I can't import videos into Photoshop CS6?

I just ripped a whole load of Doctor Who episodes, and I have been wanting to make .gifs of them, but every time I try to import them into Photoshop (file > import > video frames into layers (how I normally make gifs)), I get a message saying, "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". I don't know why this is happening, because Photoshop normally opens .avi files and all I want is to make .gifs of these Doctor Who episodes.

You should open your Dr. Who episode in adobe flash or premier pro. Probably you need to covert it. You could use the adobe media encoder. Photoshop cs6 has "intuitive Video creation" and you have to bring in the video as a mp3. I never tried it   As Photoshop is an image editing app and not created to open Video files so you could probbably use Premiere to export the individual frames and then open those in Photoshop.

  • Import MPEG-2 video into PhotoShop CS6

    Does anyone know why I can not import MPEG-2 video file into PH CS 6?

    Hi there -
    Do you have any other Adobe programs installed? Photoshop CS6 can only open MPEG-2 video files if a decoder is installed, such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.
    See this Adobe Help article for more information about supported files types in Photoshop CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/supported-file-formats-photoshop-cs6.html
    EDIT: Here is an extremeley technical post about this issue - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4700873

  • Can't import videos into imovie from movie files

    I am having difficulty importing .mov files into iMovie.  When I go to file>import>videos, I can find my .mov files I want to move to iMovie.  It says it is converting.  The files show up in my iMovie folders in Finder but no thumbnails are showing up in iMovie.  Any suggestions?

    The audio codec looks fine. The video codec is h.264 which is usually good for iMovie, but there can be variants that iMovie cannot handle. Another interesting thing about the h.264 is that it is anamorphic, which means it stores as 1440x1080, but simulates 1920x1080 by using rectangular pixels.
    If I were trying to make this work, I would try converting it using a free tool called MPEG Streamclip, available here. I use the Beta version. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Then click FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the audio codec unchanged.
    For Frame size, choose 1920x1080.
    Check Interlaced Scaling, and for Field Dominance use Upper Field First, but if it looks bad, you can try checking "Deinterlace Video".
    Click Make Movie. Give it a name and store it where you can find it.
    Now try importing into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

  • ITunes 7.3 - Can't import videos into itunes

    I've been trying for a while to import some videos into my iTunes, trying various formats (mv4, mp4 and mov), but none will actually import. I've even tried moving one of my friends movies off a thumbdrive, but that didnt work either.
    Can someone please help me? I have no idea how I can fix this, and there are some radiohead videos that I must have on my iPod.

    I don't know much about Vista, but the first time I tried to import movies, I had to download a compressor. Grant it that I compressed the whole DVD, but still it worked from the finalized compressed version. Then just import, locate file, and open.

  • Can't import videos into iMovie

    Hello, there!
    I just captured a few videos with my screen capture app on my windows laptop. After I transferred them onto my iMac and converted them into .mp4 files i wanted to import them into iMovie but when i selected them only video 4 and 6 out of 6 videos imported into iMovie. i don't know whats the problem when i try again to import the other videos he is loading for like 1 second and nothing happens. i have already tried to restart iMovie and have also restarted my mac.
    Also, this is not the first time something like this happens. but last time the problem just disappeared after a few retries...
    please help! i want to upload them to youtube as soon as possible!

    iMovie uses QuickTime file formats or DV Stream files directly from a camcorder.
    If your files don't open or play properly in QuickTime Player they will not "import" into iMovie.
    If you're authoring on a PC you must keep this basic fact as part of your your export scheme.
    iPod videos are usually 320X240 and will not look good when scaled up to DV dimensions. Some use 480 width MPEG-4 video codecs that could scale but you may not be happy with the results.
    Most Windows exports use Windows only codecs and this is the reason you're not seeing the video. Try exporting as a DV format (blah.dv) from Movie Maker. It may only appear as an option export to .AVI using those codecs.

  • Can I import .aep into photoshop or convert to .psd

    I helped a team mate (at a different location)  with a Poster  (Many Layers).  She needed some special effects.
    I imported the .psd into After Effects 2014 cc
    This is a single frame composition.
    I used special effect video files to add effects and just lined them up where I wanted on the single frame to get the effect i wanted. (Explosion.mov)
    I did this with 6 or 7 different .mov files to create the effect I wanted.
    I exported the poster for delivery. 
    Turned out great.
    My problem is: There are quite a few different pictures and different posters that have to be made.  I just want to send the layers I made back to the Poster (Photoshop) Team Mate.  (She doesn't know or do After Effects)
    How Can I get my project with all the layers BACK to .psd or.... .how can I save this so she can import my .aep back into .psd so she can continue to work there?
    Is this possible?
    Can someone suggest a better workflow?

    Photoshop cannot open the .aep file - you need After Effects to open that.
    I'm not sure how you could put AE data back into PSD form.

  • Can I import video into iMovie Theater directly?

    In iPhoto I created a Slideshow with Music of an iPhoto Album of pictures and video clips. When exported this creates a   .m4v  file.
    Can I directly get this file into iMovie Theater? Without first going to iMovie, importing the .m4v file and Sharing it to Theater, which creates a .mp4  file
    In other words, can I spare this extra time (and effort for the good iMac; it gets quite hot when rendering)?
    (I do not know the difference between these two file types.)
    Thanks for your advice/pointers/solutions

  • Can't import videos into iMovie HD

    Hello,
    I am attempting to edit some Halo videos for my friends. I captured the video on my PC and I am using my video iPod as a flash drive to get them onto my MacBook. I have exported the files into .wmv, mpeg-2, mpeg-4, and .avi. Every format except .wmv, when imported, is either a white screen or a black screen through the whole video. I have the flip4mac trial, but do not want to pay $30 just to get rid of a watermark. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, or what I should even do. Also, when I try to play mpeg-2/4, or .avi files off of my desktop it says that Quicktime cannot open the file.
    What file type should I use in iMovie that will work, or what should I do?
    And I am sure I have the latest version of iMovie.
    /Thanks

  • Can't import video into IMovie 09 from Casio Exilim camera

    I am new to mac and in the process of moving all my old files including many years of photos and video from my old pc life. The move has been painless up until I tried to finally make use of the old videos and create something in IMovie. I was really pumped up after watching the tutorial only to hit a brick wall when I realized that it would not be so easy after all.
    So the problem is this: The video was shot with a Casio Exilim digital camera. The imported into IPhoto with my other pictures. When I click on the video in IPhoto, QuickTime opens and the video plays beautifully with full audio. The problem comes when I try to open that same video in IMovie 09. There is no video recognized. I have found from countless hours searching other threads that the .avi files needed to be converted. I have tried several and the only one I have had any luck with is MPEG Streamclip. I am able to convert the video, but there is no audio.
    I am hoping for a simple solution.

    In my continued search I have a solution to my problem and thought I would share it. If you search for a product called "Video Converter for Mac" it solves the problem. It will cost you $35, but that is much less expensive than a new camera.

  • Can't Import Video into iMovie 08/09

    Hey,
    I recently got an HD Camcorder and I had been able to use it to import movies from it to iMovie 08. However the other day I was not able to anymore. Now I open iMovie 08, it recognizes the camcorder, I select what I want to import and then I click import.
    Then it freezes, iMovie does nothing, doesn't import nada. I have waited 3 hours for a 45 second clip to import. So I decided I would go to Best Buy and I bought iLife 09 and I was hoping that would fix my problems.
    I have the same issues in iLife 09.
    If anyone could please provide a solution it would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Can't import video into iMovie 09 (8.0.6) from older Sony MiniDV with Firewire 400.

    I have about 2 hrs of video from an oral history, done on my Sony DCR-HC85 MiniDV Handycam.  Now I'm trying to upload the video to iMovie '09 (Ver 8.0.6).  I could get the iMac system to recognize the videocam via USB, but that only allows uploads from the memory card. 
    To upload video from tape you have to use the"i.LINK" cable (supplied with videocam).  That's a FireWire 400 cable, and my current early-2009 iMac Intel has only a FireWire 800 port.  However, one of my external drives is an older Seagate with free FireWire 400 ports, so I'm trying to use one of those.
    The iMac does not seem to find the Sony Handycam when I connect it and turn on the camera.  My previous iMac PPC with FirwWire 400 ports and earlier iMovie version did so, no problem.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    apparently Lacie doesn't sell such a cable anymore... http://www.lacie.com/us/products/range.htm?id=10045 ... in any case, as far as I know, these cables do not allow the transfer of video from a camcorder to a computer...
    The Macbook doesn't have any expansion card slot unfortunately...
