Missing frames in smart object converted video layer?

I noticed that whenever i try to convert a video layer I drew on in photoshop to a smart object, when i play it back there are empty frames! And no matter what I do I cannot get it to show the frames. Now I know the frames werent empty when i first drew on the video layers, and when i import a video into photoshop and convert it to a smart object all the frames are there. So I guess it's just an error with video layers with drawings on them done in photoshop? I tried googling every possible wording of this scenario but I found NOTHING, so can someone please help me?

after using  high fidelity image trace  i hit expand, then i went to layers and hit the drop arrow by my thumbnail, which then shows <Group>,hit that drop arrow and it will show a list of all your paths, the very bottom one was my white background, you can click the eye or delete that path and it disappeared for me. i was using a png file with a transparent background, and nothing else worked for me, it always converted with white background, i never saw this mentioned anywhere, and accidentally discovered it, hope it works!!!

  • Opening a smart object (photoshop cc layer) in camera RAW?

    Opening a smart object (photoshop cc layer) in camera RAW? I have opened a processed RAW file from lightroom into photoshop cc, then done various processing and created a merged layer. I've then convered this layer to smart object (it displays the smart object layer icon). When I double-click this layer thumbnail it opens up in a seperate photoshop tab and I want to go back to RAW. I've tried this on various files and I can't seem to reopen smart objects back in RAW. I have file handling preferences set to "prefer adobe camera raw for supported raw files" and have done a fair amount of 'googling' but not getting anywhere. Thanks for any help

    Try the Filter menu item then select Camera Raw Filter. it should then open in ACR for further editing. No it is not the RAW image but the smart object you have.

    Hi Chris,
    I need a vector smart logo that is on a PSD layer as a vector file in illustrator so I can plot cut on a vinyl cutter. How can I make sure the logo transfers as .ai at the exact size showen in the Photoshop document? I remember doiing this a few years ago but forgot the proceedure. It's probably a very easy step and once I have the answer I'll say "oh that's right I remember now" The export path to Ilustrator only gives me the saved paths in this document.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

  • Smart object with a layer mask.

    I'm using CS4 and I have run into a problem. When ever I create a smart object, photoshop applies a layer mask where is never did before. I can't figure out how to revert photoshop drawing the smart object without the layer mask.
    It's driving me insane. I can't do anything and when I remove the layer mask, the smart object fills the whole canvas. Not happy!

  • Smart Object convert colors

    I'm working with color proof and the result is very very important to the final work.
    So I'm worried because when create a smart object from all layers in RGB mode and then convert the image to CMYK the result is a little different that if I convert a flat image. Why do this happens? And how I control to obtain the same result?
    Placed a linked file has a different color result too.
    I need to maintain all layers available, so I trying to work with this method.
    Any answer or help?

    And how I control to obtain the same result?
    You don’t.
    At least with many possible combinations of transparencies and Blend Modes it is impossible to obtain the same result in CMYK as in RGB while maintaing the original Layer structure.
    Placed a linked file has a different color result too.
    Different from embedded Smart Objects or just different from the flattened image?
    To be blunt you probably don’t fully comprehend the principal difference between additive and subtractive colors.
    Also are you sure your CMYK space conforms to the specific print process?

  • Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

    Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
    "Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
    As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
    Thanks for the help.
    Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

  • Smart object or duplicate layer/ decrease resolution or free transform

    Hi all
    I would appreciate some advice on a few questions I have regarding PS.
    1) I intend to place an image I have been working on into another file in photoshop. To keep file size down and to keep as much quality as possible which is my best option? The options I see available to me are to save the file as a TIFF
    and then duplicate the layer into the new file or to place the image as a smart object. Or is there a better way?
    If I were to place it as a smart object in which format is best? I will not need to work on the original file once it has gone into the new file.
    2) I have a subject matter in a raw file that is quite small and needs to be made larger once in photoshop. I see two options for me. First one is decreasing the resolution from 300 to something like 250 which will make im the subject matter the right size. The second option I see is to free transform the image in photoshop to make it larger.
    I intend to print these files on A4 at a commercial printers.
    Thanks

    As to your question #2:  by all means do any upsampling of the raw file inside Adobe Camera Raw through the ACR workflow options (looks like a link right under the ACR preview window) to the exact dimensions you'll be using.  That'll give you the best quality.
    Downsampling to upsample later is just nuts!
    Re #1:  "To keep file size down and to keep as much quality as possible"  is an oxymoron.  You get either or.
    It's always best to work at the final output size.

  • The photoshop stops working when we choose to convert video layer, the problem.

  • How to avoid transparent background converting to white in smart object(psb )when image trace High Fidelity as we have the option of ignore white upto 16 colors trace.

    i have a psd image file in photoshop cc 2014 that has transparent background layer. I wanted it to convert to vector. The best option i saw was to first convert it to smart object in photoshop via Layer->Smart Objects-> Convert to smart Object. then exported it to a psb. Then i opened the file in illustrator and applied the image trace tool but the transparent background got converted to white but i had the option of ignore white upto 16 colors trace. But in case of High Fidelity Conversion, the ignore white option is not available, what should I do now?

    after using  high fidelity image trace  i hit expand, then i went to layers and hit the drop arrow by my thumbnail, which then shows <Group>,hit that drop arrow and it will show a list of all your paths, the very bottom one was my white background, you can click the eye or delete that path and it disappeared for me. i was using a png file with a transparent background, and nothing else worked for me, it always converted with white background, i never saw this mentioned anywhere, and accidentally discovered it, hope it works!!!

  • Layer Comps should capture changes to a Linked Smart Object's Layer Comp

    Normally, I can move things around or change visibility, and use Layer Comps in my master doc to capture these changes.
    However, changing which Layer Comp displays from a Linked Smart Object cannot be captured by Layer Comps in my master doc.
    Slightly more information: Sorry it's a little convoluted. I have several Linked Smart Objects inside a master doc, and these Smart Objects contain different Layer Comps. It's awesome that I can easily change which Layer Comp each Smart Object displays. But when I make a change, it cascades across the Layer Comps in my master doc. So my master doc's Layer Comps cannot effectively capture a state.
    It would be awesome if Layer Comps were able to capture state changes for the display of Linked Smart Object's Layer Comps. #featurerequest

  • Linked - Smart objects   Layer comp

    I have one smart object with many layer comps. This smart object is linked inside my master file which in turn has many layer comps.
    Is there a way to in the layer comps of the master file affect the layers comps inside the smart object?

  • How do i adjust layers below a Shadows/Highlights smart object layer

    Hi
    In Photoshop CC I have created a number of layers for smart tonal adjustments.
    I then created a Smart object Shadow/Highlight layer base upon a copy of all layers below.
    However my layers below can no longer be altered as the Shadow/Highl;ight layer is a copy of them.
    Is there away to allow me to stack the layers so that i can still make adjustments to my layers below after have created a Shadow/Highlight layer.
    Seems impossible.

    You can stack SOs pretty much for ever.  Just right click the SO with the Shadow/Highlight adjustment, and turn it into a Smart Object.  Then you can add a layer mask to make parts of the underlying layers visible.  But you mainly need to manage your workflow to avoid this situation, or use the SO as a new Background Layer, and carry on working from there.   That is how I tend to work.
    Incidentally, as you have CC, do consider using Camera RAW as a filter, on a SO layer, in preference to Shadow/Highlight.  S/H was always portrayed as Photoshop magic, but in actual fact it produces nasty artefacts and makes an image look unreal and plastic.  When the Camera RAW engine was updated with the Process Version 2012 (PV2012) with version 7.#, it took a big step forward, and allowed drastic use of the sliders without the nasty artefacts this would have cause with earlier versions.  AFAIK S/H was not updated, and IMO should have a little skull and crossbones next to it in the Image > Adjust menu.  Or better still, removed altogether.

  • Smart objects generate huge ( 10 GB) temp files ??

    Hi folks. I think there's a bug in CS3's smart object handling. Everytime I move (not resize!) a smart object, the temp file's size increases by some 100-200 MB. I easily get over 10 GB just by moving around a single object repeatedly.
    I find that quite weird, given that normal layer moving does not significantly alter the temp file's size. And PS only has to store the smart objects new X and Y coordinates as the object itself does not change. Am I missing something ? Anybody knows what's going on ?

    Converting Smart objects back to embedded layers would be a very useful addition. "Return to layers" would be a good term for it.
    If you are looking for real world examples where this would be useful Chris
    to simplify and bring down the file size of a file that has got out of hand with smart Objects. Some sort of global command "embed all Smart objects" in the layer/smart objects menu would also be useful for this purpose.
    Objects of the same res and profile could then be non-destructively edited by swapping them in and out of smart objects for direct editing within the master document.
    would be particularly useful when for example you need to detach a single instance of a duplicated SO from the others.
    There is sometimes a need to return layers, and adjustments back into the master document to directly modify how they interact with their surroundings in terms of color and masking - for compositing. Its useful for simplicity to have them tucked away as SO's still
    Of course data loss due to resampling, bit depth and modes could be greeted with a warning, perhaps the warning could be contextual "this operation will result in data loss, will decrease file size by 75%, change its mode from LAB, and resample the embedded pixels to 120%".
    What happens to the smart-filters? if they are there, a choice either to rasterise them or abandon them

  • PS opens vector smart object all pixilated

    I have this problem when using graphics from Illustrator as vector smart objects in Photoshop. I have followed tones of heated discussions on this but I haven't got any further. So here is what I do following the steps on the PS help: I copy graphics in AI and paste them in PS as smart object. A layer will be added that even has the name vector smart object but the graphic itself is all pixilated. Now the size of my PS-file is 150X150 Pixels with a resolution of 300. I need this size because I want to implement the file into my website and the layout requires this size for all my graphics. I would say it doesn't matter much what size the file is anyway since according to the PS help whatever vector smart object I place in Photoshop it won't change image quality when transformed. Therefor I'd say that not even the small file should be a problem here. But obviously there is something not working... because even when, to compare, I paste the graphic as pixel it shows the same result. Strange enough that I have used this vector smart objects before and it worked just fine... So I tried to paste the graphic in different ways, saving it as pdf in AI and then placing it in PS, insert it directly as smart object, making sure the file handling and clipboard references are adjusted, and finally after no success trashing the preferences in both applications. Still not closer to a satisfying result. I attach the graphics (first the AI graphic, then the vector smart object from PS) to show the difference and maybe there is someone out there that can tell what I am doing wrong. By the way I just converted the files to jpegs to post them here so the sizes might not match on the screen...

    One other thing to check...
    Are you viewing the display at 100%?
    Photoshop's OpenGL-based image resizing algorithms are smoother and fuzzier than they used to be (or than they are with OpenGL disabled).  What I'm getting at is that you may be perceiving fuzziness in the display that's not really there in the image.
    How does the fuzziness look if you zoom in a lot?

  • Basic Smart Objects

    1. In CS5, If I drag a layer from one file to another, does PS always place the image as a smart object into the new file?
    2. I understand that the idea behind smart objects is that I can edit the smart object without making permanent changes, though what does that really mean? I could always go back to the new layer and revert it to the way it was when I first dragged it in?
    Thanks.

    1) No. Use File > Place to place a doc as a smart object, or convert the dragged layer to a smart object using Layer . Smart Object > Convert to smart object.
    2) For resizing the smart object layer, that would be a way of thinking of them. Another thought would be filters applied to smart objects are editable, so you can change their settings if, and when, you need. You can also stack smart filters on top of each other, which can be quite useful. Yes, you can revert the new layer, just open the smart object (SO) and copy/paste out the original layer.
    An example would be a square sheet of paper with type on it that you've made into an SO and then warped to make it look like it's fluttering in the wind. You can open the SO and add more type to the piece of paper -- the type you add is typeset with straight baselines, but the final object has those curves you desired (and got just right) -- maybe some rotation or even a blur to simulate depth-of-field. Decide you'd like to make that paper the constitution? Just copy and paste a pic of the constitution into the SO and presto! It's a-fluttering.
