Can't add JPEGs to timeline

Our charity just purchased the Adobe Premier Elements program.  I am familiar with Photoshop, but Premier is new to me.  So far, I cannot get hardly ANYTHING to work right.
I imported photos from an event to try and just make a sample movie so I can get my feet wet within the program but I keep getting the message: GENERIC FAILURE - This type of file is not supported, or the required codex is not installed. This is becoming QUITE FRUSTRATING.
I have viewed a few of the threads regarding this issue and have checked the photos that I am attempting to use.  They are all RGB, 8-bit images in JPEG format.  If I cannot make even a simple slideshow, how is this suposedly "superior" progam going to do videos?  If anyone can help, please do!  I do not want our Non-Profit having to go and buy another program all becasue a    Adobe can't get their act otgether.  I thought the Elements programs were supposed to be the "simplified" versions of the professional versions of the programs and thus easier for laymen to use.  but when you have experience in Adobe and you are pulling your hair out trying to get the dang this to work, well guess what Adobe...you didn't do your job!
Someone...Anyone...PLEASE HELP!

  • Can't drag jpegs to timeline - File not supported??

    Hello, installed trial version of Premier 8, and have purchased PSE8.  When setting up a new movie in Premier, the Organize pane correctly shows all my jpegs from the PSE8 catalog, but when I try to drag one or several to the timeline (were it says "Drag next clip here") I get an error pop-up "Generic Failure - This type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed".  What is going on?  Any ideas? thanks!

    Also, do these JPEGs come directly from a camera?
    In addition to the size issue Neale brings up, Premiere Elements can only work with photos that use standard 24-bit (8-bits per channel) RGB or black & white. (If your photo is coming from a camera or Photoshop Elements, this will not be a problem. But some more advanced photo editors can save in CMYK and more advanced color modes.)

  • Can't add things to timeline

    I downloaded Premiere Pro CC trial to see what's what etc.
    I have a project with single frames for a stop motion I'm making already on the timeline in a sequence already created.
    But I now have a problem of not being able to add anything to the timeline anymore!  Whenever I drag anything onto the timeline, I get the hand with the circle and line through it. Insert button also doesn't work.
    Not sure what the problem is, please help.
    Here is a screenshot of my timeline if it helps.

    Click on the V1 in the first column.
    You can have no tracks selected, or one track selected, but you can't have a track with V1 that isn't selected.

  • Can't add jpeg signature via use an image?

    We are using Adobe XI Pro and we are unable to place a signature by "Use an Image" and browse to a .jpeg file and import that in. Is there a factory reset for the settings so that we can get that option back.  Seems like the "First time signing" never appears we even tried uninstalling the software and re-installing but still no luck, was wondering if anybody can provide some insight?

    You cannot use a jpeg image for signing.  The written signature must be within a PDF document.  Get a blank sheet of white paper (the brighter the better), and write the signature anywhere on the page.  Scan and save the page as a PDF.  Now, when you click on Use an Image and select this PDF, you'll see the signature appear in the small preview box.  Adobe Acrobat will find the signature on the page and automatically crop it out.

  • Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

    On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
    Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
    <input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
    mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

    ''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
    You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
    <pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>

  • I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto.  But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11.  If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd.  Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
    While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
    I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
    The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
    Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

    The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

  • Can't add tasks to Sharepoint 2013 Timeline

    We have a Sharepoint 2013 site with Project functionality enabled, although all data has been manually entered. There is a list of tasks and sub-tasks, but we can't add them to the timeline. The option is there, but clicking it for any task does nothing.
    The tasks have start and end dates.

    Try this:

  • Can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, rather than single actions only?

    can you add transitions to entire timeline at once, or only a single transition between two individual clips, which then must be repeated throughout the entire timeline? It would save time to do entire timeline with one transition action.

    As I show you in my book, you select several clips on your timeline at once and right-click, you will find the option to Add Default Transition to all.
    You can set your Default Transition by right-clicking a transition in the Transitions panel.

  • How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express?

    How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express 4? I need to export an .mov file in the JPEG2000 format but it is not available as a quicktime export option. Is this something that I can add via a quicktime .component? Would appreciate any insight anyone might have... Thank you.

    I believe you need to purchase the QuickTime Pro key ($29.99 USD).  Once you enter the registration number in System Preferences for QuickTime Player 7, it 'unlocks' several export features, including JPEG2000.

    Yes, you can add an image.  Try the following html script with your image.name:

  • Garageband can't add loops

    I am trying to save some software instrument regions I've created as loops that I can add to the Loops librar so I can easy add them to other projects. Everywhere I look for how to do this, I am instructed to select the region, then go to Edit > Add to Loop Library. The problem is that this option is not in m Edit menu at all. I have tried closing and re-opening GB, rebooting the computer, and making sure I have the latest version of GB. But no mater what I've tried, this option does not appear in my Edit menu. What am I doing wrong?
    The othe rmethod I've tried is dragging the region over from the main window to the loops menu and dropping it in there. But when I click-hold and drag the region, it simpl slides it around the timeline as if I am trying to move it further behind in the track. It does not allow me to drop it in the Loops menu.
    Any help?

    In GarageBand 10 it will look like it is not working, it is a bit confusing, but try this:
    Cut the region you want to turn into a loop exactly at the bar line.
    Show the loop browser pane.
    Select the region, grab it with the mouse and drag it over to the loop browser.
    It will look, like you were shifting the loop in the track - simply ignore this.
    Release the mouse, when it is over the loop browser and the panel to add the loop should open.
    Name the loop and set the attributs to index it.

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • Can't add artwork to itunes movies

    Hi,
    I am using Video Converter Ultimate to load my dvd collection in iTunes movies.  The converter output is .m4v file.  When I add artwork to the "Artwork" tab of the Get Info box It will add but then I get a spinning colored ball and I must force quit iTunes.  When I reopen the move in iTunes the movie will not play.  The move is there but when playing the movie it is black (no video will play).  Any suggestions?
    Thank you
    VPH

    The Movies are M2V formated, and have AC3 Audio (Have an AC3 Plugin' and Have Apples MPEG 2 component). So please can anyone help me get Artwork to my Movie in iTunes?
    Sorry to say, it is not possible in this case. The ability to add/contain graphic "artwork" in iTunes is a property of the file container here. M4V and MP4 containers, for instance, can contain one such independent graphic. On the other hand, an MOV (assume you saved your M2V/AC3 data as an MOV) file cannot. On the other hand, your MOV file can have a "poster frame." If you are not a "purist," you can get around this problem by simply adding/drag 'n dropping your graphic to an appropriate point in your MOV file (I would recommend the end of the file), setting it as your "poster frame," and saving the file. In iTunes, this "poster frame" will now show up in your "artwork" display locations. (PS -- this is on a separate track as you attempted to do. In QT Pro, pre-position playhead to end of file and add JPEG track last so its layer is above main movie layer.)

  • How can I insert jpeg images into a PDF's Header and Footer?

    International Clients send me a lot of pdf price lists (hundreds).  I want to be able to easily add our letterhead header and footer jpegs to my Acrobat one time so that I can then have them easily placed and printed on each new original document I receive when I (re)print them as a new (compressed) pdf.   This will streamline my work so that when I send them out and they start circulating among Buyers they can clearly see that we are the US contact for XYZ Client?
    Thank you.

    If you add a background or water mark, as opposed to a footer/header, you can specify an image to use.
    You can also use JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button or menu item so that you can easily add the images to a documant, or even in a batch process, using a variety of methods. Post again if you'd like more information.

  • HELP! I can't add any clips to the storyline.

    It used to work fine, dragging clips to the storyline or using Insert or Append.
    Now I can't add any clips to the storyline, dragging doesn't seem to drag any clips, Append and Insert don't react.
    I create a new project, and I see the storyline, but can't add anything to it.
