Frozen Video Layers????

I have a project incorporating several video layers layed out on top of each other forming a larger composite... like a David Hockney photo joiner. The project runs for 10 seconds. I've used this method countless times. However, suddenly the video layers are frozen when I run through the timeline, and when I export as a quicktime movie it again just renders 10 seconds of the frozen frame. As I have mentioned, I have used this method hundreds of times, and saved projects which have worked previously now suffer from the same frozen image problem. Anyone got any ideas what went wrong?
The only thing I can attribute to the problem is that I moved the files to an external hardrive which maybe wasn't mac os extended formatted. But if I drag the project back onto the desktop and open, the problem still remains.
I have about 40 projects all ready to be exported as quicktime movies, all suffering tee same problem. I don't think I can bear having to do them again in Afetr Effects or something.
Thanks

hey guys
i've admitted defeat and redone the projects. for some reason, i could open the file... everything appears as it should, but as soon as i move the timeline it starts to render the frames i'm viewing then freezes - as if it can't cope with it all.
all the layers still have their video icons, ekim. and i haven't changed the status of the layers or animation... all layers are smart objects and the animation is on timeline rather than frame animation. it doesn't seem to matter how many video layers i have. some projects have 2, others up to 30. having redone them again, it works until i save them and re-open (obviously saved as a psd file, ramon).
therefore, i've concluded this is photoshop's way of keeping me efficient, completing work as i go along.
thanks for your help guys (including ramon).

Is there any way to merge 2 video layers to one without exporting?

Is there any way to merge 2 video layers into one without exporting as a new QuickTime movie? I have tried opening a blank player to copy and paste into, but it always forces it to be layered, even when I change the layer numbers both to zero. I tried extracting the video layers and omitting the audio tracks. Then I saved it as a new self contained movie. I am trying to burn the video to dvd with Roxio Easy Media Creator 9's MyDVD on WIndows XP, but I am also using a MacBook with QuickTime Pro. MyDVD will only recognize one video and audio layer at a time, hence, the other layers get skipped. There should be an easy way to merge two video layers without having to export it as a new movie, which takes 2 hours for this 2 hour TV show. Thanks for any answers.

Why in the layer options does not appear to me "video layers" why? help

"video layers" why? help
I need to encourage and not because my computer does not appear to me and others computers that has the same photoshop cc if that option appears. It would be helpful to know what thanks

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

Warp Stabilizer crops bottom of video if videos layers are beneath it for no reason. Why???

Warp Stabilizer crops bottom of video if videos layers are beneath it for no reason. Why???
remove the layers beneath and it's fine. Hopefully adobe addresses this issue asap to save all of us a good amount of time.

I have noticed similar: apply crop to a layer and with all settings at 0 a line of underlying video can be seen at the bottom.

Video Layers Flashing in Motion

I've got a project I'm working on that has a bunch of imported video layers. They are basically all the same clip with a alpha channel background, I've just takes the clip and duplicated it 15-20 times and changed the sizing and added colorize filter to it. The last 8 I copied are now flashing white in both the timeline and after export. I've checked to see if I've got and animated properties, etc. But I can't find anything wrong with the layers. It's almost like the alpha info on the video clip is turning on and off.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

hi,
it might be a memory issue, maybe with the graphics card. As a test reduce the number of video layers see if that helps. You may be able to build the project by importing the clip once and then cloning it. That should reduce the overhead of the project. Also what codec are you exporting to, if its 422 then give up, coz it doesnt work. You might have to try exporting as an uncompressed format and re-exporting that movie to the codec of your choice. Finally i always have more luck bringing in the motion project to fcp and exporting via there for some reason.

Video layers with Rectangle Marquee Tool

I have 6 video layers open in Photoshop. I am using the Marquee Tool to delete areas of the video layers (so I could see the layer(s) behind). Once I do this I realise that the deleted areas are only visible on that frame of the video timeline. I want the deleted areas to stay consistent throughout the whole timeline. I originally was going to do this in Premiare however I realised it would be too time consuming for the many sections I wanted to create.
Is there a way to select areas of a video layer and delete these areas showing the layers behind, and for it to be visible throughout the whole time line?

Thanks for your response.
The problem with using layer masks is that I will have to selectively hide/show each area that I want on all 6 video layers. I have a grid of 78 rectangles that I'm trying to selectively chose what areas of the 6 video layers.
Basically I'm doing a test video where I have 6 different videos recorded at different focal lengths - showing different areas of the shot in focus and out. I'm using the grid to cut out sections thereby showing areas in focus and out of focus.
I attach a screen shot of the grid with the image and without. Doing a still image is fine. I just want this be able to do this with the video.

Extending video layers across the time line simultaneously

Any one Know how to extend video layers across the time line simultaneously?
I have been working on a Video for a few days and have all the layers I need to make my video but when I came to start creting the clip on the timeline there was no promt asking me how long I want the clip to be. I want to extend all the layers on the clip to 21:10 seconds similtaniously. Ther is about 600 layers in numorous groups and I dont want to have to extend each layer across the time line to 21:10 seconds individualy?
can any one help?

it is currently lacking the ability to adjust the length using multiple layers at once. However that said, if you are done animating the layer individualy, you can select all layer (or a partial) and convert them to a smart object. That smart object can then be extended in time. Playing in photoshop maybe slower due to the smart object.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 remove my video layers from sequence after export Media Encoder.

Every time I send the seq to Media Encoder, Premiere Pro hides my video layers and leaves only the audio layers. When I restart the project the workspace is messed up and I have to reset it. Do you guys know what is going on ?

Yes known issue.
Make a new project and drop this one into it.
See if that will help

Multiple Video Layers in Color

Apologies as I am new to Color, and this is a real noob question, but I haven't been able to find an answer yet.
I have an FCP project that has overlapping video layers (that implements the crop tool). However, when I send it over to Color, it only shows the topmost layer with no cropping present. Does this mean that Color will not recognize this feature?
If so, any work arounds?

Hello,
I'll start by saying your mileage may vary here.
Generally speaking, Final Cut Pro "Motion" settings get converted to "Geometry" settings in Color.
That said, I haven't done a crop in V2 overlaying on V1, and sent to Color. Just haven't had to do that.
Real easy way to check if your specific settings work.
1. Create a very short sequence in FCP that does what you're trying to do. Just do the two clips, one on V1, and the cropped one on V2.
2. Send to Color
3. Look at the Geometry tab for both clips. Did the settings make it over on the V2 track? They should have.
4. Either way, go ahead and render the clips, and then send back to Final Cut Pro. Even if you don't see all of the settings, they're definitely in the XML that Color received from Final Cut Pro, and Color should send them back to FCP on the return trip.
5. What should happen is that once you're back in FCP, your original motion settings will have made it through the round trip, and you'll get pretty much what you expected.
Then again, you may find that all of your video is upside down and purple, and all of your audio has somehow been converted to Spanish. Welcome to Color 1.0.x.

Keep audio and video layers linked in AE

Hi!
Is there any way to keep the audio layers linked to the corresponding video layers in AE so that the audio will automatically follow when ever I move a video layer?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your reply!
That's a bit disappointing though, since precomping individually tens of videolayers pasted from premiere will take a lot of time. It would be a nice feature for AE if you could tell audio layers to follow videolayers automatically. Actually when you think of it, it would be a great feature for any kind of layer: to be able to link two layers together so that moving the other in time will move the other also! Ah, and this brings me to another thing that I have been missing for a long time: the ability to group layers on a timeline in to folders for easy management (my comps have sometimes hundreds of layers and it would be very nice if I could organize them with folders, just like in Photoshop)!
What do you guys think? Is there any other way to accomplish these things? Could there be any expressions that might come to rescue?

Video layers in CS6 - not reflecting file changes

we do 3D rendering, breaking images into 3D render passes that we render to a directory, then load those passes up as video layers to put them back together in Photoshop. Everyday we make 3D adjustments, render every night (to files of same name in same location), and in the morning pull up the PSD- where all the passes SHOULD have updated.
This workflow all worked fine with CS5.5 extended, but in CS6, the video layers don't seem to be automatically updating, and we're getting the prior day's definitition, while there are no indications that the file isn't found.
This problem is on Windows7 machines, and we've disabled the windows search service thinking the defnitions were still in the cache - to no avail.
Any help is appreciated- Jon

How do I apply Smart Filters to video layers?

Hello! This is my first time making an animated GIF in Photoshop, so I'm a little frustrated. I've looked all over the web and on the Adobe site on how to apply filters throughout all video layers. All resources tell me to "convert the video layer into a Smart Object and apply filters, which will carry throughout the other layers." I open up my GIF file and convert my very first layer/frame into a Smart Object and apply my Reduce Noise filter; when I do this, the filter only applies to the first layer/frame and not for the other 187 layers/frames. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

put levels on which you want to apply the filter, you will see them in the time line as a group ten apply filter, you can also adgust them all in time line...

How do I disable the timeline feature for non-video layers?

I know there is new feature in Photoshop CS6-timeline that allow to edit vid in Photoshop.
But this make file get bigger and bigger even this feature convert image layers to video layers.
I don't need this, but I can't find how to disable timeline and discard frame animation.

All you can do is hide the timeline. Windows>Animation or Windows>Timeline (Not sure which it is on CS6)

Multiple video layers in clip

When attempting to view a clip in Quicktime, the clip will play as normal and then suddenly switch between scenes. At this point, it is possible to drag the slider backwards in time and view a different scene. A third scene can be viewed if the cursor is rewound and played from precisely the right point towards the beginning of the clip.
This clip was downloaded using Limewire and "previewed" before the download was complete. My theory is that some sort of Quicktime cache is enabled which permanently set the length of the clip at a fixed time... not allowing the clip to play for a longer length of time after it had been downloaded.
Is there any way to reset this file so that the multiple videos layers can be viewed continuously as they should?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

If its an MPEG file, use MPEG Streamclip to "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to save the video into a new MPEG file with continuous timecode for better playback in QuickTime Player. Or just play it with VLC or MPlayer which will play it regardless of timecode errors.

TS3623 I purchased a movie on Apple TV; I get sound, but a frozen video picture. How do I resolve this?

I recently purchased a movie from AppleTV from iTunes. I tried to watch it; the video is frozen, though the sound is normal. I tried switching chapters, the chapters list normally with other scenes from the movie, but when I go to those chapters all I get is that same single frozen video of a scene about a minute into the movie; though the sound is correct for the chapter I chose. I have tried rebooting the Apple TV and when I went to support, they refused to help me because they claim my apple TV is too old! Other movies play fine. ANy suggestions?

The following should help you, from user Trrlightning:
"Depending on your region all you should have to do is go into iTunes and click iTunes Store. You should see "Purchased" on the right under Quick Links. Click Movies, then the cloud symbol under the movie name."
Hope this helps
