Overlaying a PSD from Photoshop Over Video!

I have a video shot where a man in the audience gets up and walks away. In the past with CS3 I have been able to export a frame of video, import that frame into Photoshop and create a still of the man who stood up (but it would be a still of him sitting down). Then I would delete the rest of the image in Photoshop, save as a psd and bring the psd back into premiere. I would put the psd over the shot of the man standing and cover up his movement while the rest of the shot plays normally.
I tried doing this in cs4 the other day and when I brought the psd back into premiere the color didn’t quite match the video so I applied a color correction to the psd. It applied the color correction to the psd layer of the man and the video on the video layer below it. I don’t want to change the color on my video and only want to change the color on my psd to match the video.
I have to know how to do this now! How do I fix this?

Ok, I found that the Tiffs before being imported into Photoshop did not match the video.  So the problem was in premiere.  After doing some digging and asking around I found the solution.
I had the sequence selected that I wished to export the still frame from and went to:
Sequence>Sequence Setting> and changed the Video Luma Setting from Post Production to Broadcast.
When Broadcast was selected all tiffs being exported from premiere matched the video on the timeline.
I did not have to change anything else in photoshop.

  • Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

    My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
    Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
    I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked)  When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."  I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results.  I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html   Tried all that to no avail.  (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs.  You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
    Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on.  We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time.  The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this.  Hum?  interesting.  No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
    In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products.  I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat.  In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround".  I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
    Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
    Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50.  The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880.  Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error.  So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
    Has anybody already found the fix?
    I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds.  Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

    Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'.  When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up.  I had already given him my callback number.  Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back.  I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem.  Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???).  He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39.  The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???)  Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
    Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
    Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
    1) I complete a PSD file and save it
    2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
    3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed'  The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it.  So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
    4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
    5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
    6) This scenario applies to any machine.  Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
    7) And this is a user problem (???)
    Somebody please tell me:
    1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
    2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
    Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
    I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development.  I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work.  And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

  • Can't import PSD from Photoshop

    This is weird. Trying to import a PSD file. Error message from PPro cs6 is "We were unable to open the file on disk."
    The file is a still image that came to me as a JPG. I read it into Photoshop cs6, cropped it, made the canvas 1920 x 1080 (to match the size of the PPro sequence), did some retouching, and ended by running the Broadcast Safe Luminance action on it. Then I saved it into the PPro project folder as a *.PSD file. Like I've done hundreds of times now with dozens of PPro projects.
    Went to PPro cs6. Found the file using Media Browswer. File...Import From Media Browswer gives me a pop-up Preview In Source Monitor Failure window with the "We are unable to open the file on disk." error message.
    What makes this all the more frustrating is that PPro can find and open the file that I worked on just prior to this one. Same conditions, same workflow, same directory, same protections on the files (I did check that). The two files look to be exactly the same except for the file name, and the file contents. Everything else is as identical as I can make it. And none of my disk drives are even half full, so it shouldn't be a space issue.
    So if PPro can read one, why can't it read the other? And what can I do to get PPro to behave properly and read the file? The files don't seem to be corrupted -- Photoshop can read both of them just fine. In any case, I've recreated the problem file from the *.jpg source several times now so I think I can rule file corruption coming from Photoshop out. Maybe.
    I've wracked my brain for 90 minutes trying to figure out what changed between the first file that works, and the second one that doesn't. I've come up empty. I worked on one, then the other, then imported the first on into PPro (which worked), then imported the second one into PPro (which failed). Exact same source (both files were *.jpg attachements on the same email), same workflow, saved into the same directory. ARGHHHH!!!
    I've done most of the "usual suspects". I've exited out of both Photoshop and PPro and restarted. I've saved the problem file in other fomats (same error no matter what format). So I turned to Teh Google, which didn't turn up much that pertained. Couldn't find anything in the Adobe help docs. So, anyone here tell me what's going on?
    Bruce Watson

    Few things to check - is the Color Mode of the PSD RGB. It cannot be CMYK, or a few others.
    I have had issues with Smart Objects, in that sometimes, they Import fine, but not always.
    Tiny Layers (just a couple of pixels x pixels) have cause problems.
    Adjustment Layers have been known to cause problems.
    Normal Layers, so long as not tiny, always work perfectly for me.
    Nothing else that comes to my mind, but good luck,

  • Placing files from LiveType over video in FCE

    Hi all -
    Another (hopefully) quick one. I've created some basic lower third graphics using LiveType, but I cannot for the life of me get them to properly go over my video in FCE.
    When I try to overlay them on the top level video (this is a multi angle project) it seems to cut a hole in the top level and put the graphic on the secondary video... which I obviously do not want.
    Isn't there a simple way just to overlay it on whatever clip I want? If so, I can't find it.
    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm full of those!
    Frank

    Import the LT project file and place it on the track above the video.
    You might need to put up on the web a graphic of what you're seeing. I'm finding it hard to visualize. Maybe a graphic of what you see in the Canvas and one of the area of the timeline.

  • Psd (from photoshop cs5) layers not showing correctly

    When importing a psd into Fireworks (cs5 - 11.0.1.7), I'm seeing layers visible that were hidden on the photoshop view of the same psd.  Also, some of the gradients and brushes aren't be imported properly.  Would it make sense to save the psd down to something like cs4 compatible before saving it for import to fireworks?

    Well, just found one solution...   Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 previews and then zooming in on each photo in the Library (Loupe) forced the update.  This needs to get fixed!!

  • Overlay a still image over video.

    I am editing a lot of video and have a need to lay an image over the video, like down the left column or even across the bottom.
    What I am doing is editing footage of a poker game we filmed and I want to be able to display the players' hole cards like they do on TV.
    Does anyone have a solution for this? I've looked and looked with no success.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    In iMovie 08, when you overlay a photo over video, it takes the whole screen. iMovie 9, which comes out later this month, should have the ability to do what you are describing.
    Also, if you have QuickTime Pro, you can do this as well. QuickTime Pro is not as intuitive as iMovie so get a good book to help. One such book available from frequent forum participant [QuickTime Kirk|http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book/index.html]

  • Selected/activated button overlay in Buttons over Video

    I have six different buttons over video, with one overlay.
    The buttons are assigned to each of six audio tracks.
    When I select and activate a button the overlay goes from white to red, and the audio changes to the specified audio track. So far, so good. But, when I want to select another button, the red overlay disappears, and I see the selected buttons white overlay. This is of course "default", but I'd like the red overlay to stay, indicating that I'm still listening to that audio track, even if I'm choosing between another button.
    Can this be done somehow? I'm thinking that perhaps I can add a subtitle that tells me what Track I have selected, but the overlay is already a subtitle...
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

    Only one button can be "selected" at a time, meaning when people scroll through the selections on the menu there is an indication of where they are/what they are about to press when they hit enter.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4573106&#4573106, take a look at the last post for a way to try to get the effect sort of happening
    Same general concept applies to buttons over video. Only one state active at a time, and subtitles will not work since the buttons are a subtitle stream (of course you can use add text in the overlay for the buttons) Page 460 of the PDF

  • Can i realize a overlay over video on platform S40...

    I want to realize overlay over video and I have tried to use the interface overlaycontrol in JSR 234.
    Unfortunately it seems this interface is not surpported on S40 et S60. Can anyone tell me is there anyother way to realize the overlay?
    Thanks a lot.

    Maybe you can elaborate.
    The only way I find to create custom videos (overlays, etc) is to:
    a) Use the video editor (on some old versions of N95 and N93 there was a video editor built in that allowed you to add texts and other things to the videos
    b) Use a PC to create the video and add the overlays then encode the video on a format that the phone can understand.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Making Roll over images from photoshop layout

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working on a website and I have sliced my parts of my Photoshop file.
    I have saved as a html with images as well!
    How would I amek a roll over image out of the buttons I made in photoshop and sliced?

    Best thing you can do is delete that HTML file from Photoshop and use the slices and build the code in Dreamweaver.  You will be much better off.
    The simplest solution is to save the 2 states of your button as 2 separate images then click on Insert->Image Objects->Rollover Image.  Then select your before and after image.  Just remember to upload the javascript file Dreamweaver creates during this process or it won't work online.

  • Menu text from Photoshop .psd bitmapped on DVD

    Hi,
    I have edited some footage from DV tape in PP CC, exported sequences and then authored the DVD in Encore with Photoshop .psd files with text layers for menus.
    PP CC Sequence settings: 720x576 25fps D1/DV PAL
    Export Settings: Format: MPEG2-DVD Preset: PAL DV Wide Progressive
    The problem I am having is on final DVD the text on the menus appears very bitmapped, I have left the text menus as text in the psd so should I rasterise it? I have done a test with some menus and tested through encore and it appears not to be any better although I don't have the facility to test on and actual DVD player in my current location.
    Whilst creating the sequences can I up res the footage in Media Encoder to 1920x1080 and set my menus in encore to that but would this mean I would have to write a Bluray rather than a DVD?
    This footage is 14 years old and I want to get the best from it, my knowledge is limited so any advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Martin
    PS Any ideas why Adobe are not developing Encore any more and can anybody suggest any alternatives?

    If you are using more than 72 DPI, or the wrong size, in your template in Photoshop, DVD SP scales it for you, which is something you do not want to happen. 55 Point type should look pretty good (sans-serif better than serif.)
    You should start with a template from Photoshop (PAL it would sound like).
    In CS2 you do not need to scale it because it sets it up up if you are not using the non-square pixel aspect ratio (the 720 x 576 template). If you are setting up otherwise the starting size is 768 x 576 and it should be rescaled to 720 x 576 without constraining proportions (Page 85 PDF)

  • How can I combine animation from Flash with a video from Photoshop to make a movie?

    I have a project that's due tomorrow. I had to create a motion tween and animation and record a video to put in it, which I have done both already. My question here is, how can I combine my animation from flash and my video from Photoshop to make it into one movie?

    No, I am saying that this isn't the forum for help with that. This forum is for Firefox user support, and the helpers in this forum aren't versed in development issues like that - we're volunteers, not Mozilla developers and don't work for Mozilla. You are better off asking about that in a forum where other web site developers do support.

  • Importing a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5

    hi - you guys were so brilliant and prompt on answering my last question. thankyou
    i did have another i needed help with -
    is it possible to bring in a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5 - i tried but it said "the photoshop library operation failed because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
    thanks again

    In the import dialog box, uncheck the Photoshop Sequence option.
    The problem is the number on the end of your file name.  When After Effects sees a number there, and there are other files in that directory with the same name and a number, it thinks the images are part of a sequence and will enable that checkbox.
    More info here: Import a single still image or a still-image sequence
