Cannot import PSD into Premiere

I've been unable to import a .psd into PPro CS4 for Mac - it just hangs on the 'import layered file' dialogue box without showing me any options (i.e.- choosing between importing a single layer or the merged layer). I can iport a jpeg and a tiff but that doesn't give me the transparency I need. This has not been an issue in any other version of Premiere, is it a problem with CS4 or the Mac? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Have you tried other .psd files? Is the problem that .psd files won't import no matter which .psd file is used?

Importing .psd into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I am trying to import a Photoshop file (.psd) into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I've watched all these tutorials and they make it look so easy using Import > Adobe Photoshop file and then it appears in the source monitor--it seems to be the same as well on their tutorials. However, my .psd file which needs to have white font and does in Photoshop comes up as different color (black) and is much smaller. I am doing this in a 4K sequence, I understand the dimension aspect, but when I try to import I set as Single Layers and it doesn't matter--black font again. Is there something I am doing wrong in PS or PP or both? I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm in a rut and nothing seems to work. The Photoshop file is one that was preloaded for this band but it just does not import correctly. Any other options for getting a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro CC 2014 or AE. I also tried this in CS6 and was hoping to just copy and paste into CC 2014. I can't believe it is this hard. I must be doing something wrong especially since everyone else seems to do it so easy. Thanks for you help.

Importing psd into premiere pro cs4 failure

I am running an xp 64bit comp with the master suite, when i try to import a simple psd file into premiere i get an error message stating unsupported format or damaged file. Also another problem I am having is importing mp4's, it simply doesnt happen. It is all on a fresh brand new machine which might be missing codecs or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Yes, CMYK (can affect TIFF's too) has tripped up many. As much of my work is for print, I hit that early on, and scratched my head, until I grabbed the RGB version (usually give clients both), and viola, it worked.
Another similar tripping point is 16/32-bit PSD's. If one works with Camera RAW, they often leave the files in a higher bit-depth, for better color, Levels and Curves editing, but forget to drop this to 8-bit for Video. All of my Actions include the Mode changes, just in case they are not already in the correct Mode.
Good luck, and glad that things are working.

PS - there have been some reports of PSD Importing failing, though all else is good, when one, or more Layers, contain only a very small pixel count. This often happens when one has a very small "logo," or similar in a much larger PSD. I've not hit this, but many have. One fix is to separate out the logo, and Import it a bit larger, then Scaling in PrPro. Personally, where possible, I like to keep the Scaling to an absolute minimum in PrPro, and do as much as is possible in PS.

Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!
I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

Importing .PSDs into CC as movieClips

Hello,
I rely on flash for work, importing psds into flash is a regular part of my day - but it looks like with FlashCC the funtionality to import layers as movieclips, and to set the registration point of those movie clips has been removed. Im working with multiple files with hudreds of layers, and going through converting each layer into a movieclip is very inconvenient. Is there something Im missing or is there no way to do this?

This was changed in flash CC. You can see more details on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1238722?tstart=0
Have a bug created and tarcking this internally for a later update.

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4

CS4 I have created compositions in After Effects CS 4 but when I import them into Premiere Pro CS4 they only appear in the monitor when the play button is activated. The other clips appear without a problem. I noticed that the same situation arises when I dynamically link to Encore CS4. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Ann. But the problem is when switched on the AE clips on the timeline are only viewable when I start the project (ie press the space bar) and as it also doesn’t appear in Encore I am afraid to spend a great deal of time creating a DVD with these clips not appearing. Any advice?
Regards and again many thanks

Cannot import clips into iMovie 08

I have a few clips that were spliced together with QTPro and now I cannot import them into iMovie08. I have checked the movies themselves and I do not see any specific info that would cause a problem.
I cannot drag and drop the clips into iMovie nor can I use the import function, as the .mov files are greyed out.
This didn't happen before I upgraded to QT Pro.

AAC, MPEG-4
For the moment will assume you mean QT MPEG-4 here and not something like Microsoft's non-standard variation. (If not QT then please advise.) In the case that it is QT MPEG-4, did any of the source files contain extraneous tracks like an iPhoto slideshow with its "Tween" track. Such extraneous tracks are not understood by iMovie '08 and it will reject their import. If so, then use QT Pro to delete the extraneous track(s)

Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source. There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline. Any fix for this?

I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

How can I make title screens in either Illustrator or Photoshop and import them into Premiere Pro?

I'm having trouble finding the identical aspect ratio to import either an Illustrator or Photoshop title screen into Premiere Pro. There are so many ratios to choose from with Premiere Pro that I've about lost my mind. I was able to import Photoshop title screens into iMovie with no problem. I'll be importing the finished video into my YouTube channel. I want it to be widescreen but have no clue which ratio to use. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I always start with New Image in Photoshop, and then choose a Video Preset, that matches my PrPro Sequence. I use one with Guides. I usually choose to create that New Image with a Transparent Background.
Once complete, I just do a Save_As to PSD, which will be Imported into PrPro. If you have Ps Layers, you have two choices on Import: you can Import as Footage, which will Flatten your Layers, or you can Import as a Sequence to keep the Layers separate. Depending on what I will be doing, I might select one, or the other. If you Import as a Sequence, you can then animate each Layer individually.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing files into Premiere Pro from DVD

Using the CS3 Version of Premiere Pro...
Ok on my DVD recorder I have a load of recorded programs, I'm now trying to import them on to my computer and then edit them on Premiere Pro. Now I can't even play these files, well I can't seem to play any videos from DVDs. (I think I need to download something in able for me to do it, that's a different issue but if anyone could help me with that I would be grateful too. The message that comes up for it is "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings".)
Okay anyway to the real issue, these files are not able to be imported into Premiere Pro as they are not the right format.
Ok on the disc it has two folders, "VIDEO_RM" & "VIDEO_TS".
In the "VIDEO_RM" folder, they are all under the same name as the folder but one is a BUP file, one is a IFO file and the other a DAT file. The DAT file is the one that is the biggest size, the other two being 32kb.
In the "VIDEO_TS" folder, there is a "VIDEO_TS" BUP file, a "VIDEO_TS" IFO file, a "VIDEO_TS" VOB file, a "VTS_01_0" BUP file, a "VTS_01_0" IFO file, a "VTS_01_1" VOB file, a "VTS_01_2" VOB file and a "VTS_01_3" VOB file. The VOB files are the bigger files.
Ok if you aren't lost by now or haven't given up on me, what do I do now? I can't get these into my Premiere Pro project, I've heard stuff saying I need to convert it but all these convertion programs are complicated or I need to pay to be able to convert it or convert it with some text over it.
Is there a way of importing these files into Premiere Pro through a different method than normal, or do I have to convert them? If so does anyone reccomend any programs.
I'll appreciate any help and feedback given. I've been trying to work this out for the last few months trying to create a project for my Dad for Christmas but only now I've plucked up the courage to ask.
Thanks,
Andrew Mountier

Importing .psd into Illustrator with Windows 7

Since installing CS3 design premium onto my new Windows 7 computer, I have run into difficulty when trying to import .psd files. Trying to import the file usually doesn't do anything. Even when I open a file with a linked .psd file, it pops up with an error message "An error occurred trying to read the linked file 'xxxxxxxxx.psd.'" Reimporting file doesn't do anything. Either nothing happens or I am told I do not have enough memory to complete the action
For the most part, I've worked around this by saving my .psd as .tiff and importing the new file format. However, when I need to import a .tiff with transparency, Illustrator it tells me that Illustrator doesn't support that type of .tiff file.
Is this a Windows 7 issue? Or something else?
I am running Windows 7 Pro, Core i7, 1.73GHz, 64-bit, 6GB RAM.

Harron, Hi
I have both Vista 64-bit OS and Win7 64-bit OS and am running CS4 and CS5 suites. I have had not a single problem Placing files into Illustrator CS4 or CS5 from Photoshop (32-bit) CS4 or (32-bit) CS5 [CS4 to CS4 and CS5 to CS5]. I cannot vouch for CS3 and I cannot troubleshoot earlier versions of CS such as CS(1) since CS(1) doesn't operate on 64-bit platforms with much success.

Cannot import .mxf into PPCC2014, but can into CS6 on same laptop.......huh?

Just bought a new Asus laptop.
i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
16 GB ram
64 bit Operation
Nvidia Geforce GTX860m
I installed PPCC2014. I cannot import .mxf files from a Canon XF300. I CAN import them into CS6 on the same laptop.
I've been editing .mxf files on my desktop for years in PP, and for the last year on CC2014
I tried taking the .mxf file out of the folder, (which contains .cif, .xml and .sif file) and importing alone and it doesn't work.
The message I get is "unsupported or damaged file."
I've tried importing by dragging and by using import in premiere.
Anyone know what might be going on?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have come across this before. Seems Premiere Pro isn't properly activated. I would suggest the following steps:
Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
Now move the following folders to desktop:
1) SLCache
Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
2) SLStore
Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
3) OOBE
Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID.
NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.
If that doesn't help, i would suggest running the CC cleaner tool to uninstall Adobe apps and then reinstall: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Thanks,
Rameez

Cannot Import SWF to Premiere

I did this the other day and it worked fine. I uploaded an old swf cartoon that I made, and it imported fine. Today I went back into premiere and tried to import a different file, and it just freezes. I tried to go back and import the same file I did the other day, and it is freezing as well. I attempted this multiple times with the same result. I tried the age old computer remedy of rebooting, and it worked, but only once. Again, everything swf I try to import causes the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Unable to View .mod files in Photoshop Elements 11, can see they are there but no picture, I import them into Premiere and all OK ?

I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?

Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.
