Flash 8 - Import box won't pop up when importing .psd files

I am trying to import a Photoshop file into flash. When I click File: Import the import dialog box doesn't pop up. It will import the photoshop file as a simple bitmap, but I want the import box to pop up so I can modify the layers. Please help!
Flash Professional 8
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.4)
Browser: Firefox

You would not be importing to iPhoto to edit the movies, they should go directly to iMovie. iMovie also has an option to upload directly to YouTube.
You really need to ask on the iMovie forum. A couple of tips:
You don't mention what format these movies are. I note that this camera shoots both AVCHD and MP4. You need to explain which you are shooting.
Also, be sure to mention which version of iMovei you have.

Upload Dialog Box Won't Go Away When Uploading Larger Files

I'm uploading a 200 MB Excel file to Power BI and the upload dialog box never goes away, even after the upload is completed. I verified this by checking network activity from Internet Explorer and additionally by opening a new Power BI window and verifying
that the file load took place. I think this is a bug.

Guy, what are the next steps? Should Joey file a bug on Connect?
Thanks!

I have a problem with the pop-up prompt to enter my serial number for installation, it won't pop up when I entered the redemption code. Can someone help?

I have a problem with the pop-up prompt to enter my serial number for installation, it won't pop up when I entered the redemption code. Can someone help?

There is no pop up. There is a window that is part of the installation process. If you entered a wrong number, like a redemption code, you would have wound up installing it as a trial. In that case, go to the Help menu in the editor and look for an option there.
If that isn't what you're talking about, you really need to explain in more detail.

Imported PSD Files Are Being Erroneously Resized in Captivate 4

I am trying to import PSD files to use in my Captivate 4 project. I verified that the PSD image size is 800 x 600, and my Captivate project dimensions are the same 800 x 600. But when the import process completes, the layers are erroneously resized to smaller dimensions. I have tried the same thing on two separate installations of Captivate 4 on two separate PC's with the same results.
Here is a screenshot of the PSD file in Photoshop (image size = 800 x 600):
Now here is a screenshot of what the imported PSD file looks like in the Captivate project (screen size set to 800 x 600):
When I do the import, I'm selecting: File --> Import --> Photoshop File..., then I select the "As Layers" option, and do not check the box next to "Scale according to stage size" (I have tried using this option as well with the same results, although I don't believe I should have to rescale when the PSD image size and Captivate project size are the same.)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for such a prompt reply...the single .psd file with many layers is imported using:
Import Kind: Composition
Layer Options: Editable Layer Styles; Life Photoshop 3D (although there are no 3D layers in the .psd...so I'm unsure if this default is needed?)
Oh!! Never mind...I just tried Import Kind: Composition -- Cropped Layers and the layers were not cropped...kind of counter-intuitive since I would have thought "Cropped Layers" would crop the layers rather than the other way around.
Thanks for your help...if you just reply to this post I'll mark your reply as the answer, thanks for suggesting the direction to look for a solution, cheers!

Layers of imported .psd files are cropped?

Hi, when importing .psd files the images on layers are cropped...?
In Photoshop an image on a layer is moved across the visible portion of the document as if it is animated, through the use of comp layers (each new comp layer the image is move a little bit). However after importing the .psd into After Effects only a portion of the image is visible...it is impossible to recreate the animation roughed out with Photoshop comps because some of the image on the layer being moved is cropped.
I hope that makes sense...how can .psd files be imported into After Effects without cropping? Thanks

Error when importing psd files into Premiere Pro

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Photoshop CS4. Whenever I attempt to import a psd file I get this error message: "File format not supported". I have tested it with different file sizes and properties. My files are RGB and 8 bits/channel. Is there any way to resolve this problem? I am also using Adobe After Effects and importing psd files works great with it.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
The RGB and 8-bit take care of two possible causes, so thanks for getting those out of the way early on.
Does the PSD file contain Layers? Are any of them mostly Transparent, with just a few pixels, such as a small logo? Those have created issues.
What is the exact version of CS4, that you are running? Seems that there WAS an issue with PSD's in an earlier version, and that a later update fixed that.
There is another element with PSD's, that has caused issues, but my feeble mind is suddenly blank on what that was about. Seems that Colin Brougham commented on it not that long ago. I'll see if I can drege up one of those threads, but you might aslo want to do a Search on "PrPro" and "PSD," though the forum Search might still be broken. Maybe Google, and also look for replies from Colin. I'll do the same too. IIRC, one had to Open the offending PSD in PS, and just do a Save_As with a short file name, and a short Path (not buried deeply inside a sub-folder structure), and all was good, but do not recall any other details at the moment. I would also eliminate any spaces in the new file name, just to eliminate any issue there - use the _ like in the old DOS days, though do not think that one had to adhere to the old 8.3 structure.
Good luck,

Importing psd files into AN

I have been using Edge Preview since the beginning. last time I used the app was 4 months ago. Now I see the newer version 1.0 is out. I got quite used to the older previews but it's been 4 months so I need a refresher course. While I do that and re familiarize myself please correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn that the older Edge previews allowed you to import .psd files.
Am I right?
R

So is it possible to import .psd files now or not? I have not found the way.
You can export to Edge Fireworks files with an add-on - see here: http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/EdgeAnimate
It would be great to have the same capability with psd files.

When I import PSD file then Catalyst stopped working why?

HI,
When I import PSD file then Catalyst stopped working .why? it's a BUG?
Please find the attached image

I'm an a mac, and I haven't had the problem, so I'm not the best for advice. That said, I am sure FC on the pc can import .psd file. I would check the psd for anything "abnormal". If it is a complicated file, simplify as much as possible, flatten effects especially.
**Upload the psd, I could try to import it and upload a fxp

Why does Premiere Pro CS3 no longer import .psd files?

Over in the German forum, BjoernG has already asked this question as of this past June. He's gotten no answer, so let's try it here. Like Bjoern I use PPro CS3. Mine is on WinXP with all updates. I import PSD files as keying masks. I've never had a problem until this evening (27 Aug 2014). I tried to import a mask I've used many times before. And it has always worked before. Tonight PPro refused to recognize .psd as a supported file type, so it didn't show in the import folder file list. When I told PPro to show "all files *.*", it showed the file. When I selected it, PPro even showed the "import file" window, then displayed the "File Import Failure" window with Error Message: File format not supported. See the picture.
This is a file I've imported into many previous projects with no problem whatever. In fact, I started with a project file from last year which showed the mask file in the project assets but offline! Even though the file had not been moved.
If PPro CS3 is as obsolete as Adobe claims it is, then who's been messing with it? And how can we get it "unmessed"?

I couldn't imagine what any of those steps would do for my problem – but I didn't have a better idea so I tried them:
> If Premiere is acting weird, restart computer.
It's a laptop, so it was off all night. I turned it on this morning.
> Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
If I hold down shift-alt before clicking the desktop icon, all it does is select all icons from top left to the Premiere icon. It does not start Premiere.
If I press and hold shift-alt immediately after clicking the icon, Premiere displays every tiny module it loads rather than summarizing. I held shift-alt until Premiere was fully up and idle.
> Then empty all media cache.
I did that. As I write, Premiere is busy reconstituting all of that.
Then finally, the acid test: Try to import a .psd file. Bzz-z-zt! Still claims it's an unknown file type.
> jpegs do not have transparency. You can save as png instead.
I'm using it as a track matte key, so white is equivalent to transparent. I do have to select "matte luma" instead of "matte alpha" in the effect. I'll save your advice in case I ever do need transparency.
Follow-up: I checked my other licensed copy. It accepts .psds just fine. I checked Help About for both; they're identical: 3.2.0 (374). So the problem must be in an internal setting, an external influence, or a defective module. And remember, it's not just me, Björn in Germany reported the identical problem in June.

Importing PSD files create a black line to the right of some images

I am importing PSD files into Framemaker 11 and they keep giving me a vertical line on the right side of some images. I already know that other image file formats don't cause this, but I prefer the practicality of PSD files and not having to deal with duplicate files of the same image. I figured that native Adobe files that are supposed to be cross platform compatible should work without any issues. I get lines when converting to PDF documents and when I print them out also. I’m getting ready to publish our catalog and would like to prevent the printer from cleaning them up again. Does anyone know how to fix it or if Adobe is currently addressing this issue ? Who can I contact to let them know about the issue, since it has been around from the time Frame started accepting PSD files?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi ais007,
This is gonna sound really crazy, but this happened to me a couple of years ago. Below is the answer....hope it helps for you!
Found the answer to this in the framers digest mailout (framers Digest, Vol 71, Issue 9). Hopefully it wll help you too.
I am not sure about the Illustrator files, but for Photoshop, resize your images so that the last number is an even number. (example: change 3.25 to 3.24)
This worked for me! I couldn't believe it!

Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic. Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

Design in flash or import png files

Hi,
I'm having someone help with the design of my site.
He wants to give me png files for the graphics.
Won't that increase the file size?
Would it be better if he designed the graphics in flash
instead of importing png files?
Just wondering which way is recommended.
Thanks.

depends on the design, the images, style, file size concerns
- yes you are right, file size will
usually increase with imported bitmaps - and if they contain
alpha, then processor/performance
issues may arise.
Also consider that flash does not handle bitmaps very well
unless they yare at 100% with no rotation
- so hopefully you won't need to scale or rotate them.
If the graphics can be made with vectors, then i recommend
it.

Importing psd files in flash. Constant Artifacts

So I been trying to import a psd file in flash to animate using diifferent layers from Photoshop. The problem is there's always artifacts around the image once it imports. I can't seem to get rid of themwhen I need clean shapes to animate. When I go back to reclean the image in photoshop, it looks crisp and I don't see obvious artifacts spots as I do in flash.
So how does one get clean image shapes from photoshop or detect artifacts before going through the trouble of importing? Any ideas thanks...

Thanks, that's interesting to know. I do have the file in a slightly high res, than 72. Even when I zoom in 200%, I don't see anything extra to clean off in the original file. Is there a way to make it more obvious, or method to tone down stray pixels in photoshop or flash. It's still wierd that Flash would exaggerate a stray pixel, 100 fold whiling importing.

Imported PSD files "jumping" on screen when project is exported

I created some graphics in Photoshop CS3 (version 10.0) and imported them as PSD files into my Premiere project (Premiere CS3 version 3.0.0 (374). These are simple photos with text overlays. I am importing the PSDs into Premiere as footage with merged layers.
When I render the video and watch it in Premiere, these graphics look fine. But when I export the project, the graphics "flicker"...appear to be slightly jumping up and down on screen. I have tried exporting as MPEG2 and as .wmv with the same results. I also tried replacing one of the PSDs with a JPEG but got the same result.
I tried using the anti-flicker settings in Premiere and that helps, but there is still flickering at the top of the screen and the anti-flicker settings also degrade image quality. Is there a better way to create a text-over-photo graphic with stroke and drop shadow other than doing it in Photoshop before importing to Premiere?
I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell Optiplex 755.
I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Heather,
Ruud's links will probably answer most of your questions - great links BTW.
However, back in Photoshop, when you chose File>New (or Ctrl-n), you are presented with a dialog box, called "untitled... " Look slightly to the left and above the center and you'll see a drop-down. Most likely it'll say "Clipboard," or "Custom." Twirl it down and near the bottom you'll see NTSC presets and PAL presets. Choose the correct one for your Project. Basically 4:3 PAR 0.9 or 16:9 PAR 1.6. I use the preset with "Guides" so I have the Title Safe Area and the Motion Safe Area shown with Guides. Load up any background image that you might want, and size (Ctrl-t works great for this), and then create your Title with the Text Tool.
I Save_As to the required folder as .PSD and leave the Maximize Compatibility checked. Import this/these into PP. Unless you plan on doing some animation with the Layers, I just let PP Flatten the PSD.
Hope this helps,
Hunt

Importing PSD files?

In Photoshop CS2, I used the Extract filter to cut out the
background aroung people in several photos and saved them as PSD
files with transparent backgrounds. They look fine in Photoshop,
but when I import them into Flash 8, they look washed out and they
have light halos around the more intricate cutouts (like hair).
Looks like light colored pixel fringe. Any idea what's going on, or
how to improve the quality of the imports? (The PSD files are
placed over an imported JPEG photo background in my Flash file.)
Thanks

save as PNG 24 and import to flash than you can have
transparency and apply
to JPG compression upon export to minimize the size.
Open library CTRL L - right click image - properties, play
with compression
to compare quality versus size. PNG can produce great results
and be
really small in final file size.
