You simply chose a file which is encoded with an unsuitable CoDec. Export/ Convert the file in an external tool first.

Photoshop cs5 avi import frames to layers HELP!!

on my 2009 macbook i have photoshop cs5 which allows me to make gifs by importing frames to layers on avi files only. now i have put cs5 onto my new macbook pro which does not allow mp4 or anything else, but when you select the avi files no video comes up it is just blank and on some files you can hear a distorted sound from the video if you click the play button. does anyone know why this is? is it to do with quicktime on the new macbook pro not supporting avi? why does everything always change this is so frustrating, what is the point of this laptop if i cant even do the basic stuff i was doing on my old (but slow) macbook? $2000 just to use the internet is not worth it, thinking of returning if i cant fix it. any help would be great!

Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

PS CS3 - import video frames into layers help

I'm trying to import an avi file into PS CS3 using the 'import video frames into layers' tool, and I had 3ivx trial but it expired and now it leaves a watermark on all the layers. Anyone know of a free alternative?

Not really. That's just how DivX Pro works.

CS4 Importing Video Problem

Hello, so I just installed Photoshop CS4 on my laptop (I'm using windows)
So I decided to make a GIF from a video, but I've got a problem with it.
At the very first step, I can't import the video (file > import > videos frames to layers) it says that 'Could not complete the Videos Frames to Layers command because QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required'
In fact, I've downloaded a QuickTime version 7.6.7
Can anyone help me please?

The file is compressed with a specific CoDec not supported by legacy QT or Windows media features and thus not readable in Photoshop. This pretty much affects allDicvX, Xvid and various other custom, out of spec MPEG-4 flavors that some digital phot cameras produce. It needs to be converted in another program, e.g. MPEGStreamclip, SUPER© and so on...

I recently reinstalled Snow leapod on my mac because I was having problems. I backed up everything onto disks, but after formatting, i quickly realized that some files did not transfer. I am missing some very important video footage. Please help me!

I recently re-installed Snow leapod onto my macbook. Previously the system was running snow, I believe I may have visited a corrupt website or something. Anyhow, I backed up all of my information onto disks before reformatting, and the format went well. However, I realized after the fact that some important video footage did not transfer to my DVD-R's that I saved my data too. Is there any possible way I could recover this information? I'm trying to recovery software I found recomended online, but im not sure what the outcome of it will be. I know things are not looking good, but was hoping someone could please help me.

Also, as for what I did. I put the OS disk into my computer, restarted it and ran through the screens to completely reinstall the OS. Then, I had to install my Snow Leapord CD because my origional OS was not the newer SL. Its my own fault, I just didnt think of every file off the top of my head before startign the process. I assumed everything was on the backup disks I had just burned.

Need help.. premiere pro cs4 imports video but not the audio!!

i need help before i fkn suicide..
i'm trying to import a .mpg clip its importing it but with out the audio.
the file is fine when i play it in VLC or WMP
i've also imported it before and it imported fine.. video and audio but now i dunno what the fk is goin on!?!?!?!?
i've tried uninstalling cs4 then reinstalling etc... i've tried the 4.0.1 update etc... i've opened it up in another program then changed it into .avi and still nothing!!!!
it must be something i'm overlooking in settings
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!

try doing a little research on the hundreds of posts exactly like yours.
Its called the ac3dc3dbs2t32cfgh24.dll codec or something, its in encore and you copy it into premiere. I dont know, ask someone who does.

[CS4] importing video with xdv8 codec...

Okay, I am on a windows version of premiere pro CS4. I am not very experienced with the software, so this could be amazingly obvious/simple, or it may truly be as hard as I am finding it to be. I need to import a video file, currently a .mov. I believe but am not certain that it was made on an Apple with Final Cut Pro. Premiere gives me a missing codec error.
When I try to play the file in most of my video players, including QuickTime, I get a missing or unsupported codec error (the sound generally plays fine, though - just the video is missing).One of my players actually named the codec, I believe... saying there was an error with xdv8 codec. So I did some googling, and found that mplayer has that codec.
So I download and install the latest mplayer for windows (SMPlayer to be precise), and it plays the video fine. However I still cannot import this video into Premiere. And the SMPlayer doesn't offer an export, save as, etc. function.
I found all of the codec .dll files that the SMPlayer uses, but have no idea how (if it is possible) to get Premiere to recognize them... and I am not sure which it is, as none of them have xdv8 in the title.
Is there a way to import a codec into premiere if it is not part of a codec installer package?
Does anyone know where I can get a codec installer package for Premiere that includes the xdv8 codec?
Is there any other way to work around this issue?
Thanks!!!

One of my players (VLC Player, from Video Lan) gave an error stating that the xdv8 codec was missing or not supported. A ton of googling later found that the MPlayer does support the codec - and when I installed said MPlayer (the SMPLayer GUI for windows), I can play the video.
My issue is that the video comes from an indirect source; my client (I am a web designer, this client has a lot of streaming video on the site) has the videos created by a "professional" local studio... who is (in my opinion) anything but pro. I have no direct contact with them, and when I ask for anything to be done, such as getting the video in a different format, it can take weeks or longer before I get a response. So since I have Premiere, I started doing my own editing of the videos to get them web ready. The videos are being shot for TV (they get broadcast on the Fox Business Network)... so I have no idea if this codec is best (or even good) for that medium, but I need to convert it into 3 various sized flv files for web streaming.
UPDATE: I now see that the codec is ffmpeg2, and the 'format' is xdv8. I have no idea what that means!
When I get properties through the SMPlayer, I see the following info;

[CS4] Importing video corrupts corrupts the video length

Hello everyone,
I have a small problem, and I think it is caused by a driver malifuction either inside Premiere or in my system.
The problem is that no matter what type of encoded video I import into Premiere Pro, it corrupts it. I mean the audio is normal, and the video is like 1/1000 length of the normal one, and it doesn't match the audio at all.
it's quite hard to explain, so here's a link to a youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IhAbCMzc-8
I tried converting the same video into a bunch of different formats, it's the same.
Anyone could give me an advice? I tried reinstalling my VLC codec pack and suck, but it didin't help, update didin't help aswell.

With some converted media (often coming to me as DivX, or some similar, delivery-only format), I often get a Duration issue, though this is for both the Audio & Video, not just the Video. This happens at random, and does not seem predictable, to me. I found that if I first Imported the problem AV file (DV-AVI in my case) into PrElements, then did an non-Recompressed DV-AVI (just like the source footage), things then came into PrPro with the correct Duration. I've tried to find out what is different about the two files, but cannot find it - things just now work.
Not sure if that is what you are seeing, or something else, especially as you say that your Audio is the proper Duration.
My first course of action would be to make sure that my video driver was completely updated.
If that does not help, maybe give the full specs. of one of the problem files, and also the full system specs., especially the video sub-system and driver version/date.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing video - why does this help site look different

http://www.davidglover.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/01-Import.png
The link above shows a help site screen shot allowing 1080i import.
When I run iMovie 09 and connect my camera I only see import at 'Full Resolution' without the added 1920x1080i.
Whyis this??

That screen grab is what I see with iMovie '08 and not what I see with iMovie '09

CS4: Imported Videos Always Blurry

How can I get my 758 x 494 Quicktime videos, which are recordings of my laptop, to maintain its quality? Right now, the video preview and any exported videos are very blurry. If it's a problem with the aspect ratio, how I can I fix it? I have tried all sorts of different settings already. Or is there a codec I need to install?
Thanks in advance,
And, yes, I am a newbie to Premiere.

When I drag the imported video files to the time-line it only recognizes audio - would anyone know why?

This happened 2 days ago. Before everything was working normal. Since yesterday each time I import a video and drag it to the time line, it only allows me the drag the audio portion of the file. Even those files which I uploaded several days earlier and
worked perfectly fine - now even those files are only showing audio when dragged to the timeline. I hope I didn't make my question too confusing.

Problems with importing video frames to layers

Whenever I try to import video frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames to Layers), the little preview box of the video doesn't show up, and when I click "Okay" it only creates a bunch of solid black layers. I'm using .avi videos, which should be compatible. Can anyone help me out? :/

Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools.
Click View and print details.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)

CS5 frames to layers avi GIF help!!!

Sounds like your new computer is missing a few codecs for quicktime which your other computer had. Funny it is not allowing mp4 files, since that is an apple format for the h.264 codec.
BTW if it is not clear, photoshop uses quicktime for its video import/export routines.
