Photoshop CS6 extended won't import videos, help please?

Before I get to the meat and potatoes (details), I'd like to ask that you don't be an @$$ with your answers, please, if my friend is doing something wrong, don't just say "well, derp, you're doing something wrong", actually tell me what he's doing wrong so I can tell him and he can fix the issue. He'd post but he's having internet issues as of 10 minutes ago.
My friend got Photoshop CS6 extended so he could do a few things with his photos, he also wanted to try out some of the stuff with the video editing, and since it's the extended version, it should (at least in theory) import video, right? Wrong, no matter what format he converts to he gets an error telling him he's using the right kind of document. I have seen the photoshop video editor, my friend has seen the video editor, but we can't get it on his copy of photoshop because he can't get a video to import no matter what format he converts to. Is there a way to fix this or has the promise of video editing in the extended version of photoshop just been a lie? I'm confused, please help.
FORMATS TRIED:
.3gp
.3g2
.avi
.asf
.DV
.mkv
.mpg (mpeg1 and mpeg2)
.mp4
.mov
.mts
.m2ts
.ts
webM format
.wmv
NONE OF THESE FORMATS WORK FOR VIDEO EDITING IN PHOTOSHOP CS6 EXTENDED. He can use it for photo but he really wants to try the video editor since he doesn't like movie maker and he can't afford any other video editing software right now.

To see if there is something deeper see if the video plays in Bridge.

HELP! VIDEO IN CS6 EXTENDED WON'T IMPORT MOV FILES, ONLY JPEG

Hello. I have a problem with the video editor in my CS6 Extented. I have the newest updates (checked an hour ago), and restored default preferences before beginning the first video exercise in Chapter 10 of "Adobe Photoshop CS6/Classroom In A Book". The book came with practice files on a DVD. I installed those (for chapter 10) into my PC. Following the book's directions to create a new video file, everything is fine, and works just as shown in the book, until I import the 9 sample files (6 Jpegs and 3 MOV files). After placing these files onto the timeline, I am instructed to resize the duration of the JPEGs to 3 seconds, that works. But when I go to resize the MOV files, they will not expand. When I zoom in all the way, they are clearly empty place holders, of no lenght. The marker says they are "01F", which looks to me like 1 frame. Yet looking at the files before importing them in to Photoshop and placing them on the timeline, the first two files show as being 11 seconds long, and the third MOV file is 37 seconds long. And, I can play all three files on my Windows media player. But again, as soon as I place these on the time line, they are reduced to a sliver of just one frame, that can not be expanded.
I placed these files first using the method described in the book, which is to "Click the video menue in the Layer 0 track, and choose Add Media." I then went to the lesson 10 folder on my internal hard drive, shift selected the 9 files as directed, then clicked open.   I turned off my PC and then rebooted, three times, always getting the same results. I then went and looked at some on-line traing videos, where they showed selecting the video files, then clicking on the "+" at the right end of the time line, and that did the same thing, moving the JPEGs fine, and chopping the MOV files down to one frame.
As another clue, before creating the video file in the exercise, the book directed me to load the finished file that they supplied, into Photoshop, and to play that in Photoshop, to see what the final project would look like. I did that, and the video played fine. And the book instructed me to note how the files in the timeline matched up with the files in the layers panel, and all of that looked just like in the book. But I can NOT get the video/MOV files to move in to the time line when I do it as instructed.
And I am running Windows 8.1, on a brand new pc with a fairly highpowered dedicated video card with 3 gig of on-board ram, and 16G of ram in my PC.
What do I do?   Thank you, Chuck

Thank you Silkrooster!   I did the download of Quicktime and re-did the video training exercise, but this time it worked flawlessly! Thanks, Chuck
PS: As I entered the forum, I noticed someone else with the exact same problem that I had. But that person was able to ask their question in a couple of simple sentences instead of my long ramble!

Photoshop CS6 Extended Timeline Video Animation - How to make rotation animation

Hi All
In the timeline panel in CS6 EXTENDED, you have a video feature, where you can animate three things:
Position
Style
Opacity
What I would like to know, is: How can I animate rotation of a layer? I want to rotate my layer at an angle and animate it. But when I rotate, the first animation frame is also rotated, resulting in NO animation between the frames.
Thank you

You can also create a COUNTERCLOCKWISE rotation animation using the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Timeline:
1. Make your first rotation keyframe by rotating your smart object layer -1 degrees.
2. Make your second rotation keyframe by clicking near the middle of the timeline and rotating your Smart Object layer -179.9 degrees.
3. Click near the end of your timeline, and make your third rotation keyframe by rotating your Smart Object Layer 1 degree.
Create CLOCKWISE rotation, as described in JJMack's post:
1. Make your first rotation keyframe--no need to rotate because we want the rotation Value to be Zero.
2. Make your second rotation keyframe by clicking near the middle of the timeline and rotating your Smart Object layer 180 degrees
3. Click near the end of your timeline, and make your third rotation keyframe by rotating your Smart Object Layer 180 degrees.
Thanks JJMack, your input and animation helped me immensely.

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open. Help?

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open. It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up. Any ideas from anyone?

Hi Steve -
I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere. Not in Application Folder. Not in the Finders Directory Files. I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there.
So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6. Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files.
When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons - red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical) Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart). Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge?
Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE?
DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH.
I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files. In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite. Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC?
Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue. It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional. Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive. I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

Need help saving layer styles Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac (Mountain Lion)

I have been trying to learn Photoshop. I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). My Adobe software has been updated. I have been doing tutorials using a lot of layer styles. In one of these tutorials, it was suggested that if I would possibly want to use the style again that I should save it. At this point I had entered all my layer styles info and was still in the window with the list of layer styles on the left (bevel and emboss, drop shadow, etc., and the "New Style" button on the right. I clicked on the "New Style" button and when another window popped up asking me to name the style, I named it. When I looked at my styles in the styles panel, I saw the little button for the new style. I saved my graphic and closed it. Later I wanted to apply this style to text in another graphic. The style was used on text originally. When I clicked on it though the style didn't look the same. Upon investigation, a couple of setting under Bevel and Emboss had reverted to defaults. They were different numbers when I saved the style. I could go back in and change these two numbers and get the same results, but I don't understand why these numbers changed on their own -- why the style didn't completely "save." Is there something I have done wrong, or is this some kind of bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much for your reply! Yes, both documents were at 72 resolution. This morning I tried to save yet another style (same resolution document). It worked when I used it the first time. Then I switched to the other style I had saved. That one took some of the bevel and emboss settings from this morning's style. The numbers which will not save are the angle and altitude under the shading section. Just now I made another document (text at 72 resolution) and both styles had changed these numbers to 120 and 30. Is this something I am doing wrong? I am trying to use text of a similar font and size. I updated my software last night in the hopes that that would help. This morning I reset preferences. Don't know what to do! Thanks for helping me!

I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

Photoshop CS6 Extended Slow Load ("Measuring Memory...")

Hi guys!
Sorry English is not my native language.
I am run Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-bit (from design premium) on Windows 7, 64-bit with 8GB RAM.
When I first start PS, it looks like it freeze on the text "Measuring Memory". If I wait for about 30 seconds, it will eventually load and everything works fine. No issues with Save for Web or anything.
I have read the other threads on this and tried all of these solutions:
Checked my ram in memtest (15 passes, no error)
Trash preferences and open again
Un-install and re-install (tried twice)
Updated PS to latest with Adobe Update
Reboot machine
This happen when I first run Windows, so lack of RAM is not the issue. I have no printers, other hard drive, or remote network drive attached to machine. Scratched disk is set to the boot disk (C:\)
If it help, Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 load normally.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thank you!
Richard Montouchet

Congratulations on having such a huge amount of memory that it takes 30 seconds to measure it all! Just kidding - sorry.
You've done all the things a reasonable person would do... Some other things I might suggest are:
1. Check to ensure your display driver is up to date - go to the web site of the maker of your video card, not Microsoft.
2. Try disabling the Use Graphics Processor setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance, and restart Photoshop.
3. Remove any 3rd party plug-ins (reinstall won't remove plug-ins, so I thought I'd mention it).
4. Check to see if you have the same behavior with the 32 bit Photoshop as the 64 bit Photoshop.

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames?

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames? As in just one segment of the video? If so, how is it done?

Hi there
The Crop tool in Photoshop functions by cropping the entire image area - however, you can use a Layer Mask to edit an indiviual video or animation frame, as shown below.
1. Start by importing your video or animation in Photoshop, making sure to convert frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames To Layers...). Go to your layers panel and select the frame you'd like to crop. Turn on the visibility of the layer by clicking on the small check box to the left of the layer icon - it should turn into an eye as shown below. Then, click the "Add vector mask" icon highlighted below.
2. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (or use an alternative selection method if you want a different shape) and draw a seelction around the part of your video/animation you want to keep.
3. Go to Select > Inverse to select the inverse of the area you just selected.
4. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area with pure Black (#000000). This will effectively "crop" the layer you have selected. You can see below that the layer underneath my selected layer is now showing through where I filled the selection with black.
The great thing about using a mask is that you can edit it or delete it altogether if need be. Note though that the area you mask will show up as transparent pixels in your Timeline panel - you can see the layer I edited on the far right of my timeline in the screenshot above.
Please post again if you need additional help, or if what I demonstrated is not what you were trying to do.
Cheers!
