I can not import videos frames to layers.

I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
Photoshop is not designed as a video editor. Video is more or less and add on.
Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6. While there is still support for menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers. Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop. Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better. I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into. Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want, And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements. If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud. CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended. Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can also use LR. I do not use LR or do video editing. I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video. Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

Can you import Video Frames to Layers if your video is larger than 1280x720?

I can import a video that is 1280x720 or smaller to layers, but can't import one larger than that or Photoshop freezes up. and then has to be force quit. when i reopen it after force quiting, it immediately crashes and then when i reopen it and try to import any video in any way it gives me the error message "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available."

Photoshop CS3 crashes when importing video frames to layers.

This is perhaps not the correct place to post this, but I am new to the forums, as you can see.
I saw that there was a post about this sometime last year, and I tried all the methods offered to fix the problem, but none helped.
Each time I make an attempt to import video frames to layers, I get as far as the "select range to import" screen, and then when I select the range and click ok, it says "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." And then it closes.
My operating system is Windows XP, the photoshop type I use is CS3 as I mentioned before, and I have installed Quicktime 7.3.5.
I checked one of the files I tried to use with the Mediainfo program as suggested, and got the following:
Format: MPEG-4
Format profile: Quicktime
Codec ID: qt
File size: 176 MiB
Duration: 18mn 33s
Overall bit rate: 1 327 Kbps
Writing application: Lavf53.24.2
Hopefully this is enough information for someone out there to help me, because I haven't the slightest idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance.

Convert the file in ffmpeg/ MPEGStreamclip or another tool or export it from Quicktime Pro using anotehr CoDec. PS just sucks at dealing with these compressed files and using such an old version doesn't help with contemporary digital video from a camera...

Import video frames to layers set as Quicktime files (PS5)

For some reason, suddenly when I import video frames to layers, it is now set as Quicktime files that can only be opened (AVI,MPEG etc) and won't pick up MMV files at all. I used to make a lot of gifs fine with WMV files (thats the only format Photoshop PS5 would let me open for years), now it is set up as Quicktime files all of a sudden. It only opens AVI files as well, other video formats pop up with blank screens and then go transparent. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd like to be able to make gifs with WMV files again.
Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.
I hope this question makes sense!

Something messed with your system's CoDecs - some Windows Update, anotehr app installed, a CoDec pack, whatever. Such stuff is usualyll impossible to recover short of reinstalling the whole system and you're FUBARD - even if you uninstalled the offending app, the crookedness would remain in place.

Problems with importing video frames to layers

Whenever I try to import video frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames to Layers), the little preview box of the video doesn't show up, and when I click "Okay" it only creates a bunch of solid black layers. I'm using .avi videos, which should be compatible. Can anyone help me out? :/

Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.
Click View and print details.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)

CS4 importing video frames to layers help ; no preview only white blank frames

everytime i import video frames to layers ,, i cant see any preview , theirs no images in the farmes,, all i can see is white blank frames

You simply chose a file which is encoded with an unsuitable CoDec. Export/ Convert the file in an external tool first.

Trouble importing video frames to layers

using photoshop cs5, when i import video frames to layers, i can't import mp4s. all my video files are mp4s and so not being able to import them is a bit of a pain.
i know it's supposed to be able to and it did on my previous computer but this one doesn't. any help?

Did you have a different QuickTime codec installed on the other computer? Photoshop uses QuickTime for it's video support, so if QuickTime can play/open the mp4 files, it should be able to grab the frames.

Importing video frames to layers PSCS3, vista

hi, i'm trying to import video to layers by going >file>import>video frames to layers... then selecting my avi file, an options box then appears but the preview area is blank and when i look in my layers window all the layers (500) are blank!!
any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance,

Since AVI is just a "wrapper," it can contain one of many different CODECs. To play a particular AVI, the system will need the correct one. A freeware program, G-Spot will do several things for you: tell you what the CODEC (and a lot of other specs.) is, whether your system has it, and do a render & play of the file to test other aspects of it on your system. If you do not have a particular CODEC, G-Spot will tell you exactly which one is needed. Hit the 'net and Google for that one - download and install. Be a bit shy of "CODEC packs," as most have a ton of garbage in them, and will often ruin existing CODEC installations on the system. Get just what you need.
Many CODECs are available free on the Internet. Others will require a licensing fee.

Importing video frames to layers - Photoshop doesn't support it on my version of Windows??

Ok I really need help - my laptop hard drive died yesterday and I had to get a new one. I've just booted up Photoshop on my new hard drive and it's saying it doesn't support importing video frames to layers on this version of Windows. It's Windows 7 - the same version I had yesterday (as far as I know). Does anyone know how to fix this?? I don't want to pay for someting I can't even use!!

Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.

How to import video frames as layers in Photoshop?

How to import video as layers in PhotoshopCS3. When I press "Import Video Frames To Layers", an error message pops up: Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required." I've already installed and updated QuickTime Player, but this message persists. I'm currently running QuickTime version 7.7.5. Thank you for your help.

Thank you R_Kelky for your reply.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I do see the QuickTimeGlue.dll file as you stated.
I have actually found a solution to my question. Since QuickTime 7.7.5 might be too new, I tried installing QuickTime 7.1 and the message went away. But now I run into a new problem: only .avi and a few .mov files can be uploaded correctly. When I try to upload other common video formats like .mp4, .m4v, etc, then the layers just come out as black, white, and sometimes green layers. The preview window where I drag the range length of video I want to import as layers is also blank as black, white, or sometimes green. You have any ideas what's causing this? At times, I cant even see the preview, I just get a new error message: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the file name was not valid."
Thank you for your help.

Hi, i have problem, when i press " File Import Video Frames to layers " please i need solve it fast. waiting.....

We can't know. You have not provided any system info, no details about your video files nor do we actually know what version of what program you are referring to.

Error Importing Video Frames to Layers in Photoshop CC

I'm trying to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CC, the most recent edition. I'm using a Mac OS X Maverick version 10.9.2.
The video I'm working with is a .mov file with the following codecs: Timecode, Linear PCM, CEA 708, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
When I import frames to layers, the window is black. *Note: The audio works here, picture does not appear.
When I select OK, the layers are transparent.
This issue is specific to Photoshop CC. I tested the same .mov file with the same codecs in the most recent edition of Photoshop CS6, and import video frames to layers worked successfully.
I also tested the same .mov file using another user's computer and their edition of Photoshop CC, and experienced the same issue - black screen, transparent frames.
This leads me to believe it is an issue specific to the Photoshop CC software.
Is there a fix for this, or do you have recommendations on ways to convert the .mov file so it's viewable in Photoshop CC?
Thank you for your help.
