How to correctly export and animation as layers from ps cs 5.1 to apple's motion?

I've made an animation in photoshop CS 5.1 with three layers that I want to export to Apple's application Motion in order to work on each layer individually. I can easily make a quicktime file, but I can't work on each layer this way. When I import the photoshop file I get the prompt "All Layers," which I choose, but there is no movement when I hit play on the timeline. Only one frame is displayed when there are a number of different frames, and animations. So, I've tried everything I can think of, but can't seem to crack this one. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using an IMac with 8 gigs of ram and 3 external hard drives with a terabyte internal drive.

I'm sorry, but I'm new to how this Forum works. Sorry, that my posts didn't show up here. Not sure why.
Thank you for your suggestion which I've tried. So now I have three separate layers in Apple's Motion. However, I want to import the rendered video from PS as alpha channels so that they don't need to have a transparent layer in Motion such as "Add". I want them to come in as transparent layers. I see no option in "Render Video," for making an alpha layer. What do you think I ought to do please? thanks so much! Lucinda

  • How to correctly export and share an ADF project?

    We are having some trouble with our SVN, so for the moment I am trying to share an ADF application I started developing with another developer by making a zip file of the entire application directory. We are both using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.
    My colleague extracts the zip file and opens the application jws file, but JDeveloper on his machine does not seem to be recognizing that it is an ADF application. Many of the ADF libraries are missing in the project classpath, and the design editor does not open JSF files correctly, and shows lots of errors.
    Why might this be happening? What is the correct way to export and share an ADF application workspace?

    First thng to try is to rename the system11.1.1.x.x.x.x folder and start jdev again. Jdev will recreate the folder, but any bad configuration inside the folder are gone and this might help to get it running again. However, all customization done in jdev are gone. It's like jdev is freshly installed.
    If you try this and get the question if you like to migrate from an older version answer 'no' as you might get the error back this way.

  • How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?

    How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?
    I dont see an Animated codec option

    Hi Nick
    Believe me I STARTED there.
    I wouldnt post this message if I didnt try there first.
    I do not see Animated GIF as a codec option.
    Please walk me through the step by step process of how you got this.
    Because it is not as obvious as you're making it out to be.
    Further more perhaps a certain format has to be selected for Animated GIF options to appear?
    YES I AM ON CC version too. thanks!

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

  • How could I play and transmit a stream from the same camera

    How could I play and transmit a stream from the same camera?

    Hi,
    As I said, you can use the method getVisualComponent() of the Processor to get a preview Window.
    You create a Processor, prepare it to generate an appropriate output DataSource for what you want to do (saving, TXing, etc).
    Then, for this Processor you extract an AWT Component where the stream will be previewed using the method getVisualComponent().
    Some of the player examples in the JMF guide use this technique. I'm still not write my own player. I'm using an adaptation of the RTPPlayer, but I'm planning to use the above technique to create a Player where I can apply some effects to the stream and then save it if the user wants to.
    If someone already did that, please, correct me if my procedure isn't right!
    By the way, thanks for your help! I was using the DataSource returned from Manager.createCloneableDataSource only to create the clones. I was feeding my main Processor with the original DataSource. That was the problem!

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
    See:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
    You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

    How can I address and print an envelop from a letter created in Pages 09?

    You can copy & paste the address from the letter into a document formatted to envelope size. I prefer to use the EasyEnvelopes widget. If you have copied an address to the clipboard, it will automatically be added to the widget.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4?

    How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4? I want to know where and how to backup and view text messages and all other personal files, including voicemail, recent calls, etc. from my iphone. Is this function in iTunes and/or does iTunes already backup this stuff when I sync?
    I really just want the answer to how and where this works.
    Thanks

    Apple provides functionality in the backup done via iTunes to backup the device and text messages.  There is no functionality to view the text messages on the computer.
    About iOS backups
    Other programs are available which can extract text messages from the device or the iTunes created backup and then be viewed on the computer.  To my knowledge, no program exists which can force backed up text messages into the device once they've been removed.
    Google is your friend when looking for 3rd party software related to text messages.
