CS4 File Import problem

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and whenever I import an MP4 video file into a new or exisiting project, the program stops responding and I have to close it.
(I drag the file in most of the time but I have also tried to locate the file and add it via the program menu)
I have no trouble using any other features of the program..
Can anybody help me to fix it?

  • Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

    Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
    BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

    Bug reports should go in the main forum.
    And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

  • Premiere CS4 - File Linking Problems

    For some reason Premiere is mixing up my imported After Effects CS4 files.  For example, while Im working it will suddenly associate my After Effects file named "SceneA" with the file named "SceneB".  If I try importing "SceneB" again it brings in "SceneA" instead.  It will do this with several of my files and switch everything up.  Im only working with 4 After Effects files and am scared I'll have 20 or so files and it will start mixing those up, which will be a disaster.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I import several files straight into after effects for editing (multi tga, jpeg, psd, etc), then import the AE file straight in PrPro for ading text and organizing.  To work around the problem I had to put each AE file into different folders to keep PrPrp from mixing them up.  Never had this problem with CS3, but doesnt sound like anyone else is experiencing this, which leads me to believe its something with my computer, I dont know.
    I am running windows XP and have a second operating system (also windows XP) installed.  Had to work around a virus that took over my computer.  Could this be a contributing factor I wonder?  Would delete the 2nd operating system but it wont, so cant test that theory.

  • File Importer Problem

    I am working with footage from a DVD converted by a program called "Handbrake" into MP4.The message: "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of [file name]" appears in the events monitor (yellow triangle bottom right of workspace.) I have a yellow line that turns to red above the timeline. Jerky playback and poor video quality. What should I do from here? I tried re-interpreting and conforming the square pixel footage to DV/NTSC with no results. The aspect ratio is 698x466 but there is no way to adjust (that I could see).
    May or may not be related but Premiere has been stalling regularly upon program start-up and closing. This with all my projects.
    My system is 64-bit Vista 8 GB RAM, and includes a Matrox MX02 Mini
    File Path: F:\Premiere Projects\20090901 Marlon GC\Marlon Set 2.mp4
    Type: XDCAM-EX Movie
    File Size: 10.1 GB
    Image Size: 698 x 466
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:58:57:06
    Average Data Rate: 2.9 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.8901

    The file improter error message came when I imported the files.
    I don't have the original DVD or its folder, just the MP4 files that were converted by Handbrake sometime last year. No BPAV folder, although I did not know I could import a DVD folder. Anyway, that's all I have - the dimensions are 698x466 and it plays the same in the Adobe Media Player as in the Matrox Player. I suppose i can get with Matrox as well since it's their box (MX02 Mini).

  • CS4 File Printing Problem

    After recently experiencing a transient power outage I am having a problem printing a particular file from Photoshop CS4. The system seems to have recovered well from the electrical outage, with one exception. When I try to print a particualr file that I had been working on, I get the foillowing message.
    The Vista-64 operating system recognizes the installed printers (two), my other apps have no problem printing to the default printer and opening a few other Photoshop files does not produce the same problem. In other words, the problem seems file specific. The question is how do I remedy the problem with this important file ?  Duplicating its many layers in a new file does not solve the problem.

    Yes, I have rebooted and everyting else on the computer is happy with the printer setup. I've also reset PS preferences. It seems to be a file problem.
    No PS print window opens-  After the error mesage window is dismissed I am back in editing mode for the file.
    I think I am going to have to create a new document and drag all the layers from the subject file into the new file and hope that clears up the problem. As I mentioned, selecting all the layers and using the Duplicate Layers command to a new file did not solve the problem.
    Paulo
    PS - update: I Created a new file, dragged all the layers from the problem file to the new file and the printing problem disappeared. Do not understand it, but when dealing with a probably corrupted file understanding is a stretch.

  • Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

    I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
    I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
    Same problems.
    Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
    I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

    Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
    File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
    Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
    This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
    I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
    I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

  • Nikon D600 NEF file import problems

    Hi,
    Lr won't import NEF files from my nikon d600 even though i've upgraded my software to Lr 4.41 and camera raw 7.4, which according to what i have read on the web, should be enough. 
    Has anybody got any ideas / encountered this problem themselves before?
    Thanks in advance!

    It was my understanding as well, that the latest Lr4 would support those D600 files. I would consider trying with Lr5.2 trial as a test, or converting to DNG prior to import, as a test...
    But maybe first: Copy (using OS, not Nikon Transfer) from card to hard disk, then try adding in place. - works?

  • Cannot open any inDesign CS4 files, "import failed"

    Suddenly inDesign CS4 will no longer open anything. When I attempt to open inDesign files it says "import failed". I have trashed my preferences and tried checking "show import options" to no avail. I can create a new document but not open documents. I am on a 2007 iMac running Lion. Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Maybe. Trash your prefs again using the directions at Replace Your Preferences and then delete the additional files joun listed at Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup

  • DNG File import problem

    How can I import files that have been converted to DNG.  I have tried and the images are scrambled.

    Hi Dave,
    yes, thats generally what i want to do.
    I have the PEF-Files out of my camera and i convert them with the Adobe DNG converter to the DNG format. The old Pentax K100D is using uncompressed PEF, thats why the pictures are twice the size than the converted DNG
    If i import these files for further processing into Lightroom, they are looking similar to the originals viewed with another application (e.g. the pentax development tool) for a second, after that Lightroom is changing the preview to the settings of the Adobe Profile. Colors are much more colder and less colorful. If i try to change the profile in the developement tab, there are no visible changes to the picture.
    I've downloaded the DNG Converter and Camera RAW. There are several profiles included, but i don't know how to use them with Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 (with installed ACR).
    I've created a screenshot of the differencies so you know what i mean.
    Screenshot
    On the left side you can see the developed JPEG via PEF out of the Pentax-Software (Silkypix), on the right is the developed JPEG out of the DNG via Lightroom. Both files are without any further changes to the development process.
    The left picture corresponds to the original conditions.

  • File Import Problems

    I just created a new project that was going to feature edited HD video clips taken from two different sources. The bulk of the footage consists of 1920 x 1080 clips (recorded at 29.97 fps) Logged and Transferred from my Canon Vixia HFS10. I wanted to add some additional clips that were shot on a Kodak Zi8 mini DV recorder at 1280 x 720 (frame rate unknown). The Zi8 belongs to a friend who used it along with the Canon on this particular shoot.
    I've never attempted to mix clips from two different sources before, so I'm sure there are any number of nuances to this process I'm unfamiliar with. In short, though, when I attempt to import the Zi8 clips to the project individually I get the following message: *File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.* If I attempt to import the folder they reside in I get this message: *Unsupported Frame Rate. Final Cut Pro does not support this frame rate or the way it is represented.*
    These Zi8 clips are Quick Time Movie (.mov) files, which, as I understand it, should be compatible with FCP. What am I missing here? Any thoughts or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Doug

    Apparently I spoke to soon in that last post, Patrick. I just got done performing a ProRes 422 file conversion in Compressor, and _this time_ it worked! Don't know why the same conversion when performed as a QuickTime export was unsuccessful, but apparently there's a difference between the two methods that results in one being acceptable while the other isn't. Strange indeed.
    Even though that problem is solved, I'm going to piggyback on the original question and ask what (if any) kind of challenge am I going to have to deal with relating to working with two different dimensions and frame rates? My thought is that the finished edited clip will end up as a 720 rather than 1080 HD movie if that makes any difference. Thank again for any suggestions and input.

  • PAR file import problem in NWDS

    Hello All,
    Some time back we had developed a custome masthead component for our portal (EP 6, SP 21).
    It has been deployed into the portal and its running fine.
    now, we need to change some thing in that and so we have downloaded the par file and imported in nwds for code modification.
    once we do that we get the masthead.jsp file but unable to get the class files and the beans.
    what we doubt is while deploying the par the code was not deployed in the portal.
    do you have any idea how can we get the code base out of that ?
    p.s we dont have any other code base.
    Thanks
    Anirban

    Hi Anirban,
    If you uncheck and deploy the PAR file, later you can download it from portal. But the source code will not be available i.e src.api and scr.core will not be available. 
    1.unzip the jar file in portalINF/lib.
    2. Run the java decompiler tool on each unzipped folder.
    3. create another folder and move .java files and rename it.
    Hope this might be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Subashini.

  • CS4 file merging problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope somebody can help me with this one.
    I have 2 sites each with it's own root folder, each was started as it's own site using it's own the selected root folder.
    The 2 sites share the same template, with the same spry assets, menu bar etc...
    2 problems,
    First, Somehow the files are "merging" in DW on me, so that when I make a change on one template it changes the template in the other root folder for the other separately designated site.
    Both sets of files were stored on my desktop, so I copied one set of files to my documents and in doing so it changed some things around, which leads to my second problem(s)
    One template lost the banner, footer, and side bar images that I had inserted (not a big deal to restore)
    The other template in the other root folder lost the code for the spry tabbed panel that I had inserted and I'm not sure how to get that back in.
    Can somebody please help me with this?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Mike
    As a guess, it could be that you are working in both sites at the same time, and DW has a hard time with that.  If you are going to work on site A, then in your Files Panel, it must be Site A listed in the drop down box.  Other wise you may be saving a file for Site A in Site B, and from there the calamity just exculates.
    But that is just a guess.

  • Iphoto 08 "Unreadable File" importing problems

    Problem: The iphoto library (with 16,000 photos already) will not import anymore.
    I have performed the following:
    1)Created a new iphoto library and it imports without a problem.
    2)Reloaded the OSX on the computer.
    3)Rebuilt the iphoto library using "Command and Option" while clicking the iphoto program.
    4) Software update (quick time also).
    The problem still persists. I did get the photos to the desktop using the other iphoto library.
    One photo I am trying to import is a JPG that I took with an iphone. Another photo is a JPG from a Canon Digital Elph.
    It appears to be a problem ONLY with that particular iphoto library.
    Please help!

    I hope this helps others.
    I did NOT fix the problem but I did find a "work around".
    1) Copy the iphoto library that will not import anymore, to the desktop.
    2) Open the iphoto library copy.
    3) Now import......it works!
    If anyone finds out how to fix the problem, I am still interested in the fix. It takes a lot of time to copy a 15GB library every time I have this problem.

  • Bridge CS5 using CS4 files cache problem

    If I use Bridge CS4 on a directory and subsequently open the same  directory with Bridge CS5, Bridge insistes on rebuilding thumbnails and  previews (as indicated on the bottom status line).    If I subsequently reopen the directory in Bridge CS4, it  again rebuilds thumbs and previews - however only thumbs seem to be rebuilt.   The Preferences in both versions  of Bridge are "identical".  The bridge cache files are maintained in the image directories.
    The cache construction seems to be quite fast (faster than anticipated) - I am not sure what, if anything, is being rebuilt.
    Is this an expected  operation?
    This presents some difficulties in that I  have 530,000 images (7 terabytes)  on Bridge CS4 and the reconstruction  of the files would literally take weeks to rebuild.

    as there supposed to be seperate programs and independant of one another this is surprising 'not'
    I have been onto adobe thru there support link regarding bridge issues and they
    advise to uninstall bridge cs4 using there ceanscript.
    well its a fiddly tool and no mention of just removing bridge cS4 it wants to remove cS4EXT too,
    which i'm not readt to remove, plugins etc......
    anyway, cant help, but there was a bridge CS5 patch released yesterday.
    i have noticed that some of issues no longer seem to occur
    so it may be wise to download it as it didnt auto download.
    also i have seen the same issue you state so your not alone.
    not sure whether the patch addresses the issue as ive only had it updated a few hours
