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.
PS: I've been trying with File> Open but that's what says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
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 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

    i found the error!
    little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
    when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
    i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • Photoshop CC: DynamicLink Media Server is not aviable

    It may have to do with the update to 14.1.1 but suddenly when I try to open a video file the above warning appears. Anyone else with this problem or maybe someone with a solution?
    (In PS CS5 everything just works fine)
    Windows 7 64bit
    B.T.W., is there a way to repair a CC application installation?
    Message was edited by: harrieb

    (Strange to reply to my own message but there is no "Edit" button)
    For what it is worth: I restored my Windows to a previous state and everything worked fine again.
    Off course CC wanted to update my PS and Bridge and I let it do so. Now everything still works fine but the PS "About" screen states that I have version 14.1.
    Guess the only thing I can do is wait for 14.1.2 or so...

  • 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."

  • 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.
