CS4 Doesn't recognize Animation Codec?

I've been trying to see if anyone else is having this issue, but haven't seen anything yet, I've got 6 Windows XP systems, one of them is XP(64 bit). They all have Avid Media Composer and Adobe CS3 as well as Adobe CS4.
I export projects out of Avid using the Quicktime Animation codec set to best and NONE of the Adobe CS4 apps on any of the computers can see the video (they do see the audio though), but CS3 can see it. This is kind of a problem as i like to use the CS4 media encoder to create proofs and WMV's, but it can't see the video, only the audio!
Am I the only one with this problem?
Does anyone know a work around or a solution to this?
Thanks,
Chad

I found the problem was my clients fonts were all lower case ie "arial" while mine started with upper case ie "Arial" I just mapped to the corresponding fonts on my system.

Help! Bridge CS4 doesn't recognize 7D RAW files!

I just got a new computer, it has Vista on it. I installed my Adobe Photoshop and Bridge (CS4) on the desktop, and it won't read the images from my 7D. I downloaded the ACR and DNG converter 5.6, installed it, restarted my computer, and Bridge still doesn't recognize the RAW files. What else can I do? I need to access them ASAP! Thanks

Look for and download the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6. No need to be running such an old obsolete version as you reference.
The Adobe DNG Converter is a stand-alone application that is in no way tied to your version of Photoshop. You not only download it and install it, but you also have to launch it separately and run it on each folder containing raw files from your Canon camera. Note that it will not recognize individual files, only the folder that contains them.
However, you shouldn't need the DNG Converter it if you update your ACR Plug-in to the latest version, ACR 5.7.
The Adobe auto updater was and remains utterly unreliable—I'd even say useless—in CS4. You must locate the ACR update at the Adobe site yourself and apply it manually.
This is the URL for the Mac update, I don't do windows, so you'll have to search for the Win version yourself:

Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize RAW-files on MacBook

I recently installed photoshop CS 4 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Sony alpha 330 camera, and photshop doesn't recognize my RAW-files (ARW)
What do I have to download to get my photoshop working?

Are Photoshop and ACR fully updated?
It seems support for RAW from Sony A330 was added with ACR 5.4.

Have you tried downloading the free DNG Converter and processing the images with that yet?

Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize camera raw plugin on yosemite

Hi there,
I've been using Photoshop CS4 with the camera raw plugin for many years without issue. I recently got a new computer with Yosemite and when I installed PsCS4 it no longer worked with RAW files (5D mkii). I just tried downloading the newest version of the camera raw plugin, but Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it. What can I do?

The “latest version of camera raw” would be ACR 8.7.1 and that is only compatible with PS-CS6 or newer.
PS-CS4 would probably install with ACR 5.0 but the 5D Mark II needs at least ACR 5.2. The latest version of ACR you can install for PS-CS4 is ACR 5.7 which may be what you had on your old computer.
The usual way to update your Camera Raw plug-in would be to do PS / Help / Updates and let it check to see what is available, so try that.
I am not sure if that process still works, but you’re in luck because Adobe was still putting links to their installers on the website back in the CS4 era, so you should be able to download an installer and run it to get ACR 5.7 installed, from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
It’s possible that something in the newest OS will prevent this installer from working, of course, but at least try.
You can check what version of the ACR plug-in you have installed by doing PS / About Plug-in / Camera Raw

Bridge in CS4 doesn't recognize my RAW files . . .

I just got a Canon 5DMKII. When I download the RAW files into Bridge CS4, it does not recognize the file. I get the message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize the type of file".
I had no problem with my Canon 5D, it displayed the RAW files perfectely.
Any suggestions?

No I haven't. How do I do that?
I'm downloading some updates from the Adobe Updater, one of them was Camera RAW, so maybe that's it.

Photoshop CS4 Doesn't Recognize Printer

Acer Laptop
Windows Vista
3 gb ram
160 gb hd
Printer - Canon Pixma Pro 9500
Problem-
I recently installed Photoshop CS4. I still have CS3 installed. When I go to print from CS4, it prompts me that there is no printer installed on my pc. (CS3 will still print without issues). I have downloaded and installed the latest and greatest drivers for my Canon Pixma Pro 9500. I have tried recreating the Photoshop preference file and still no good on either attempted solution. I even tried unistalling CS3 - no good.
How do I "convince" Photoshop CS4 that printer software and drivers exist on my pc?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using Production Premium CS4 for over a year now, and since July on my i7/12GB/GTX260/Win7 64-bit, and it's all been fine. Tonight I get the Premiere 4.2.1 patch, and all of a sudden, magically, Photoshop will NOT recognize my installed printers. I tried 64-bit, 32-bit, rebooting, reinstalling my printer (a standard Epson R380 that has worked consistently), and to no avail. Illustrator sees the printer, but not Photoshop, even though it has printed fine until tonight's "unrelated" Premiere patch.
Thus the woes of integrated suites.
I'll try the FAX thing.

PS CS4 doesn't recognize my WIA supported printer on my network

Hello
I have PS CS4 installed on 2 W7Pro computers (1 license, one backup) I have a Canon MP560 connected to my main computer and the printer is on my network and the backup computer uses this printer via wired LAN, network router etc.. I can print from PS on the backup computer with the network printer, but when I want to scan in from the printer to this computer, PS tells me that I need to connect my system to a WIA supported device....but it already is.
The printer software has been dowloaded onto both computers. Is there some way to cause PS to recognize my printer in the network from the import menu?
Thanks Ana

I found the problem was my clients fonts were all lower case ie "arial" while mine started with upper case ie "Arial" I just mapped to the corresponding fonts on my system.

Help! Can anyone tell me why Bridge CS4 Doesn't recognize my Windows 7 libraries folder?

I'm having this organizational issue with Bridge, well actually its a total deal breaker.
I can't open my 'libraries' folder, I'm in Windows 7, it shows the folder in my folder in my folders side bar, but the drop down arrow goes down with nothing, and it has said it doesn't find any subfolders when they are actually there... WTH?
Any experience and insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
G

I had a similar problem - I assume it is becuase I created a link in the Photo Library to a folder elsewhere on the C: Drive. Bridge only shows the actual files that reside in that folder and via not any shortcuts.

Premier Pro CS4 doesn't recognize my Canon Vixia HF200

Any ideas why Premier is not recognizing my camera?

Because it's not the kind of camera Premiere needs to 'recognize'. You don't capture from this camera, you transfer the entire folder structure to your internal hard drive first and then use Premiere's Media Browser to import the media.

How can I find the serial number from CS4 for my mac? I remembered it being on the box, but now I can't find it, and they website I thought to have registered it to doesn't recognize the e-mail I would have used then I got it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but the website recommend I ask here. I bought the CS4 when I bought my macbook pro in when I was in college. I remember there being 2 serial numbers, so I could install to one other computer. That macbook pro finally died, and now I have a new mac which I am trying to re-install the creative suite on, only I can't find the serial number. The two stickers on the back of the CS4 box (which i thought were the serial numbers) don't look like that they're asking for, and the website listed on the inside of the box for me to register to doesn't recognize my e-mail (which hasn't changed since buying CS4). Any idea where I could find the serial number?

To locate the serial number:

Acrobat Pro doesn't recognize CS4 Creative Suite serial #

I've installed the CS4 creative suite and now acrobat doesn't recognize the serial #. All other apps are fine and working properly. Also running 10.4.11 OS. Any suggestions would be great, so thanks in advance.
Tim

If you replace Acrobat with the one from creative suites you'll have to use that serial number. you'll have topen a Creative suite item first then try to open Acrobat.
what you should have done if you had Acrobat already installed, was done a custom install of Creative Suites and installed everything except your previously installed Acrobat.
To fix it you''ll have to remove acrobat completely. Then you have to put the CS Disk back in. and reinstall Acrobat only . Then it should recognize CS serial Number.

AE CC doesn't import Mov Files. Apple Prores / Animation Codec

hallo,
After Effects doesn't import my Prores / Animation Codec Files.
at very first it did not work and the message appeared: "after effects error: file "xxx.mov" cannot be imported - this "moov" file is damaged or unsupported. "
Then i restarted AE and my computer a few times and suddenly it worked. but after closing AE again, AE does the same error. It does not work even with its own rendered Files from CC!!
I have considered to use only files i know they have worked in the past.
i also asked some freelancers to open it. and yes they confirm it works on CS 5, CS 6.

System:
iMac, 27-inch, Late 2012
Prozessor 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
Speicher 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Grafikkarte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

I can not reliably import/export ProRes or Animation QTs with After Effects CC. I believe accepting the latest update to CC initiated this problem. I did not have this problem last week. I have converted all of my source QTs to .PNG sequences and .AIFs as a work-around.
System Details:
CS 6 CC | Mac OS 10.8.4 | MacPro5,1 | 96 GB Ram | PROJECT & MEDIA drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | CACHE drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac | CUDA Driver: latest update.
Troubleshooting Info:
• I don't have Blackmagic or Aja, but I do have Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac with the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers. I'll try uninstalling... but I may want to raytrace in the coming days.
• I've trashed the 12.0 folder and rebooted many times
• repaired permissions
• Multi-threding on/off doesn't matter
update
• "QT32Server process" appears then disappears Activity Monitor when I try to render ProRes (output module fails...)
• No firewall
• Uninstaled Nvidia driver. Restarted. Same problems.
and then
• Created a fresh admin user. This seems to work for now: I can read and write QTs through AE again. I'll update if there are any changes.
update again
• Once again, I can not import ProRes QTs into AE CC. Making a new user only worked for 2 launches. The only software I used with this system/new user was Adobe AE CC, PS CC, and Safari.
Any suggestions?
Best,
Benjamin

ProRes files act crazy and transcoding to Animation codec gets ugly

So, allegedly, the Animation codec is lossless. However, when I take something encoded with Apple ProRes 422 HQ and transcode to Animation within the Quicktime Pro software, I see noticeable differences. Including: color change and increased aliasing.
The same is true when attempting to export stills from ProRes, even in the highest, most lossless formats. I am wondering if ProRes for PC is actually not quite ready for prime time? When I import a ProRes file into After Effects, I notice the same quality drop associated with trying to transcode it to a lossless format. It seems as though ONLY QT Pro has the capability to display ProRes files properly. If this is the case, this is largely useless, since I can't then USE these ProRes files for anything. What the heck guys? I wouldn't have had clients deliver me ProRes encoded stuff if I knew that it didn't actually maintain its integrity.
Please help out as soon as possible. Clients with deadlines are waiting on a solution that doesn't involve me spending 4000 grand on a new machine and FCP.

As a test, try nesting the problem sequence in a new empty sequence then export that new sequence using QuickTime. Let us know whether or not that succeeds.
Cheers

Animation codec monitor preview

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can address this issue. When working with Apple Motion using animation codec, playback is shown on my external monitor fine. When I playback a sequence with an animation codec in FCP, however, it goes black until i stop and it updates to current frame. I'm wondering if this is to do with Motion's use of the graphics card. If so, anyway of getting FCP to do this?
thanks
G5 Dual 2.0gig
FCP Studio 5
Sony External monitor
Canopus ADVC110 Firewire Capture/Playback

"Black?" That's not right.
But, yes, Motion's use of the GPU is a huge benefit when processing alphas. FCP simply doesn't have the hooks. Yet. Maybe today's announcements form Macworld will change that?

APE8 worked OK with mp4 files, not doesn't recognize

I started a project last fall and brought all my .jpg stills and all the .mp4 HD video from my camera into Premiere Elements 8. I used organizer to create folders by location and put all relevant stills and video into the folders.
Everything played OK and I even did a couple of test movies which worked fine.
I've now re-opened the project and the the software is responding that the file format is not recognized by premiere elements 8 or I don't have the proper codec installed.
I had installed xvid and divx pro, but these files HAVE NOT been converted into those formats.
Please advise as to why the videos were working OK last September (2010), and now (Jan 2011) the product doesn't recognize.
Thanks,
Jack

Thanks for the suggestions!!
I got the GSpot.exe and it shows "status undetermined" for the H264 codec.
I reinstalled QuickTime, but a new H.264 codec is not shown when I list the installed codec in gspot under system.
I reviewed info on DivX and they do indicate that they install their own version of the H.264 codec. Even tho the files were recorded NOT in the DivX format and had not been converted, maybe the install of DivX pro did screw up the H.264 codec and now APE8 doesn't know what to do.
I haven't rebooted the machine yet, but I'd like to keep the DivX software. If I uninstall it, I don't think a previous version of the H.264 will be restored.
I got a file called x264.exe from free-codecs.com and ran it, but i'm worried because it didn't respond with any install messages and doesn't show up in the installed program listing. i ran a malwarebytes scan with the current database but it didn't find anything.
After all this, the H264 status using gspot is still undetermined. I restarted the APE8 project and the file thumbnails show up OK from the prior import (if I update they go to the "broken" icon), but trying to use still results in the unknown codec.
I'll reboot and see if there are any changes.
Thanks again
