/how-to-use-photoshop-files-in-y our-muse-website/
    I hope that helps.

  • Is there a way to prevent LR from reducing size (pixels) of files transfered to Photoshop as a psd file for editing?

    The subject line says it all.  I have discovered that LR reduces the size of files transferred to Photoshop for further editing when compared to the same RAW file processed in ACR in Photoshop.  For example, a psd file created by LR from a 36 MB RAW file will typically result in a 100 MB psd file.  The same RAW file processed similarly in Photoshop will result in a file around 300 MB.  This makes a huge difference when the files are converted to JPEGs for printing.  The smaller LR psd files result in JPEGs typically under 500 KB where the Photoshop JPEGs are typically around 1.5 MB.   

    Whew!  I didn't think this would turn into such a long discussion!.     OK - my error,  spatial data not color.  But that is loosing focus on my question.  My objective is to get the best print possible from the final JPEG file used for printing..  As previously noted, for a given RAW file w/similar adjustments but with one processed in LR and the other in PS , a print made from the larger of two resulting JPEG files, the larger JPEG file resulting from only  PS ACR processing (i.e., no LR) will result in a better print.  Elie-d appears to have answered my basic question. If LR will always pass a 103 MB file then I assume there is no way to change this size.  In case anyone is interested here is some additional info for consideration.  Both LR & PS using 8 bit mode and 240 ppi..  Procedure in LR: 1) download RAW files from camera CD; 2) make adjustments to photo;  3) using Edit in External Processor, photo transferred to PS in PSD format, 8 bit. 4) file size around 100 MB (103 MB per elie-d).  Procedure in PS:  1) download RAW file to hard drive with Nikon View2; 2) open file in PS - auto opens in ACR; 3) apply essentially the same adjustments (e.g., exposure, highlight, shadow, etc) ) as applied in LR;  4) file opened in PS editor;  5) resulting PSD file size with no further processing (i.e., no layers, etc.) is 310 MB).  The resulting JPEG file created from the LR PSD is typically less than 200 KB whereas the JPEG from the PS PSD will generally be around 1.5 MB.   As an academic question it would still be interesting to know why one gets different size PSD files from LR and PS and what, if any, affect this has on print quality.  As for now I will not use LR to process RAW files.  I prefer the larger PSD & JPEG files I get using just PS

  • What is the best way to get PATHS from one Photoshop psd file to another?

    Hi! New on the site, and I signed up specifically to ask the best way to import one .psd file into another, including the paths on the paths palette.
    Almost all of my Photoshop drawings make heavy use of vector paths, which I then stroke using using PS natural-media brushes and the "stroke paths" function (usually with "simulate pressure" checked.) Also, my .psd files tend to be, um, HUGE... and I typically break up a whole drawing into separate PS files and then assemble all of them into one final finished graphic.
    I have no trouble moving raster stuff from file to file. Just put all the layers I want to transfer into a group and drag the group to the other .psd. Works fine, including layer masks. But I have not found a good way to get vector paths from the Paths palette of one .psd to another. Of course I can select paths and copy them to the Win clipboard, switch to the other .psd, and paste them back in. The drawback to that method is that I lose the correct size relation between the results of previously done "stroke paths" operations (on raster layers) and the paths that generated them. Sometimes the copied-in paths are way too large, sometimes way too small, never Just Right.
    As I'm sure most of you know, if you resize an entire Photoshop document from within PS, any paths it contains are correctly resized along with everything else. That's no longer true after grouped raster layers are dragged over to another document but paths are copied and pasted in. The size connection is lost. (Location placement, too.)
    I WANT those paths! After I bring a piece of a drawing into the full final drawing, what looked good when I was working on it separately often doesn't look right any longer and I want to re-stroke those paths using different brush diameter, opacity, etc., or maybe even a completely different brush.
    I've tried bring outside .psd files in as smart objects with the Place command but either that doesn't work or I'm not doing it right. Using Place, the paths in the Placed document don't come in at all.
    I'll be very grateful for any hints or strategies any of you knowledgeable folks can give me. Thanks very much!

    1. Connect the two macs - firewire, ethernet, sneakernet as suits you - and copy the iPhoto Library Folder from Old Machine to New Machine. Drag it from Home/Pictures to the same location on the new machine.
    2. Because all the files 'belong' to the account on the old machine, you have to update the file permissions: hence Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
    (Credit to Old Toad for this one).
    Note: This must be run on the new machine after copying the files over.
    3. Then launch iPhoto on the new machine.

  • L'il Help Please! Text changes color half way up some characters in PDF created from PSD files

    Hi there,
    I have been asked to refresh the layout of an existing document that utilizes Zapfino font. The font is yellow with a black stroke at 50% opacity and also with a drop shadow. The group of text with the inconsistent color is immediately under a group of text w/ the same layer styles applied (which remains solid with the correct color).
    When I save the PSD file as a PDF to send the client, the yellow switches to white in a clean break arbitrarily in some of the characters in the output PDF files. I've tried rebuilding the file twice to see if there was some error in the file but to no avail.
    Any ideas on what I could try?
    Cheers,
    Mandi

    When I save the PSD file as a PDF to send the client, the yellow switches to white in a clean break arbitrarily in some of the characters in the output PDF files.
    How about posting a screenshot?
    Is the type one of the faux-styles (faux-bold, faux-italic etc.)?
    if this doesnt help, maybe try rasterizing the text?
    In general I would rather recommend »Convert to Shape« to at least maintain vector-output, but if a stroke is applied that’s probably useless anyway.

  • Can't Get Past Preview Unavailable for a PSD File

    I know that Lightroom is unable to generate previews for PSD files if they haven't been saved with the Maximize Compatibility option. But, it seems that once you begin a preview for a folder Lightroom gets stuck in that mode even if you then go ahead and resave the file with the Maximize Compatibility option set to Always.
    In a test just now I opened one of the problem files in Photoshop CS6 and saved it. Then I went back to Lightroom and tried to reimport the file but it still said Preview Unavailable. I tried toggling on/off a couple of layers and resaving but it still didn't help. So, next I actually tried making a change to the file and resaving. That still didn't work. I've tried exiting from the Import dialog in LR and restarting the import and even restarting Lightroom but nothing makes a difference.
    If I save a new copy of the file in Photoshop (without changing any settings in my Photoshop preferences) Lightroom is able to show a preview and import the copy. So, the file itself is fine. In fact, it's just a simple 1MB file with a background layer and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
    I've found this same behavior with both LR 4 and LR 5 Beta.
    I have a lot of PSD files that I've edited over the years in Photoshop. Now, I'm considering using Lightroom but if I have to create new copies of every one of my PSD files in order to see them in Lightroom I don't know if it's going to be worth the trouble. Is there any workaround?
    David Salahi

    TIFFs will hold everything that PSDs do.
    That's nice to hear. However, I found that the Image Processor conversion doesn't work correctly in some cases. Here's one example. I have a file with a single image layer and which is a Smart Object. I applied a Blur Gallery Iris Blur to this object as a Smart Filter. After running the Image Processor what I got was a flattened file with no Smart Object and no blur filter. The filter effect was rasterized so it wasn't lost but the ability to edit further was.
    And it gets worse. I have another file with a single Smart Object layer and a Nik Software Color Efex Pro filter applied. In this case, not only did it flatten the file, it didn't even render the effect correctly.
    I played around with my preferences thinking that my Maximize Compatibility or TIFF layer-save options might be causing the problem. But, so far, I haven't been able to get the Image Processor to work correctly.
    However, if I do the conversion manually I end up with a TIFF file that includes the Smart Object with Smart Filter intact. If I want to use these files with Lightroom I guess I'll have to convert each one manually.

  • How to save layers of a PSD file?

    I am a software developer and I have received a PSD file from a client. I need to be able to save the individual layers so I can apply them to the user interface. I've tried some suggestions from on-line sources but I'm still not able to export the images. The image below is what I am seeing for layers.
    All suggestions appreciated.

    The problem is that Photoshop Elements does not natively open layer sets. You'll either have to have your client send you the PSD file(s) with the layers not in layer sets or find a workaround.
    (You try a trial of Photoshop if you haven't tried out CS5 yet and do it in Photoshop. While you have the trial, you could record an action to open layer sets that could be used in Elements if you decide not to purchase Photoshop. See the Elements thread I linked...Post 6 which gives details on how to write that action.)
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
    Some have found that you can open them if you use an action.  There is a link to a freebie action written for E7 on the Elements Village forum. I don't have any personal experience with the action nor know if it still works in E8. You'll have to register to get access to the action file but the registration page says it's free (unless otherwise specified). I'm not a member of this particular site so can't say what the otherwise specified means.
    See post #6 on this page which gives details on how the action is written and where to install along with an action that has a download link:

  • Preview PSD file icons

    I just switched fom CS4 to CS5 and now my PSD files no longer show me a preview of the images. I know it has nothing to do with the versions because I have saved CS5 PSDs and the icons still do not show the actual image, just the standard PS icon. How can I set CS5 to show me the actual image of the PSD file on the icon instead of a standard PS icon?

    Change all instances of the Photoshop version to whatever you're using, i.e., "Photoshop.Image.9" becomes "Photoshop.Image.11" if you are using CS4.
    Save as Install.reg, right click and choose Merge. Make sure you have the psicon.dll where it's supposed to be. Google for this info if you don't have the icon already in place.
    Is this a hack? Depends on your definition. Photoshop used to do this whenever you installed a version prior to CS.
    Of course, the usual disclaimers and warnings apply: May cause data and or hair loss. May contribute to swollen hemorrhoids, painful rectal itch and erectile dysfunction. Do not let children play with the reg file without supervision. Consult a doctor immediately if monkeys fly out of your butt.
    OK, seriously now, data loss is the real concern. Most folks never had the problem but some did and that's why Adobe scuttled the icon thing.

  • Psd file saved in LR 5

    In LR I use a kind of automate to correct files roughly.
    When I edit a raw file in PS-CC with the ' in LR made'  corrections,  LR makes a new PSD file in LR. So far so good.
    Saving this PSD file it appears to be much different in LR, becuase of the auto correction. The files was allready correctied / develloped before the edit in PS,  now I have to reset alle setting back to 0.
    Any way to avoid this ? :-)

    In Preferences>Presets you will find a Checkbox for Apply Autotone Adjustments, uncheck this.

  • Using PSD files . . . HELP

    I have a psd file with a transparent background. I have built it video template and pixel correction in photoshop. I need to know how to use it. I place it in the timeline. If i select it I then get a additional tab in the timeling for just that image. . I have figured out that I need to make duration changes in the tab. However, when I place it in the time line again (I need to use it several time) I can't change the duration of the second without changing the first usage, them both instances do not show in the viewer.
    I have Tom Wolsky's FCE 2 book but can't find where it explains how to control a psd file. If some one could help me out it would be great. Even just directing me to the correct section of the book would help greatly.
    Thanks

    If you need to manipulate the individual layers of the image in FCP, PSD will work fine. But if you don't, then use a TIFF file. Much more convenient to work with. Plus a TIFF file format will maintain it's layer editability in Photoshop and still show any applied layer effects in FCP without having to rasterize the layers.
    For PSD, import the file, then double-click it in the Browser to load it into the Viewer. Set the duration (upper left hand TC window) prior to adding it to the Timeline.
    Once it's in the Timeline, if you double-click it, it will open in it's own Sequence. To open it in the Viewer instead, right-click on the image and select "Open in Viewer."

  • PSD files missing plugin

    When I drag and drop a picture from Aperture that was processed through photoshop and a filter (like Nik) and it is saved as a PSD, when that image is pulled over to FCPX, I get a missing plugin message.  When I do the same process, but as a tiff it seems to be ok. 
    Thoughts?

    Was the PSD an 8-bit RGB? I don't have any problems importing images with Smart Objects that have filters applied:
    The above contains 2 smart objects with artistic filters, masks, adjustment layers (levels, hue-saturation). All of these filters and adjustment layers are still available in the saved PSD file - nothing was rasterized. It imports into FCPX as a 2-layered PSD and each layer is individually accessible.
    Rasterizing is a "destructive" edit.
    PSDs must be 8-bit RGB mode in order to receive "full support" in FCPX.

    When I go to texture > texturizer and choose load, only PSD files are setup to load.  Why are some of these in jpg format and PSD?  Is there a feature that uses these jpgs, if so, where is it?  For example, what feature uses the textures Blue Pastels.jpg and Burnt Red Pastel Paper.jpg?
    Thanks, Tony

    No, filter uses the jpgs AFAIK. They are in Photoshop too. They are seamless so you could use them as is and define them as patterns; then again you can also use the PSD files to make patterns. The grass jpg is a good one to turn into a pattern.
    If you want to use them with the filters that require PSD files just save a copy of each in PSD file format. You might also think about making them black and white so you can tinker with how they will apply the texture. (White is high; black is low; 50% gray is neutral. Colors act as shades of gray so black and white might help you better predict what the result will be.)

  • When applying a transition between particular clips it only applies to the end of the previous clip and will neither 'Center on Edit' nor 'Start on Edit'. I'm kind new to FCE 4 so please excuse my inexperience.

    This indicates that you only have handles available on one side of the edit point. If the transition ends on the edit, that means that the next shop begins on the first frame of the media file and there is no room for it to extend and create the necessary overlap.
