I can not import video frames in photoshop elements 12

Hello,
I want to import video frames (for making an animated gif). The instructions how to do this in elements is clear (Go to File, choose Import, choose video frames), but I don't see that last option in the menu... See screenshot.
(I tried to import video via Organizer but that is not possible either)
So what to do?
Thanks for any help.
Robert

Frame from video was removed because it was just too old and not useful for what video is like today. It was designed to grab a frame from those short tiny videos that early digital cameras made, you know the ones that could record about 30 seconds of video at 300 x 400. It was never any good at longer videos and couldn't do HD at all, so adobe removed it because it was becoming more of a problem than a solution. It is not in any language version of PSE 12.

    I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

    You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
    Photoshop is not designed as a video editor.  Video is more or less and add on.
    Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6.  While there is still support for  menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers.  Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop.  Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better.  I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into.  Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want,  And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
    If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements.  If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud.  CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended.   Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can  also use LR.  I do not use LR or do video editing.  I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
    Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated  poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video.  Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB  where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
    View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

  • ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin

    ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin.... it seems can not found QuickTime_Capture.jar within QuickTime_Plugins.jar but I'm sure it is in the plugin directory.
    I google this problem but not luck!

    Thank you Benjt and Sue:
    I have first chosen to followed Sue's suggestion concerning the firewire connections since that looked to be the one most easily done quickly. I therefore had to make more room on the hard drive in my MacBook Pro since the drive is only 100 GB. I normally use an external 400GB drive to hold my video files since one of the plays last May required about 200GB! However, the play this time was a short one and not really High Density anyway like the one was in May with a much finer camera. I have been connecting the external HD via Firewire800.
    I simply moved a number of files from my MacBook Pro drive and put them in the external HD as well as another HD and then disconnected the external HD from my MacBook. I was, indeed, able to import the entire tape in one shot into iMovie. iMovie is still not working right since I found that I had to click "import" in iMovie to start collecting a clip and then hit "play" on my camcorder to actually import the tape contents into the clip. I found the whole play, just 50 min this time, in that clip when we returned home this evening.
    I can now get the editing done one their last play for the kids and have DVDs for them when I go back up to Gainesville to record their current play on Thursday evening.
    I will then devote some time to trying to solve the rest of the problem, looking into Benjt's suggestions.
    Thanks very much for your very timely critical and positive help this afternoon. For your information, I also have been working on learning Final Cut Express but as I tried to put all of my reading into practice, I now I can't even get FCE to open - but that's another story and a very different problem.
    Thanks again.

    can not sign in online from Photoshop Elements 10

    No, because there's nothing to sign in to anymore. Photoshop.com is dead and gone and you should have received a bunch of emails about any photos you had there getting moved to Revel. But you can't access revel from within PSE 10:

  • I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

    I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

    How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
    Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

  • I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

    So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

    JordanFox,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
    Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
    Regards.

  • Can you import Video Frames to Layers if your video is larger than 1280x720?

    I can import a video that is 1280x720 or smaller to layers, but can't import one larger than that or Photoshop freezes up. and then has to be force quit.  when i reopen it after force quiting, it immediately crashes and then when i reopen it and try to import any video in any way it gives me the error message "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available."

  • Can not import videos to iPhoto but they are on my desktop

    Hi I have just changed from a pc to a mac mini. I put all my photos and videos onto a samsung hard drive then dropped that file into my documents on the mac. I then imported all the photos and some videos to i photo.
    I photo then came up with a error message saying wrong file format this is really annoying me is there a easy fix for this?
    If they do go over will they go into the right events or will I need to do that manually.
    Any help would be great.

    I photo then came up with a error message saying wrong file format this is really annoying me is there a easy fix for this?
    What's the file format? Not all video codecs are supported by iPhoto.
    If they do go over will they go into the right events or will I need to do that manually.
    What are the 'right' events? If you drag a folder in from the Finder it will make an event of that folder.

  • Canon VixiaHF10- I can see canon folder on USB but can not import video

    I am able to connect my Canon Vixia HF10 to my iMac (using iLife) through USB- Iphoto opens and imports fine but the iMovie is not opening. I can see the folder with Unix files- please advise how to get movie clips into iMovie 7.1.4 Thank-you

    I got the HF10 as well and found out that my HF10 is not supported by iMovie.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    I learned that the NTSC HF10 is compatible, the PAL version however which I have is not (tag on the bottom of the camera states it's a HF10E).
    What worked for me, at least on iMovie08:
    1 Connect camera and manually start iMovie
    2 Now, open disc utility and select the mounted device carrying your movies
    3 select to make a disc image from this device
    When disc utility finalizes the image and mounts it, iMovie all of a sudden recognizes it as a camera, opens the import window and you can start importing from the disc image.
    Hope this works for you on iMovie07 as well.

  • Can not import video clips into iMovie from Photos

    I have some clips that I copied from my GoPro to my iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Kit.  When I open iMovie there are icons for the clips but iMovie will not import them.  The format is H.264.  Is there a way of tricking iMovie?

    Here is the problem, Im making a movie, I took all the video on my Kodak V610 Camera. I have the clips in .mov format. The clips are stored on an external disk in my iPhoto library.
    Your digital camera probably uses MPEG-4 video (compatible with iMovie '08 in combination with µ-Law 2:1 compressed audio (which is not iMovie '08 compatible). While using the MPEG Streamclip MPEG-4 conversion will work, the prefered methof would be to use the QT "Movie to MPEG-4" option in QT Pro (quicker if you have it) or GarageBand (via the "Expert Settings option) to "pass through" you video while converting the audio to AAC (MPEG-4 audio). A mono setting of 64 Kbps with a 44.1 KHz sampling rate is a bit of "overkill" with respect to the original audio but will be quality compatible with what iMovie uses for its output presets.

  • Can't import JPGs created in Photoshop Elements

    I get an error upon importing. Any ideas? I use Photoshop Elements 2.0

    Philippe, for future reference...
    --First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures.
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
