Layer limit to importing Photoshop to Premiere

I have a photoshop file with 27 folders containing approx4 layers each (text layers and some grpahics) each layer is separate and named accordingly.
However, upon importing this file to Premiere (all layers turned on/visible) Premiere will only import 5 folders deep with the enclosed layers....
Is there a limit to the layers imported? or a workaround so I can import everything....?

Just checked a multi-Layer PSD, that I had used fine in PrPro, and it had 30 Layers (no Folders).
I am sure that there IS a limit somewhere, but have never hit it myself.
Wish that I could give you a direct answer.
Good luck,

How can I make title screens in either Illustrator or Photoshop and import them into Premiere Pro?

I'm having trouble finding the identical aspect ratio to import either an Illustrator or Photoshop title screen into Premiere Pro. There are so many ratios to choose from with Premiere Pro that I've about lost my mind. I was able to import Photoshop title screens into iMovie with no problem. I'll be importing the finished video into my YouTube channel. I want it to be widescreen but have no clue which ratio to use. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I always start with New Image in Photoshop, and then choose a Video Preset, that matches my PrPro Sequence. I use one with Guides. I usually choose to create that New Image with a Transparent Background.
Once complete, I just do a Save_As to PSD, which will be Imported into PrPro. If you have Ps Layers, you have two choices on Import: you can Import as Footage, which will Flatten your Layers, or you can Import as a Sequence to keep the Layers separate. Depending on what I will be doing, I might select one, or the other. If you Import as a Sequence, you can then animate each Layer individually.
Good luck,

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

This issue is with respect to Elements 13.

Problem: importing a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere.

Dear Adobe community,
I am trying to import a transparent image from Photoshop to Premiere Pro CC. Whatever file format I choose to export from Photoshop, Premiere Pro CC will not import the file correctly. When I import is, two things occur: 1) the image gets imported, but the white background is still there or 2) the image gets an error "The importer reported a generic error".
Does anyone have an idea how I can get an image with a white background transparent into Premiere Pro CC.
Specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, eind 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB RAM
1536MB Intel Iris videocard
Thanks!

You need to make sure the image has an alpha channel.
Images like jpeg dont have an alpha channel.
Psd or png do and the image has to be RGB.
Make sure the background in PS is also transparant.

Import jpeg from photoshop into premiere pro CS5 and keep exact proportions.

We are trying to insert jpegs into the timeline of a project that was captured DV movie frame 720 x 480. A graphics person has created jpegs with the frame size of 1440 x 960. When I import that into Premiere, we have a black space above and below the safe margins when I scale to frame size and am first wondering if that will be ok. When I change the image size to 720 x 480 and import that and put it in the timeline, the pictures seem to be a little elongated. Can you please tell me how to import the jpegs into premiere and keep the exact proportions for the jpegs?

By changing the pixel aspect ratio to 720 x 534, all works perfectly now. Thank you for the help.

Why poor quality in EPS layer or type from Photoshop TIFF

This is probably a resolution issue that I don't understand, being relatively new to video. The last panel of a book trailer I'm finishing is an image from a children's book that I'm assembling in Photoshop. This layered file has the book's illustration, plus our logo (a vector file placed normally) and a type layer. It looks great in PS. When I flatten in, and then import it into Premiere both the logo and the type look a bit wonky.
When I created the sequence I chose DV-NTSC, Widescreen 48kHz. I'm obviously missing something. The TIFF that I'm working from is huge (6000x3000 px). Any help would be appreciated. Here is the MP4 with the problem on the last few seconds: https://vimeo.com/68399118

Upon further reflection, the entire video isn't as sharp as it should be, though I figured out one way to avoid/correct this. I started with a new sequence (AVCHD 1080p 30fps), copied my timeline over to there, and when exporting via Quicktime, it still came out slightly fuzzy, but exporting via H264 to an MPEG, its now sharp as a tack. Not sure why this is working, why this is now sharp when it wasn't before, but if anyone can reverse engineer an explanation for me, I'll learn.

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

mbuenger
Are you referring to how many times can I install, uninstall, reinstall Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer?
Or, how many of your computers can have a same purchased activated serial number at the same time for either of these products?
If the former, I know of no limit.
If the latter, the answer would be as John as mentioned.

Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello Community:
I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project. I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours. I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

Same issue. I previously used NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

Why the White Lines around imported Photoshop Images

Working in CS6, importing native Photoshop images into an Illustrator gradient. Certain imported Photoshop images, with transparent background, produce white lines bordering the images. The white lines stand out against the AI gradient. The whites lines are not visable on screen. They came out in the commercially printed product. The overall AI document, with PS images placed and linked, was save to a PDF. It was then printed from the PDF. The PDF, as viewed on screen, does not show the white lines either. Why and how do the white border lines (the box surrounding the image) appear?

First I would recommend making sure there are indeed »no pixels« there in Photoshop – applying the Layer Style Stroke can help locate stray, semitransparent pixels.
Other than that I am afraid your print service provider may not have provided optimal output.
What print process was employed anyway?
It looks like flattening effects, but those should simply not be visible in print.
They happen when exporting X1 or X3 pdfs, which disallow transparency, so in creating the pdf the psd files that have transparency are flattened with whatever background and often broken up into smaller parts.
That way a whole mess of fragmentary images can be created, as one can see when one opens such a pdf in Illustrator.
One can avoid that by creating X4 pdfs, which do allow transparency, but if those can be processed by the printer is another question.
But this issue might be more suitable to the Illustrator or pdf Fora.

Flash Catalyst CS5.5 Crashes when importing photoshop document

I am trying to import a photoshop file authored in Photoshop CS5.1 into Flash Catalyst CS5.5, and Flash catalyst crashes every time part way through the import. A few specifics:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Photoshop CS5.1
Catalyst CS5.5
I have searched this forum for suggestions, and I have tried a number of them:
* Removing layers from the source psd file to find a culprit layer (Removing all but one layer still crashes)
* Running Photoshop in 32 bit mode, dragging the layers to a new document and saving
* Waving chicken bones over my laptop (Nobody really suggested this, for good reason -- it doesn't work)
I have also replicated this crash on other Macintosh computers running the same Catalyst and Photoshop versions.
I have included part of the crash dump below. I've highlighted the section that mentions how many crashes I've had. I am happy to provide .psd files to demonstrate the issue, and troubleshoot any way necessary.
Thank you,
Cameron

Hum. Have you tried a new Photoshop file with say one layer in it and just a fill or something very basic, then importing that in?
This might tell us if it is the PSD that has the issue or the import engine in Catalyst.
You said you removed the layers. So you tried importing each of the layers one by one into Catalyst with success? Then that means you have one layer that is troublesome. I would suspect that there is a filter or effect that has been applied that source of the issue.

What's differences gaussian blur in Photoshop and Premiere?

I would like to ask about the gaussian blur of Photoshop and Premiere.
Normally, in Photoshop it says pixels in radius, but in Premiere it says only blurriness. Does anybody knows the differences of these two? I used Premiere to apply gaussian filter for our clips, but I want to know the value with pixels in radius.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure. But you could probably match it up pretty quickly.
Blur an image in Premiere with blurriness 50.
Open the original image and the blurred image in Photoshop, put them together in the same document and set the layer blend mode to "difference".
Then blur the original with Gaussian Blur and change the radius until it matches Premiere's result (image goes black because the 2 layers are the same).
My guess is that the numbers have the same meaning, but someone put a really wrong label on it in Premiere.

How Can I Import CR2 into Premiere Pro CC?

Hi, I have quite a lot of CR2 files that I'd like to import into a Premiere project. It's telling me that the file format is not supported. Is there a good workaround or plug in that anybody could recommend? I'm a little bit of a novice as Premiere is concerned. Any help would be terrific!
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
Depending on which Canon camera is shooting the CR2's (those change with the model of camera), and depending on the version of the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module one has installed, then Photoshop, LightRoom, or Photoshop Elements, should be able to Open the CR2's, and Save_As (either with, or without processing - though I always do some processing). Jim's suggestion for PNG is a good one. In my workflow, I just stick with PSD's, as I often have many different uses for the files, beyond Video.
Now, Adobe updates the ACR modules, with some frequency, so if your specific Canon is not supported with the latest ACR, it soon will be added. Also, at points in the development of the ACR modules, Adobe will no longer be able to write the modules for older versions of Ps, PsE or LR, so one might have to upgrade the host program. An alternative to the Adobe programs would be the Image editor supplied with the Canon camera, as it should be able to Open the CR2 files, and then Save_As, to a format that PrPro can use. There ought to be a program with a name like EOS Utility, on the utility disc, that came with the camera.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - as an interesting sidenote, Premiere Elements does allow for the use of ACR modules, and if those are updated, will allow direct Import of the CR2's, or NEF's (Nikon Camera RAW), or similar - so long as the most recent ACR module includes support for that particular version of Camer RAW.

Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10

I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10, but the DVD will not load. Help!

It is possible the disc is defective. Can you read the contents of the disc? If you are unable to find a file that resembles an executable for the type of system you own, then you should contact support to confirm that your discs are faulty and they can probably point you in the right direction for obtaining new discs.
Here are some links to help make contact if you find the need to:

Aside from that...
You should be able to download the software as trials via the links below and use the serial number from the discs to activate.

Workflow from Photoshop into Premiere

I want to take some still photos from Photoshop and bring them into a Premiere 1920 x 1080 sequence.
My plan is to do some basic color correcting and to then crop the images to 1920 x 1080 and save them as either tiffs or psd files for import into Premiere.
1. Is there a built in way to go back-and-forth between Photoshop and Premiere?
2. Which color profile should images be saved with from Photoshop to Premiere?
3. Is it problematic to bring in lots of images that are much larger than the sequnce settings in Premiere? So as an example, if the settings are 720 x 480 and I import 100 1920 x 1080 images, I'm guessing they will all display correctly in the sequence, though they just add extra file size? OR does it cause problems to bring in larger images than is necessary?
Thanks.

This is something I do often. I would do your color correction in Photoshop and save as PSD's. I would import in PPRO as native PSD's. The reason I like to do this is because if I want to go back and modify the color it's as simple as doing an "edit original", making your modifications and saving the file and the file will update in PPRO.
Also if you export the photo sizes larger than the frame size of your sequence, it may be handy if you plan to pan, zoom and animate the photos. I personally always tend to bring them in larger than the sequence settings specifically for this reason.
Hope that helps.
