CS6 won't export png correctly

I used to be able to run an action in CS5 which would save a file in png with transparency, but now when I run the same action in CS6 the file is exported as a html file instead. Is anyone else having this issue?

I could post the action, but you would need the psd that goes with it to test it because of the layer structure and because the psd I am working in is for future sale, I am unwilling to part with it untill it has been sold.
I just ran the action again to see if anything had changed (who knows how or why) and the problem still exists. I just want to make sure everyone understands. The problem isn't when creating the action, as the file will save as a png when exporting fine, but when I run the action later the file is saved as a html file instead of png. Would it have anything to do with the output settings when I am exporting? I personally don't see this being the problem as I never had this with CS5, but thought to ask the more knowledgeable PS users.

  • AE CS6 won't export MP4. "Some of the required components could not be found."

    After Effects CS6 (from Production Premium) running on 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
    Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
    AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series video card
    64 Gb Corsair Ram (DDR3)
    Quicktime 7.7.4 Installed
    Currently attempting to export a short (2 second) video based on the predefined "H.264" preset with the only alterations being that I want the VBR 1 Pass to target 3.5Mbs (though I've changed this with no difference in outcome) and I want the video to multiplex as MP4. I immediatley get the error prompt: "Some of the required components could not be found."
    *Just tried using the 3GPP multiplexer and received the same error message. If I try to use the MPEG4 format I get an "unknown exception" error.*
    I've exported literally hundreds of items as H.264 with a MP4 multiplexer on this machine with current hardware and software. And now...no dice. After Effects boots correctly (or at least it seems that way) though I think it takes a little longer than it used to (not sure if the system cache just needs to be rebuilt).
    After Effects CS6 has all available Adobe updates. Quicktime 7.7.4 is also up-to-date. Video Card driver is up-to-date.
    What could be going on? I'd prefer to skip re-installing this program. I've had to do this numerous times already with this suite throughout the past 12 months; really getting sick of the down-time during reinstall. Worth noting that I have closed the program, closed all programs, restarted computer multiple times.
    I am currently going through my Adobe program files for After Effects. I am specifically looking through the 'Support Files' directory. A couple interesting things: 1. My 'MediaIO->Codecs' directory was last updated on 11/8/2013 (perhaps an AE update??) but each of the files within said directory have a last modified date of late September. Did something get wrongfully deleted in the hypothetical update? 2. In 'Media Core plugins->Common' I again have a last modified date of 11/8/2013, but again each of my files within the common directory were last modified late September. I have many expected .prm files but NO ImporterMPEG4.prm; should I have a MPEG4 specific importer file, or does the MPEG importer file do all of the work. Also, I have no ExporterMP4 (or anything of the MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 flavor). Should I have one of these?
    Don't know if this last paragraph helps at all but my fingers are crossed.

    Thanks Katrina for all your help.
    I talked to an Apple tech support person. Actually, my call had to be elevated to the next support level. Joy. You are correct, there are multiple listings of the files in the error report even though there is only one copy.
    The support person had me do a few things. Here is what eventually seems to fix things:
    1) For the mp3's that DID copy but were listed as not found... Some files were duplicated so deleting the duplicate with the "!" was an easy fix. I found one file that I could search by song name in iTunes but could not find it by song name search on the iPod. Looking at the iPod playlist I found the file listed by the filename (not song name) and the file played fine. Then in iTunes I double clicked on the song name ("!" showing) and selected locate. I then pointed to the location on the NAS. Resync and now the name of the song on the iPod changed from filename to song name. The file was no longer listed in the error report.
    2) For the m4a files that didn't sync... the problem songs appeared three times in a search in iTunes. Two of the listings showed the "!" next to the name. I deleted these two for each song that didn't sync and all transferred fine afterward.
    Perhaps there is an issue with ID3 tags since I use filenames more than tags in organization. Still, I would think that iTunes would not get so confused or be a little more friendly with its errors, especially considering how long its been around.
    Thanks again for your help. Looks like I have a manual way to correct this issue.

  • InDesign CS6 won't export to server...Help!

    I'm having a problem exporting jpegs, pngs, PDF's, etc. to my server at work. It will only allow me to export them to my desktop. AT first I thought it was a problem with perhaps our server at work and the new InDesign CS6 (since we just upgraded from CS3), but now i'm starting to think that it could be a permissions issue with my personal network account. I am also unable to open any files from the list in the 'Open a Recent Document' window that pops up when first launching InDesign.
    Is this something that someone knows anything about or can help with? Our IT department is stuggling to figure this out and it's slowing down my work flow.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, I need to be logged into my personal network account in order to access any of my files/settings/and just at all times. I can't be working off a random user account. Any other suggestions?

  • CS6 won't export movies with previously exported Quicktime .mov files in them?

    On several different projects now, I've made videos which include previously exported CS6 Quicktime .mov clips in the timeline. When I go to export these new projects, Premiere will start compiling and exporting for a few moments, but then will stop and freeze up the program or even my Mac, or it will show an error message. I've tried changing my settings and everything. The only way my projects will export correctly is if they contain NO old .mov files. I'm trying to do a demo reel, so I kind of need those old files. They aren't even old, I exported them out of CS6 a few months ago. Why isn't Premiere exporting correctly and is there any way to fix this?

    There are files, and there are files... the important thing is what is inside the file?
    MOV (or AVI or MP4 or ???) is a wrapper that may contain many things... not all of those things edit well
    Report back with the details of your file, use the program below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

  • Final cut won't export the correct settings for MXF videos

    I have final cut 10.2 and compressor 4.2. My video footage is DSLR media shot at 1920x1080 at 29.97 in Mpeg format. I create an NTSC timeline that is 29.97 and 1080P and I can import and edit with this no problem. My issue is i want to export as 1080i29.97 XDCAM HD 422 50 Mbps in MXF format.(their is a preset for this in compressor) What i get is an mxf file that is 720x576 at 25 FPS and the picture is squished.  I added the destination through Final cut to compressor and selected the preset i want. I also checked the preset and the settings are correct. You can see from the picture below.
    However when i select this destination from Finalcut 10 it shows in the settings that it is 1080i and also 720x576 on the same page! You can see from the image below that the title of the destination is "1080i29.97 XDCAM HD 422 50 Mbps" and below that it says 1080i, 8ch 24bit mono tracks. But at the bottom of this menu it says 720 x 576 | 25 fps!
    if i export as a master file this does not happen, even if i choose XD CamEX 50Mbps. Any help is appreciated. Not sure what is going on. Thanks

  • Export PNG in CMYK vs. RGB. Changing colors.

    Short version: Using Illustrator CC. I correctly exported a PNG logo in RGB (sent to client), but the new PNG logo looks much different than the old PNG logo that was exported incorrectly in CMYK (sent to client long ago).
    Client wants to know why the NEW PNG logo looks so different than the EPS logo and the OLD PNG logo (all starting with the same Pantone color).
    Longer version:
    I recently sent logos to my client in different formats.
    ai, eps, eps CMYK, pdf, and png
    Prior to creating the PNG version in Illustrator CC,
    I changed Illustrator's color mode to RGB, then converted my Pantone colors to RGB (specific values per the Pantone book), then exported as PNG.
    This created a much different blue than the CMYK eps version.
    Someone else on the client side is working with my files and questioning why the blues look so different. The Pantone eps vs. the RGB version.
    Problem:
    In the past, the PNGs had been created incorrectly--They had been exported in CMYK mode without converting anything to RGB and they matched much closer to the EPS version.
    Now they are asking why there is such a big difference.
    I did the process correctly, I'm not sure how to answer this. Why do they look so different?

    So if I just leave the Document Color Mode as CMYK, leaving with the logo set in it's specific Pantone colors, and then Export/PNG, that will covert my CMYK colors to RGB for me. Seems almost too easy. Just go File/Export/PNG, but okay.
    And while that may give me a better perceptual match, here's the other side of the issue.
    They've given me and their web company specific RGB values for their logo. These are based on the Pantone book, and likely different than the conversion Illustrator will do.
    The idea being, they want the website and logo to be the exact same blue. And they are based on the values they gave, but they look different than the original Pantone. Brighter and more vibrant. I'm dealing with another member of the client team, trying to use Illustrator on her end for smaller tasks, and she wants to know why the rgb PNG logo (which I entered in manual values for based on the Pantone book), is so different than the Pantone eps file. In the past, when I just exported as a straight PNG without tinkering, the perceptual match was there. Now it isn't. How can I explain this?

  • AE CS6 - 3D Compositing and Color Correction workflow

    AE CS6 - 3D Compositing and Color Correction workflow
    Hello everybody,
    I have some questions about work flow in AE concerning compositing and Color Correction. I saw many tuts about (f.e. Lynda.com Premiere Pro Color Correction and Enhancement... and tuts by Andrew Davis here in creative.cow).
    Essentially, he have this CC work flow:
    GRADING (primary and secondary)
    Adjusting Tonality (Brightness and Contrast)
    Adjusting Colors (White balance and fix color dominance)
    MATCHING
    Conforming colors of different clip shoted with different camera and lighting set up.
    ENANCHING LOOK
    Giving to all clips a unique "look"
    But what does it  happen if we have NOT just some clips but ALSO a 3D object (rendered in a 3d sw or, actually also a 3d object inserted by 3D Element by videocopilot)
    or/and
    a keyed clip from a green screen shot?
    How does this footage (3d object and green screen keyed shot) transform
    the aforementioned work flow?
    We have to consider that this footage (3d object and green screen keyed shot) must to be pre-multiplied to make a right compositing but when you make CC it must be again "straight"... (NOT pre-multiplied)
    Is really hard also understand how dale this work flow between AE and Pre Pro if you want to make CC in Pre Pro after compositing in AE.
    I try to present a work flow for this (very common) situation:
    I have a landscape clip as a background
    a keyed clip (pre-multiplied) with a Character watching sky
    and a 3d (pre-multiplied) object U.F.O. on sky.
    When I have done compositing, how make I a right CC of all footage if I have two clip (3d object and green screen keyed shot) still  pre-multiplied?
    I think, but I'm not sure, that should be a good idea to send to Pre Pro a composited Comp with separate layers (by dynamic links)  to have  all single separate layers (Background, 3d object and green screen keyed shot.. but also the Color Warping...!). Than, in Pre Pro you should make a CC (Grading)  just for a BG and than try to Match (Matching) this color corrected BG with 3d obj and keyed shoot. But we have a problem at this point cause our 3d object and green screen keyed shot are still pre-multiplied, and before make matching we have to re- multiplied theme, but how? And if we re pre-multiplied them, compositing will be also right?
    Or maybe, before exporting comp from AE to Pre Pro, he have to create both layers for 3d object and green screen keyed shot, one pre-multiplied and one "Stright"? But, again, how to combine them to have a right compositing and a a right CC?
    Anybody can help me to understand or maybe suggest any tuts to dale this common issue in AE- Pre Pro?
    Many, many thanks!

    Dave is correct. (And so is Mylenium. No need to be rude, when he was jsut trying to explain that you were introducing unnecessary complexity.)
    The color matting is removed to interpret the alpha channel when you import the footage. After that, any color correction that you do to a layer based ont hat footage item doesn't have anything to do with whether the channels were straight or premultiplied for the source item.
    You color-correct your individual items to amke them match as part of the compositing process in After Effects. Then, if you want to do a color grade of the shot in Premiere Pro along with other shots, you'd be working on the single rendered/flattened composite, so the details of the original elements that went into the composite are irrelevant.

  • Iphoto photos won't export

    I have some photos in iphoto I copied off a jump drive.  They don't act like the other photos in iphoto, for example, they won't export to my website but my other iphoto photos will.

  • Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

    Hi all
    Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
    Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
    I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
    Cheers,

    Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
    Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • My Photoshop CS6 won't work...

    My CS6 won't open any images. I'm working on a Mac, Mountain Lion 10.8.4. When I double click the photo, Photoshop will open but then not do anything, and my mouse turns into the spinning beach ball of death (as I call it).
