Could not complete the video frames to layers because of a program error

Whenever I try to import video into frames to layers on photoshop, I get this error. (could not complete the video frames to layers because of a program error)
Why is that and how do I fix it???

You see my C:\ drive is quite small as it's a SSD, so I made Adobe install programs on my E:\ drive too, however this was the main cause for Adobe not to function.
After adjusting the settings to install everything back to my C:\ drive, it fixed my issue above and allowed me to run the 64bit version.

  • Error message "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not avai

    So I decided to try my hand at making gifs and so I attempted to upload a video by going to file -> import -> video frames to layers. Before even letting my pick my video it comes up with an error message saying "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not availible." I then tried file -> open -> and then selected the video and no matter what file type or size I chose I ended up with the same error message.
    I looked this problem up and attempted some of the solutions but to no avail. I tried clearing my preferences and restarting photoshop many times in addition to restarting my computer. I also checked to make sure it wasn't being blocked by any firewalls and it wasn't. My opperating system is Windows 7 and I'm using photoshop cs6. I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so if anyone is able to help me solve this problem I'd be much obliged.

  • "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 extended.
    I've been using that to make gifs. It was fine when I import video frams into layers with the video formats of .mov or .avi. But After I installed OSX 10.6.8, this message comes up everytime I want to import videos: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."
    So I installed my old OS back which is 10.6.3 but the problem is still there.
    May I know what to do to solve this problem because all along I've been fine with making gifs and importing videos until now.
    Please help, thank you.

    The computer deities may be trying to say something to you.  GIF is not a video format.
    Are you opening video with the same codec that was successfully opened before?

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened

    I recently learned to make gif images using KMPlayer and my Photoshop CS6, but today I hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. Normally I capture a scene from a show DVD I have in KMPlayer and then import the video frames into layers/frames in photoshop with no problem. Well today I went to do that, and captured the scene with what seemed like no problem (the small captured scene saved with no problem) but when I went to CS6 to import the video into layers, I got the error message "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". At first I thought it was the KMPlayer saving the files wrong, so I retried and got the same error message. Irestored the players settings back to a default and the file still wouldn't open in photoshop, and then I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the player trying to get it to work, and then I thought it must be photoshop, because even scenes I had captured at an earlier day that worked perfectly fine when importing would not open.
    What could possibly be causing this problem to occur. Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works, or am I doing something wrong?
    The files I'm trying to import are AVIs as always, I even tried to capture scenes in other formats to no avail. What could be causing the problem?

    I uninstalled an reinstalled photoshop totally and it didn't fix the problem either. I made a post on the KMPlayer's forum hoping for an answer but I haven't recieved one yet. I'm starting to think it's the kmplayer having a problem capturing, since I've started getting the error "could not import the file to layers because the file has no layers" sometimes in photoshop, but I'm still trying to work around in photoshop to see if the problem came from there.

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not av

    I have this problem, I have PS CS6 and when I click on File> Import> Video Frames to Layers.. Next, the window that says "Initializing Video Import" starting to load and always get stuck and that's what appears: "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available". That's with aaaall the videos.

    Anybody know what happens to my photoshop? Thx!

    The relevant auxiliary service/ helper app is being blocked and thus not launching,. anything from permissions issues to security tools getting in teh way. Check your Task Manager/ Activity Monitor, turn off security stuff, run as admin.

  • Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

    I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
    The error message appears once I click the define button.

    Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

  • Could not complete the camera raw command because of disk error

    Hi,
    First off, I am using a Mac (OS X ver. 10.9.2) and Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop (2014). I just downloaded the preset pack off VSCO for Adobe Camera RAW and I am having trouble getting it to work.
    When I try to launch the "Camera Raw Filter", I get the message 'Could not complete the Camera Raw Filter command because of a disk error.' (this also happens sometimes when i try to import the RAW files into photoshop...I don't know if it's the way i'm importing them or what...?)
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing photoshop cc several times and restarting my computer and have searched online but cannot find anything at all to help me (or i just don't understand, urgh).
    Please help!

    I'm getting same error and I think it's related to Adobe Camera Raw.  I see several manifestations of this problem:
    1) Open a RAW file (.NEF) directly using Photoshop CC 2014 - I get an error "Could not complete your request because of a disk error."
    2) In Photoshop CC 2014.  I go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter - I get an error "Could not complete the Camera Raw Filter command because of a disk error."
    I can do the following successfully:
    1) Open and edit a RAW file successfully in Lightroom 5.7
    2) Open a RAW file successfully in Photoshop from Lightroom 5.7 (when I do an "Edit in Photoshop CC 2014" from Lightroom 5.7)
    I was previously on LR3 and Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and bought an upgraded MacBook Pro last week.
    My upgraded system is now:
    Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
    Photoshop CC 2014
    Lightroom 5.7
    I've uninstalled / reinstalled Photoshop and Lightroom numerous times and the problem still occurs.
    Anyone else having the same problem?

    Thank you so much for your reply. My PC does have the latest quick time version.I went into QT Preferences and under advance, I checked "Enable encoding using legacy codecs" but this change didn't help. Is that the one you were talking about?. Where do I find "GDI-only mode without hardware acceleration" ? The weird part is no matter what format I choose to render out I still get the pop up. Photoshop doesn't even try to do anything at all, just shoot up the error window. Is there by chance something I needed to install but didn't? I install photoshop CS3 as part of production premium set. PP and AF render video just fine no problems.

  • Could not complete the Crop command because of a program error - Win 7

    So I use PS CC everyday for cropping out images from design mockups for websites.
    Yesterday (1 April 2014) I got a new comp from the designer with some updated images. So I opend the comp, and began to setup the cropped area with my guides. I then grabbed the marquee tool and made my selection, clicked Image->Crop, and then I get an error message.
    "Could not complete the Crop command because of a program error."
    Well that is helpful.
    So now its "Help me Google, you're my only hope.", after about an hour or so of searching this error I find that it mostly happens to Mac users. I am using Windows 7. I also find that people are trying to get information form a PSErrorLog.txt file that is suppsoed to be located in the "Preferences Folder"... again I am on Windows 7.
    So more searching to find the Windows eqivelant of this file's location: C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings
    Only to find there is no PSErrorLog.txt file. I do have a sniffer-out.txt file and a bunch of .psp files, a SynchFiles folder and 2 Workspaces folders (one Modified).
    So I say to myself, "Well, I have cloud and a fast connection, won't take long to reinstall." So I delete PS ( I am also runnig DW, FL, Br, and AI ), and PS only. I do not run the cleaner tool as it only wants to delete a PS driver, or EVERYTHING!, which I do not want to do, I just want to delete PS. So I delete PS and check for anything left behind (why is there always stuff left behind? Apparently DELETE really means "Only delete some parts of the app that are required to make it work, and leave the rest behind.", or something.). Anyway, I then reinstall, go to crop again, and get the same error.
    So here I am, "Help me Adobe Forums, you're my only hope."

    Mylenium,
    You are correct. But none of that information, or those parameters, have ever had any effect on cropping anything in PS before. I crop vector smart objects brought in from AI all the time. In this case, yes the layers I am trying to crop are vector smart objects, which I rasterized and merged, then resaved the document and still get the same issue.
    But, going off of your suggestion, I did flatten the image completely and I am now able to crop it without error. I suspect that there is something else in the layers that maybe causing this issue, as you have mentioned.
    Thank you for your input, while you may not have known it, you gave me at least somewhere to start to try and figure out what is happening.
