Blocky lettering from Photoshop file

I am trying to lay some photoshop files of text over some video material. Unfortunately when I render the video the text comes out very blocky.
It's a PAL DV project if that's makes any odds.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
J

Adding text to a DV project will make it blocky...that is the nature of DV. It is compressed 5:1, and anything you add to that is as well.
For better results, when you are done, drop your project into an uncompressed 8-bit timeline and render and see what your text looks like then. Unless you have to output to DV...then you can't do that.

  • Remove timeline from photoshop file

    I have been regularly importing layered Photoshop files into After Effects.  But now the Photoshop fella has done something to make the layers into footage, that appears and disappears at certain points in time.
    I cannot find a way to completely remove any animation/timeline/footage aspect from these new photoshop files so that they import normally.
    Usually layers show up as purple elements in the After Effects timeline, and QT movies as tiel.  Now these new Photoshop files have layers showing as tiel in After Effects, just like QT movies.  I want them normal again!
    How do I convert these 'timeline/animation' PSDs back to just plain ole image PSDs?

    Just figured it out.  Under the Timeline panel/dropdown, "Convert to Frame Animation", then save the file.

  • Photoshop file corruption (selections deleted from layers)

    I was working on 5 photoshop files today. Photoshop stared previewing one of the files very oddly (when you zoomed in nothing was there).
    I saved all open files and quit Photoshop.
    Upon opening Photoshop all files had random selections deleted from the layers (please see attached)
    I have basically lost a full days work.
    has anyone had anything similar??
    Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2

    Yes, I have this corruption issue as well. For me, it is not reproducable (no specific action causes it that I have found), and intermittant (happens inconsistently but not infrequently, maybe once or twice a month out of hundreds of files and working hours). It seems like it more often happens in layer masks first, but once the corruption starts, it shows in layer image data as well. Often it looks blocky like you are seeing, and also as you mention, cached zoom levels don't show the corruption.
    I hesitate to call it corruption, but it seems to be the case—once it shows up in an open file, going back in history does NOT undo the corruption, and if you save, your image is screwed. Only way to avoid losing lots of work is to save often and close without saving when you notice corrution, then go back to where you were last time you saved. I have noticed that once you see corruption, you have to re-launch PS even if you close and re-open the file. Otherwise additional corruption will happen almost immediately.
    It smells like a RAM related issue, but it's the ONLY issue I have on any of the workstations I use where I've noticed the PS corruption issue, so if it's RAM corruption then it's something PS and only PS does to my RAM. I do a lot of heavy processing with large files, so if I had any bad RAM, I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed by now.
    I'm working on files over a local network (nearly always, all day every day). I've had the issue on multiple Macs, multiple OS versions, multiple versions of PS (since CS3, it seems like.) I do use more levels of undo that default but well within available range (100 undos--PS allows up to 1000). And my History & Cache settings are default.
    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person with this issue. It would be nice to see it fixed.

  • How do I get a text file from Photoshop  to work in the main sequence in pp?

    How do I get a text file to work properly in the master sequence. I moved it from Photoshop, which I learned to do from a tutorial, but when I move the animated text sequence to the master, it either isnt running, or it is scaled way too big. How do I get it to run in the main sequence?

    "Wont Work Here" !  Does not mean much.
    Are you having an audio or a video issue? 
    Looks like no video clip on the video layer above that section of audio.
    I am teaching myself this stuff completely on the fly
    I suggest you do the Basic Tutorials ( Adobe TV for example) in both Premiere Pro and PhotoShop.
    You need to be competent in the basics and fundamentals of these apps and that will also help you describe and discuss the issues.   Check the 'Products on this site....

  • Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

    I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
    But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
    I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
    - Turning off all other applications
    - Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
    - Restarting the computer
    - Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
    I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
    If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

    I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
    After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
    I had to:
    - Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled)  --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
    - Save EPS file out of Photoshop
    - Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
    - Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
    (the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
    This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
    NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
    - Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
    DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

  • Is it possible to export Vector Smart Objects as vector SVG files from Photoshop CC 2014?

    I have Vector Smart Objects copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. I would like to export them as vector SVG files (using Generator or Extract Assets). I can add the .svg extension to the layer and actually export an SVG just fine. The problem is any SVG I have exported have all been raster images. It defeats the purpose of having that as an option as far as I'm concerned.
    I remember watching and listening to keynotes and other speakers at Adobe MAX 2014 who said it was so powerful and amazing to create SVG files from Photoshop. If we're still exporting raster SVG files from Photoshop...that's not very impressive or exciting--especially since this era of modern web development benefits greatly from using vector SVG files.
    I understand that Shape Layers can be exported as vector SVG files but that seems very limiting. I also realize that users can create some impressive vectors in Photoshop, but that is not optimal. Illustrator is a better tool for creating vectors and I normally use Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side. I know that vector SVG files can be exported from Illustrator but that isn't as user friendly and convenient as utilizing Photoshop > Generator > Reflow.
    My idea was to create my assets in Illustrator, paste them into Photoshop as Vector Smart Objects, set up my layout, and then use the Generator/Reflow method or Extract Assets to get a new web design started.
    Maybe I misunderstood what the speakers at Adobe MAX had said. Perhaps it's just user error and I'm just missing something simple (it happens).
    Photoshop CC 2014 notes the following under Help > System Info:
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532  x64
    Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

    Not quite the same, but have a look at the new Libraries feature that came with 2014.2.2  I just tried it, and dragging a vector object into a library I created in Photoshop, was there in Illustrator.  This happens without having to close and reopen Illustrator.  Just use the drop down at the top of the Libraries panel (in Illustrator) to find your custom, or job specific library.

  • How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

    Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

    This is the authors description of the panel:
    Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
    Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
    Please contact me to suggest improvements.
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
    Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
    Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
    Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
    Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
    Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
    Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
    Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
    Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
    Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
    City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
    State: List the State where the image was taken.
    Country: List the County where the image was taken.
    Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
    Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
    Date Scanned:                xmp_path: 'CreateDate'   Pre-existing property name
    Provider:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit'    Pre-existing property name
    Provenance:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
    Description Provided By:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy'  Pre-existing property name
    Description Surety:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
    Complete Subject Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description'   Pre-existing property name
    Informal Subject Description:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption'   Pre-existing property name
    Media Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
    Annotations:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
    Special Editing/Alterations:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
    City/County:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City'    Pre-existing property name
    State:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State'    Pre-existing property name
    Country:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country'   Pre-existing property name
    Photo Date:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated'   Pre-existing property name
    Keywords:               xmp_path: 'Keywords'   Pre-existing property name
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only.  It may not work on earlier versions.  FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
    The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
    Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
    the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
    Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels
    I actually do not understand how to write a panel but here is the actual panel:
    <?xml version="1.0">

  • How do I resolve issues with missing layers when opening a Tiff file from Photoshop CS5.1?

    I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue. Any recommendations?

    Thanks Curt... I don't think my explanation was clear. I'm downloading an image from an external webiste. The image downloads in a ZIP archive. After extracting from the Zip file, I go into photoshop and do file open. Only part of the image appears. It looks as if it's the top layer of a photoshop image but since I didn't build the image, I'm not certain it was built with multiple layers. Any ideas?

  • PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

    My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
    Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
    I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
    Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
    In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
    Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
    Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
    Has anybody already found the fix?
    I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

    Just a few examples, since you ask:

    That attitude, Dr. Craig.  Plus the verbosity you unconscionably inflicted on your fellow forum users.

  • How do I get the file nformation from photoshop to move over to InDesign and once info is there how to I get InDesign to create captions from it?

    I need to be able to create captions from the metadata  located in the file info on .png images created in Photoshop.  I have been running into multiple issues.
    1. The data from Photoshop is not showing up in the InDesign File Info
    2. When I simply recreate the information - it is very basic simply description and copyright - the active caption that is generated reads <no data from link>
    Obviously I'm missing an essential step by I cant figure out what.
    Help point me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

    I just tried that and still the same issue.  I right clicked the graphic, (first made sure that the metadata was  in the File Information window), then Captions > Captions Setup > OK.  The Metadata fields are Description and Copyright.  When I try to generate a Live Caption I get the <no data from link> message and for the Static Caption I get an empty container below the graphic

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

    I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

    There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer.  when it came up, the scanner had already been added again.  With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application.  I tried it, and it works quite well.

  • Getting my indesign files to look what I'm out putting from Photoshop

    Has anyone printed Blurb books using Indesign. There is supposedly this PDF work flow for Blurb books when using Indesign for Blurb books. Yet the printers that Blurb uses are best suited for SRGB like most labs..
    Blurb strongly recommend one convert their files to CMYK when using Indesign.
    I'm trying to figure out why in photoshop my files which will have great color and contrast and I'm using the custom proof setting in Photoshop for the  Blurb ICC profile which is CMYK. Yet same color
    file inside of Indesign will look different. Help
    I'm getting to the point of looking at the rgb color values of my files in the information  menu in Photoshop. So once i get my files back where I might have remove a certain amount of red from the file.
    The blurb book may come back with the image being too red for my liking which is why I will remove some red from my fils. If I remove a certain amount of red out of the file only to receive a Blurb book where the file
    comes back looking a bit too yellow. I need a more consistent way of judging my colors for this Blurb PDF workflow for using Indesign CS5.5  Plus you can get  a proofs  from Blurb and there isn't any comparison ink jet paperto use
    on a ink jet printer to smilar the output for the blurb books
    Blurb uses HP pritnters to print their digital book. Help.

    Looking at Blurb's printing specs they recommend sending sRGB not CMYK:
    http://www.blurb.com/educators/pdf/Blurb-Photographer-FAQ-02-18-09.pdf
    They do offer a CMYK profile for soft proofing probably so users see RGB color in some CMYK gamut. I think most online printers do not allow CMYK to be output unchanged particularly if they offer uncoated printing—where unchecked total ink would be an obvious problem in an automated offset process.
    Blurb offers one CMYK profile (looks like they've simply renamed Coated GRACoL) even though they print on a variety of coated and uncoated sheets, so even if you converted everything to CMYK using the provided profile, it is unlikely that those CMYK values would get printed—Coated GRACol would not work for Mohawk Superfine.
    Since it's likely that all color will get converted on their end, providing the recommended sRGB and avoiding extra conversions is the best bet.

  • Is there a way to batch-name photoshop files from an Excel (or other) list?

      I have a couple hundred photos that need to be resized and named. I've got a PS action that resizes them, but is there a way to also have them pull the name from an Excel (or other type) of list?
    I found this vbs script that will pull values from an excel file and paste them into a layer, so it's close... but not close enough for me to know how to reconfig it for my purposes.
    http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5182
    I am on a Mac (OS X 10.8) and using Photoshop CS6 and Office 2011, if it matters.

    Well this is bare bones but may help… As is it just reads a list from text file… Gets the JPEGs of a given folder and re-names them… Should be an easy edit to adjust to your needs… It does nothing to check anything adds up… What file formats do you have and do the new names already have proper extension…?
    renameFiles();
    function renameFiles() {
              var i, files, fold, names;
              names = File.openDialog( ' Where be the file names…?' );
              fold = Folder.selectDialog( ' Where be the files…?' );
              if ( names != null && fold != null ) {
                        files = fold.getFiles( '*.jpg' );
                        names.open( 'r' );
                        count = files.length;
                        for ( i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
                                  files[i].rename( names.readln() + '.jpg' );
                        names.close();
