Imported .bmp files appear black, no image can be seen

Hi all,
I am attempting to import some .bmp assets that will be part of a webpage I am creating using iweb. However when I import the .bmp files they appear black instead of seeing the graphic. Any ideas?

Ron
Yes but what color profile are they?
Given that they have red in them, then they are not greyscale images, however, given that they come from Illustrator there is a very good chance that they have a CYMK profile, and as I said, iPhoto supports RGB only. Open the images with Preview and use the Tools menu to ascertain the Color Profile. Change it to RGB if needed.
Regards
TD

One of my imported MOV files turns "black" after editing with it for a time and I can't retrieve the images. This has happened three times, only this file. The placeholder is still there. Files are fine on hard drive. What gives? how to stop this?

Why does my imported .mp4 movie appear black?

Imported an .mp4 movie (technical animation created in another app) into EA (2014 CC).
Added buttons and interactivity, everything works fine, assignment completed.
A month later, go back into EA to make minor changes.
However, when I'm EA, the .mp4 movie now appears black, thus making it impossible for me to make changes.
FYI: When I Preview In Browser, the animation plays back fine.
Question: Any ideas as to why the imported movie now appears black when I play it back within the app?

Joe,
·         I just uploaded the folder to my “Creative Cloud Files”.
·         Right now, it is set to “Share with Nobody”.
·         When I click on “Share with”, I get 2 choices, “Nobody” or “Specific people”.
·         When I click on “Specific people”, I get 2 choices, “Everyone” or “Find people”.
·         I’d rather not select “Everyone” because it is a company doc.
·         Is there a way for me to add your name in “Specific people”?
·         Please advise, thanks.

(Yellow) Highlights appear black. How can I fix this?

Today I woke up to find that I can't read the highlighted parts of my PDFs because they suddenly appear black. I have a Mac. Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Many thanks.

Hi Anubha Goel. Thank you for your response.
No, the document was not sent to me, and it happens with all my PDFs.
MAC OS: 10.6.8
I already tried what you suggested. Still looks black.
Another weird change: when I select a line or two, instead of the selected
part looking blue (as it did before), now it looks black and the letters
look orange.
Thank you.
Regards.

I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

After Effects SWF file appears black with no image. Only 2 layers in AE file (one that moves the other static). Please help!

After Effects 5.5.
I need this file as a swf but it appears black when I export.
Only 2 layers in AE file (one that moves the other static). Please help!
Thank you!

Thanks for your response. Is there no other way to get the swf file to work properly from After Effects?
What is the best way to go about using the MP4, F4V or FLV formats to save as a swf in Flash?
Can you advise how I can save it to MP4, F4V or FLV from After Effects Creative Cloud? they don't seem to be visible (I also have creative cloud)
Thank you very much

I cannot view clips on the viewer window - as it appears black, However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.

Hello!
I cannot view any of the clips (not from event browser nor from timeline) on the viewer window - as it appears black/or blank/ or static ! However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.
P.S I have chosen the filter: ALL
Please help me with that I'm getting desperate ! I need to finish a project within one week :(
A million thanks in advance

Hi F. Carl
The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
The issue is:
I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

Aperture won't import .bmp files

I just set up Aperture (v. 1.5.4), and imported from iPhoto Library. All the .jpegs and .tiffs transferred over, but the .bmp files didn't. I tried to manually import them, but when I selected the folder they're in for import, the .bmp files didn't even show up as possible selections. They're there, but Aperture doesn't recognize them.
Any way around this?

"Compatible with all major still image formats
JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, PSD(2)"
Note that BMP is not in that list, probably because it's a relatively rare image format these days.
Your only way around this is to convert the files into another format. This is actually quite easy using Automator.
1. Open Automator, click on Preview in the Library pane and drag a 'Change Type of Images' action into the main area.
2. If you want to over-write the BMP files, don't add a copy action when Automator asks. I'd recommend leaving the copy action in and pointing it towards another folder.
3. Pick a file format to convert to, such as JPEG. Note that there aren't any compression options.
4. File>Save as Plug-in... and choose Finder from the drop-down menu. Give it a sensible name such as 'convert to JPEG' and this will now turn up in the Automator part of the contextual menus in the Finder.
From now on whenever you want to convert a file to a JPEG, right-click on it and choose Automator>(whatever you named the action) and all selected files that you clicked on will be converted.

How do I import BMP files?

If i navigate to a folder with TIF files, i see them. If i navigate to a folder with BMP files, i get "No Photos found".
I am new to lightroom .....

You can't import or use BMP files in Lightroom. You'd have to convert them to JPG or TIF using something like IrfanView.

AVI files appear black on the timeline, no video

I have a series of AVI files that play fine in Windows Media and VLC media player. When I drop them on the timeline (Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, version 6.0.5), each clip shows up as black – with the correct length, but no video. Can you assist?

Hi,
What is the source of the file?
Is it from a screen capture?
If the file is in a variable frame rate the Picture would come up as black.
You can try cc_merchant's advise of converting the file, it should work.
Thank You
Arjun

Import frame file pulls in blank images

When I import a frame file into RoboHelp, all images are blank. Source files are all on my workstation.
I tried installing the TifLZWSetup but to no avail. The images coming from Frame into RoboHelp are still blank.
If I save the .tif image in an uncompressed format and re-import the frame file, the image comes in fine but there are tons of images in the user gudies (all saved as compressed files) so I'm hoping that I've missed something here.
I'm using the Technical Communication Suite.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2. I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch. Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title. The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly. I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over. I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear. It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

Since updated to CC 2014.1 - 6k Red .R3D files appear black when paused

I have a project that was started in the previous version of CC and now we've updated to CC 2014.1 (latest version). I noticed that since the update, when there is a Red .R3D file in the source monitor, it will go black after a few seconds (when the full resolution image would have appeared). I'm viewing the quality in 1/16th. When I scrub or play I can see the footage fine. It is only when I pause that the window soon turns black. If the playhead is over a red .r3d file in the sequence, the same thing will happen. Also, I can't play full resolution either - it will remain totally black.
When I turn off Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and choose Software Only in the project settings, this problem goes away. However I don't prefer to work that way because other things seem significantly slower.
The video card in this machine is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 - EFI Driver Version: 01.00.436
Any ideas? This is on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) with latest version of Mavericks.

Your In box grows from other people's issues? Sorry, I'm not understanding. Are you in support or education as well?
"This kind of issue…" refers to what? File based camera formats like AVCHD, etc.? As Neil says, there are lots of things that can go wrong with these kinds of formats. Chief among them is not ingesting them correctly, via the Media Browser not File > Import.

I don't believe I know of any one company creating complex software that doesn't need a larger support staff. We do the best we can with what we are given. Of course, I have no control over how many support agents we have on the phones or on chat. I'm lucky now that I have a couple of agents dedicated to the forums, so you should see this situation improving.

Imported PSD files showing up as images rather than sequences with layers

I am trying to import layered photoshop files (.PSD) into FCP 6, but they are not showing up in my browser as sequences with a video track dedicated to each layer, like the manual says they should. They show up instead as still images. It worked once on a previous project, but not any more and I haven't changed any FCP settings or Photoshop settings that I am aware of since then.
If any can tell me how to import them as layered sequences, I would greatly appreciate it!
Please note: I already confirmed the image mode is RGB colour and that the bit depth is 8 as someone suggested in a December 10th post to someone with a similar problem.
Rookie

Tom W, Meg the Dog & David H,
David H - No, they wouldn't open as sequences when I double clicked them.
Meg the Dog - I confirmed the settings you suggested and noticed that a few of the images I wanted to import were over that 4000 pixel width restriction you mentioned, however, without resampling them, I was able to import them...but only after Tom W's suggestion...
Tom - I'm glad you raised the point about photos edited in Photoshop on a PC versus a Mac. My photos were in fact edited on my PC, and it wasn't until I opened them and re-saved them on my Mac, that I was able to import them as a sequence into FCP. Thank you so much for pointing this out!
Problem solved! Thank you so much Tom W, Meg the Dog and David H!

RAW files appear as negative images. Please explain.

I imported RAW images from a card reader and selected DNG. In the Library, the images appear as blotches of color or presents or whatever. I've tried to find a solution for a week, but have not succeeded. It's really quite frustrating because I'm sure it's something simple.

Blotches of color could indicate that the file is corrupted. This is almost always a hardware problem ... camera card, card reader or USB cable, hard disk. Try using other hardware to transfer your photo to a different hard disk. see if that helps.
