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.

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!

  • Background of imported .psd file showing grey green rather than black?

    Hi, the background of a .psd file imported into FCP is displaying a dull green background rather than black...do I need to coordinate the default FCP color profile with Photoshop or...?
    Thanks

  • How do you show multiple products horizontally rather than vertically with the module_productfeaturelist?

    I am trying to have 3 to 4 featured products that share the same tag next to each other rather than stacked.  Is there a way to do this by customizing the "List of Products by Tag" or is there another module I should be using?
    What i am currently getting is this and I would like the side by side instead:
    {module_productfeaturelist,featured,3,Weight,,true}

    Your monitor would need an HDMI connection to hook it to AppleTV.  AppleTV would need to be on the same network as the IMac, presumably wireless if you don't want to run cables.
    You would then need to use Airplay Mirroring, and that requires reasonably modern Macs, see:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    I don't know for certain but if you set up an automatic powerpoint slideshow you could probably export to an AppleTV compatible movie files, and then play that to AppleTV via iTunes as well, which ought to work with older Macs but video might need to be set to loop or repeat itself a lot.
    If you want to use Airplay Mirroring buthave an old Mac, then AirParrot software has a demo, and some people find this ok.

  • Video files show as 4:3 rather than 16:9

    I am a complete novice with video editing and have just bought premiere elements to create DVDs with my new camera!
    It's a Panasonic SDR-H20, non HD, mpeg 2.  I 'get media' via USB2 and AVCHD, DV capture, D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9, 720 x 576,
    but it comes through as 4:3. I can set titles, etc, and burn DVD ok but can't figure out the aspect ratio problem. I have tried Ulead 6 in the past
    and 16:9 is no problem, Thanks

    If the Project Presets are correct for the footage, and the Capture is via PE, and there is still a problem, you might wish to check your camera's settings. There could actually be two: one for the capture, and another for the Export/transfer.
    As there are several variations on "widescreen," it might also help to know exactly how your camera handles that. This would be info in the manual, as I doubt that the Web site would go into enough detail to define what the mfgr. means by "widescreen" with a particular camera. Unfortunately, too many mfgr's. use different terms for different things. Same with 24p and 24pa. Depending on the camera, you could get one of several true frame rates.
    Good luck,

  • Importing PSD files create a black line to the right of some images

    I am importing PSD files into Framemaker 11 and they keep giving me a vertical line on the right side of some images. I already know that other image file formats don't cause this, but I prefer the practicality of PSD files and not having to deal with duplicate files of the same image. I figured that native Adobe files that are supposed to be cross platform compatible should work without any issues. I get lines when converting to PDF documents and when I print them out also. I’m getting ready to publish our catalog and would like to prevent the printer from cleaning them up again.  Does anyone know how to fix it or if Adobe is currently addressing this issue ? Who can I contact to let them know about the issue, since it has been around from the time Frame started accepting PSD files?
    Thanks,
    Tomas

    Hi ais007,
    This is gonna sound really crazy, but this happened to me a couple of years ago. Below is the answer....hope it helps for you!
    Found the answer to this in the framers digest mailout (framers Digest, Vol 71, Issue 9). Hopefully it wll help you too.
    I am not sure about the Illustrator files, but for Photoshop, resize your images so that the last number is an even number. (example: change 3.25 to 3.24)
    This worked for me! I couldn't believe it!

  • PSD files saved as Photoshop Image 13

    I have been using Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) on my Windows 8.1 laptop (64 bit) for over a year and has been working perfect. About two days ago something weird happened. All of my PSD files show that they are Photoshop Image 13 files instead of showing it as a regular Photoshop document. When I open a file or import another Photoshop file, I get a dialogue box saying that the "file cannot be opened because it is not compatible with the current version of Photoshop". I can't figure out what happened. I never saved any files differently that could cause this. I even checked my preferences to see if something was accidentally changed but everything is unchanged. I even uninstalled Design And Web Premium CS6 from my computer and reinstalled it to no avail. What happened? Can someone please help!

  • Imported PSD Files Are Being Erroneously Resized in Captivate 4

    I am trying to import PSD files to use in my Captivate 4 project. I verified that the PSD image size is 800 x 600, and my Captivate project dimensions are the same 800 x 600. But when the import process completes, the layers are erroneously resized to smaller dimensions. I have tried the same thing on two separate installations of Captivate 4 on two separate PC's with the same results.
    Here is a screenshot of the PSD file in Photoshop (image size = 800 x 600):
    Now here is a screenshot of what the imported PSD file looks like in the Captivate project (screen size set to 800 x 600):
    When I do the import, I'm selecting: File --> Import --> Photoshop File..., then I select the "As Layers" option, and do not check the box next to "Scale according to stage size" (I have tried using this option as well with the same results, although I don't believe I should have to rescale when the PSD image size and Captivate project size are the same.)
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much for such a prompt reply...the single .psd file with many layers is imported using:
    Import Kind: Composition
    Layer Options: Editable Layer Styles; Life Photoshop 3D (although there are no 3D layers in the .psd...so I'm unsure if this default is needed?)
    Oh!!  Never mind...I just tried Import Kind: Composition -- Cropped Layers and the layers were not cropped...kind of counter-intuitive since I would have thought "Cropped Layers" would crop the layers rather than the other way around. 
    Thanks for your help...if you just reply to this post I'll mark your reply as the answer, thanks for suggesting the direction to look for a solution, cheers!

  • Layers of imported .psd files are cropped?

    Hi, when importing .psd files the images on layers are cropped...?
    In Photoshop an image on a layer is moved across the visible portion of the document as if it is animated, through the use of comp layers (each new comp layer the image is move a little bit).  However after importing the .psd into After Effects only a portion of the image is visible...it is impossible to recreate the animation roughed out with Photoshop comps because some of the image on the layer being moved is cropped. 
    I hope that makes sense...how can .psd files be imported into After Effects without cropping?  Thanks

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS3 no longer import .psd files?

    Over in the German forum, BjoernG has already asked this question as of this past June.  He's gotten no answer, so let's try it here.  Like Bjoern I use PPro CS3.  Mine is on WinXP with all updates.  I import PSD files as keying masks.  I've never had a problem until this evening (27 Aug 2014).  I tried to import a mask I've used many times before.  And it has always worked before.  Tonight PPro refused to recognize .psd as a supported file type, so it didn't show in the import folder file list.  When I told PPro to show "all files *.*", it showed the file.  When I selected it, PPro even showed the "import file" window, then displayed the "File Import Failure" window with Error Message:  File format not supported.  See the picture.
    This is a file I've imported into many previous projects with no problem whatever.  In fact, I started with a project file from last year which showed the mask file in the project assets but offline!  Even though the file had not been moved.
    If PPro CS3 is as obsolete as Adobe claims it is, then who's been messing with it?  And how can we get it "unmessed"?

    I couldn't imagine what any of those steps would do for my problem – but I didn't have a better idea so I tried them:
    > If Premiere is acting weird, restart computer.
    It's a laptop, so it was off all night.  I turned it on this morning.
    > Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
    If I hold down shift-alt before clicking the desktop icon, all it does is select all icons from top left to the Premiere icon.  It does not start Premiere.
    If I press and hold shift-alt immediately after clicking the icon, Premiere displays every tiny module it loads rather than summarizing.  I held shift-alt until Premiere was fully up and idle.
    > Then empty all media cache.
    I did that.  As I write, Premiere is busy reconstituting all of that.
    Then finally, the acid test:  Try to import a .psd file.  Bzz-z-zt!  Still claims it's an unknown file type.
    > jpegs do not have transparency. You can save as png instead.
    I'm using it as a track matte key, so white is equivalent to transparent.  I do have to select "matte luma" instead of "matte alpha" in the effect.  I'll save your advice in case I ever do need transparency.
    Follow-up:  I checked my other licensed copy.  It accepts .psds just fine.  I checked Help About for both; they're identical:  3.2.0 (374).  So the problem must be in an internal setting, an external influence, or a defective module.  And remember, it's not just me, Björn in Germany reported the identical problem in June.

  • Error when importing psd files into Premiere Pro

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Photoshop CS4.  Whenever I attempt to import a psd file I get this error message:  "File format not supported".  I have tested it with different file sizes and properties.  My files are RGB and 8 bits/channel.  Is there any way to resolve this problem?  I am also using Adobe After Effects and importing psd files works great with it. 
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    The RGB and 8-bit take care of two possible causes, so thanks for getting those out of the way early on.
    Does the PSD file contain Layers? Are any of them mostly Transparent, with just a few pixels, such as a small logo? Those have created issues.
    What is the exact version of CS4, that you are running? Seems that there WAS an issue with PSD's in an earlier version, and that a later update fixed that.
    There is another element with PSD's, that has caused issues, but my feeble mind is suddenly blank on what that was about. Seems that Colin Brougham commented on it not that long ago. I'll see if I can drege up one of those threads, but you might aslo want to do a Search on "PrPro" and "PSD," though the forum Search might still be broken. Maybe Google, and also look for replies from Colin. I'll do the same too. IIRC, one had to Open the offending PSD in PS, and just do a Save_As with a short file name, and a short Path (not buried deeply inside a sub-folder structure), and all was good, but do not recall any other details at the moment. I would also eliminate any spaces in the new file name, just to eliminate any issue there - use the _ like in the old DOS days, though do not think that one had to adhere to the old 8.3 structure.
    Good luck,

  • Importing psd files into AN

    I have been using Edge Preview since the beginning. last time I used the app was 4 months ago. Now I see the newer version 1.0 is out. I got quite used to the older previews but it's been 4 months so I need a refresher course. While I do that and re familiarize myself please correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn that the older Edge previews allowed you to import .psd files.
    Am I right?
    R

    So is it possible to import .psd files now or not? I have not found the way.
    You can export to Edge Fireworks files with an add-on - see here: http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/EdgeAnimate
    It would be great to have the same capability with psd files.

  • I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

    I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

    What version of Photoshop are you running?
    I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
    This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).

  • Wiki file attachments - can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page?

    Can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page? This would enable users to open (and edit) the original server hosted document rather than downloading a static copy that can't be edited and synced back into the wiki page.
    As a workaround I've tried attaching an alias to a file but it doesn't work - the wiki instead uploads the aliased file.
    From what I can work out, the default wiki behaviour is to upload a document to a wiki page, which creates a copy of the uploaded document in the wiki database. This copy has no connection to the original document. It can be downloaded and edited, but the edits are not saved back into the wiki hosted version of the document.
    I'd like to be able to upload a link or alias to a document (with preview please!) already on the server. A user could then preview the document or click to open and edit it.
    The only way I can do this at the moment is to create a link "afp://123.../doc.rtf" to the original. This is timeconsuming and confusing for non-technical users and doesn't offer the benefits of the attach function (ie document preview).
    Is there any way the wiki can be configured to link to documents already on the server using the attach functionality?

    An update for anyone in a similar situation.
    Patch 3944727 for 9.0.4.1 that solves this issue: "USER LOV IASM11SHIP EDIT USER LOV SHOULD SHOW THE NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE." However, the patch is mutually exclusive with the latest CPU's and there's no plan to merge the pacthes given the dwindling support for 9.0.4.1. So that patch is pretty much worthless.
    I've been told that this patch is included in newer portal versions, so the real solution is an upgrade.
