Can't edit xdcam HD 422 in CS5.5

I can't figure out why I can't play any XDCAM HD 422 footage in PPRO 5.5
When I first open PPRO I can usually play a take in the source window once. If I try to play the same footage a second time the source monitor goes black.
That also happens if I open the footage in the timeline.
Do you think I have a bug in the software?
My specs are up to the requirements for CS5.5.
Anybody with the same problem?
Thanks,
Paulo Zero

Ok well CS6 had it's own problems with the footage - it kept giving me the message "the importer encountered a generic error" - thanks Adobe for the extremely unhelpful error message.
I believe (though this is just a guess) that the problem stems from the process of copying the footage from the optical discs to a hard drive - in my case I used a Sony PDW-U1 XDCAM drive to copy to a Westerm Digital USB hard drive. I thought I kept the file structure intact by simply dragging the entire contents of each optical disc to a folder on the USB drive named Disc 01, Disc 02 and so on. When I browsed to those folders using the Adobe Media Browser it displayed the clips correctly - so it certainly seemed like it should work - yet for some reason it didn't - repeatedly.
I found a 'reasonable' work-around that I know works with CS6 and CS5.5 - you simply convert the MXF file to MXF OP1A using Adobe Media Encoder. If you make your output options the same as your source footage it's lossless and encodes at near real time (or better, depending on your system.) Once the files have been converted they load right in to Premiere just as you'd expect.
In my case I didn't need audio so I just opened windows explorer and did a search in the XDCAM HD422 CLPR folder by putting '?????V??.MXF' in the search bar. I then copied the found files into a new folder, and made that folder a 'watch' folder in Adobe Media Encoder and let it plug away for a couple hours.
I suppose I should be thankful that Adobe's Media Encoder at least works as promised, but after THREE lost days spent pulling my hair out while trying every conceivable combination of drivers, software versions, computer systems and so on - the only thank you I have for Adobe is "Thanks for nothing."
It's obvious they were aware of XDCAM issues with CS5, such as the well documented looping audio problem, among others - yet they didn't and still haven't addressed it, and obviously they never will. I know it's unreasonable to expect every bug to be fixed in a program as complicated as Premiere, but this one really frustrated the hell out of me. I was about to buy a new laptop just to see if that would help. Thankfully I left Best Buy without buying one since it turns out my old system(s) are perfectly capable of handling XDCAM HD 422.

Why can´t I edit XDCAM HD 422 in PPRO 5.5?

Hello all,
I´m using a DELL M6600 laptop workstation with
a I7
16 gig RAM 1.6
NVIDIA 4000M
2 750gig HDD 7500rpm RAID 0.
Whem I import a clip to view in the timeline I see a few seconds of video and then it goes to black.
Also when I import a clip from Media Browser I get 8 audio clips a proxy clip and a full resolution video clip. Is there a way to get a full resolution clip with audio?
Any help would be appreciated!!

I found this out on another client months back and would not be surprised if 5.5 has not fixed that and may be now causing your problem. Switch to Software MPE mode and delete the preview cache if you enabled your mobile for the hardware acceleration. See if that fixes the video playback.

I can't edit my photos in Photoshop CS5.

I'm not able to edit my photos from iPhoto in Photoshop CS5. I've already tried the Preferences and chosen Photoshop as my editing program. I can't even drag and drop the photos into Photoshop. I've even tried to email them to myself. No luck. All I can do is LOOK AT them in iPhoto! Help, I'm on a deadline!

Are you able to open and edit a photo outside of iPhoto with CS5? When you selected CS5 as the editor in iPhoto's preferences did you select the folder that holds CS5
or did you select the application:
Some have made the mistake of selecting the folder. Be sure you haven't.
The following are tips on using Photoshop from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop CS3 (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
(the PS screenshots are from CS3)
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
s I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

Premier Pro CC can't edit XDCAM EX footage

Adobe: Please fix the bug that prevents Premiere Pro CC from playing XDCAM EX footage properly. It plays with glitches, pixelated, horrible, unusable.

I'm working with XDCAM HD (MXF from PDW700) and XDCAM (MP4 from EX3) in Premiere CC....
Everything works fine...maybe something wrong with your system?

Your Template code is incomplete / corrupted.
That's why you can't edit it.
Try opening your .dwt file in a plain text editor like NotePad. Remove the editable regions from code. Save. Open in DW.
You will need to SaveAs Template (same name as the one used by your child pages). Add editable regions to match the ones in your child pages. Save.

Can't Edit SWF in CS5 Flash Pro

Forgive the noobness, but I'm trying to find out why I can't open a SWF file in CS5 Flash Pro.
When I attempt to open the file, it opens in a box as seen in this screeen cap.
I'm using Win 7 on my desktop.

You should always start your own posting rather than tagging onto someone else's... especially one that is already marked as answered. Postings with 0 reolies draw attention.
Your version of Flash is too old to be able to open the files from that tutorial. The tutorial is using either CS4 or CS5.

How can I edit .avi files in FCPX?

What's the best way to convert .avi files so they can be edited in FCPX and then "shared" with iPad and Apple TV2? Definition of best meaning least amount of time and effort without noticeable degradation of quality. I'm an advanced amateur photographer with increasing interest in video but limited knowledge of the technical aspects.
Now shooting HD with a DSLR camera but have over 100 hours of home/family video taken with Canon GL1 (mini-DV tape) then captured using Sony Vegas Pro. Captured files are .avi, NTSC, 29.97, 720x480, interlaced, 15 minutes or less duration.
Re-capturing original DV tapes to FCPX would be very time consuming. Don't know why but Vegas Pro 8 running on my older PC (Windows XP) refuses to render out to any of the QuickTime presets including uncompressed. Have Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, FCPX and Compressor running on new iMac.
My "trial and error" approach isn't working. Main problem seems to be with de-interlacing. Have converted .avi files to ProRes 422 using both Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Interlacing "jaggies" are apparent with both when edited in FCPX. Jaggies can be eliminated using combinations of "progressive" field order and "blend frame" output option but this results in artifacts and/or noticeably soft image. Best results so far are by converting .avi to ProRes 422 using Adobe preset (lower field first) then using Apple Compressor's "Apple Device: SD for iPad …" output preset to convert the ProRes 422 to .m2v. Still seems a little fuzzy on iPad but maybe my eyes are just wearing out from all the hours I've spent on this problem.
Thanks in advance for your time and any help you can pass along. The more I work with FCPX, the better I llike it.

MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

Can I Edit SD and HDV footage at the same time in CS4?

I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder and I'm looking at buying a Sony HDR-HC# HDV 1080i camcorder to use as a second camera on video shoots. Can I edit footage from both cameras on the same timeline in CS4? I'm using a PC, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with an Intel (R) Pentium (R) 2.80 GB processor with 2.5 GB of RAM. Thanks!
Lewis B.

Do you already have CS4 ?
CS5 is days away. 9 Days for the first look.
I have a Windows XP 2005 with 3.4GHz with 4GB of ram and it cant handle HDV for HD video.
I have a Sony HVR Z1U and use the in camera down-rez and edit in SD just fine.
Like said before you really need a new computer to edit the HDV but if your going to DVD then your only using SD anyway.
But to answer you question you can mix formats with CS4.
As you can see my system ranks second from last on Bills Benchmark tests.

Take the test to see how your system stacks up.

How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6?

How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6? The company hired somebody to set up the droplet years ago, and nobody remembers how it was set up. The computer that was used to save the files has crashed, and I need to change the path the droplet uses for saving the files. I tried to open the droplet with Image Ready, but it said it was not an image ready droplet and could not be opened. The computer running Photoshop is using Windows XP.

It seems that the script on the ps scripts page is to old to work in cs5.
This is a lnk to xtools 1.8 which has the latest version of the droplet decompiler:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/xtools/
Just unzip, find the Apps folder and look for the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
Then put your droplet on the desktop, Use File>Scripts>Browse in cs5 to navigate to the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
Here's an example using the Aged Photo.exe droplet from the ps 6 samples folder:
here's the resulting action opened in cs5:

Can't edit PDF, not even select anything

Hello community!
I got a PDF that is not write-protected, not passworded, not restricted in any way from what my Acrobat 9 tells me, nor it does not seems to be PDF/X, PDF/E or PDF/A.
But I can not edit anything or even select text or objects. The pages are normal A4 pages with text and images, nothing scanned, created in Indesign CS5.5 (from the document properties), but exported
with something called Ghostscript.
Any clue what switch I need to toggle to make this refusing POS bend to my will?
Thanks in advance.

Does it definitely contain any text? You can test that by trying to copy/paste text. It could be outlined shapes (nasty, but often done).
Does it definitely contain images? A photo is an image but a logo might be drawn shapes.
What happens if you use the Touch-Up Object Tool (not Select Object Tool), then Edit > Select all?

Can't edit html

I have Dreamweaver CS5. Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8. I downloaded the page and opened it in Dreamweaver but I can't edit the html. I When I tried to delete some code it didn't move.
Any ideas what's going wrong please?

Hi,
1. In my IE 8, the page is correct, your findings "Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8." I can't confirm.
2. The site uses templates. If you need suggestions for their treatment you can find them here for example (look for Murray's hint):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/700322?tstart=0 or in other threads if you use DW threads search funktion.
... or you come back with the concrete terms for "When I tried to delete some code it didn't move."

I can't edit anything. Only the little grab hand shows up.

Nothing on my tool bar works. I can click and change my tool, but any time I scroll to my work station, the only thing that shows up is a grab hand. I can't edit any of my projects because of this. Help me please (:

kyleebreann,
You may try the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can't edit home page

When I select "edit page" on the home page I get an error message (in both CS3 and CS5; I just upgraded because I thought the problem might lie with an incompatibilty with the old version). I have no problems with any of the other pages on this web site. There's no open draft of the page at the time. Help!?!

Thanks for trying, but that doesn't work.
I'm the administrator, owner, and sole user. When I click on "administer websites - manage sent drafts" there are no entries in the manage sent drafts box. And I can't "send for edit" or "send for review" because I have to get a successful response when I click on "edit this page", and that's where the trouble originates.
I've used "save as" to save the page with another name and managed to edit it, but then I can't save it under the "proper" name (which would be index.htm) because I get an error message saying that file name already exists, and I'm not given an option to replace/rewrite the existing file. So I've been unable to publish the new page to the server so that it can see it with my browser. I still get the old version with the browser.
I can't even delete the page (in order to replace it with the new one) because I get that same message error "You can't edit this page because is editing it".
I'm now trying to manage page expiry to see if I can get rid of the original page that way...
Any other suggestions will be most welcome!

Can't edit my front page?

When I try to edit my front page in Contribute CS5 my screen is gray with the header and I can't edit it, it is just blank. I can edit all other pages but not my front page. I need help!

Have you checked for .lck files on the server?
Dowload a free FTP-manager (Filezilla f.i.)
Search for a file named: nam-of-your-page.lck

Can't edit dng in Elements

I just downloaded the trial version of Elements and am trying to open some DNGs from Lightroom 3.2 - Edit In... PS Elements.
However unlike PS CS5, they won't open directly, but I get the dialogue box asking me to edit a copy (the only option available).
Why's that?

You can send a DNG or RAW to CS5 and do things to it as a RAW that cannot be done in Lightroom. This is not true of Elements. If you could send a DNG or RAW to Elements, you can only do things in Elements to the RAW that can also be done in Lightroom. So, there is no point to send a RAW to Elements from Lightroom. Do all your RAW/DNG processing in Lightroom, then send a TIF to Elements.
I do all my relevant adjustments in Lr, but I have to send the images to Ps for cloning/healing and perspective control as in don't have enough control in Lr3.
When I send a DNG from Lr to Ps CS5, I'm actually converting to Tiff on the way, I don't open the DNG in ACR. If I close the image in Ps without saving, no new files are created. However, in Elements, Lr creates the Tiff files first, then opens them in PsE.
I can't understand why they have to be different, and why they are designed to be different. Is there a point?
Well, I uninstalled Elements now as it is painfully slow in saving. Though there was one thing Iliked in Elements: the fact that a locked background layer does't have to be double clicked to unlock when I want to transform that layer. In Ps it requires a couple more clicks to unlock.
