Photoshop layers wont import individually into After Effects even after I select Composition

I have tried importing the .PSD file as a composition but I still don't get the individual layers. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Bridge not importing files into After Effects

    From AE I go to File > Browse in Bridge...
    Bridge opens up and I find the file I want.  If I double click the file, an AI for instance, it opens the file within Illustrator.  I could find, double click it, and it opens in Photoshop.
    I feel as though I'm missing how to import files into After Effects by using bridge.
    I'm running CC 2014 on a Win 7 machine.

    Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

  • Photoshop Layers not importing

    Hi,
    I've had this work in the past, a few months ago, but with a new project and a new file I'm not getting any layers to show through in DVDSP 4.1.2. In the info box, it says that the file is importing as a 'QuickTime Picture' and 'Layers: 0'. In reality it is a Photoshop layered file, 720 x 480. I even tried simplifying it and only have 4 layers in it, but still no go. I'm using CS3.
    Any ideas? Old photoshop files import with layers...
    Message was edited by: Michael Conti

    The issue for me was bit depth. DVD Studio Pro only uses 8 bit images. The PSD's I was creating were 16bit. This caused DVDSP to ignore the layers and only display the composite.
    Photoshop has added full 16 bit support in recent years so you might not notice that you are working on a 16-bit image.

  • Problem importing .vpe into After Effects CC 2014

    I am having Issues importing .vpe files exported from Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.1.0 - most recent update to date) into After Effects CC 2014 (13.0.2.3 - latest update to date) on Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.4. After a (lengthy) couple of chats to Adobe customer support I was advised to update both programs to fix my original issue outlined in this thread VPE issue and this has half way fixed my issues (The export from Photoshop now works properly).
    The problem I have now is that when importing the .vpe file to After Effects I get an error:
    "Unable to execute script at line 107. Function newLayer.transform[sel].setValue is undefined".
    The process creates a composition and a folder which is meant to contain the .png's. Inside the composition, the one imported .png is present, but no parent or camera layers.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the bug present on Windows? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in the update forthcoming? It isn't listed as one of the stand out bug fixes.
    Thanks
    Simon

    To be honest, its been so long that i'd actually forgotten whether the issue was fixed, just went through the process here to check...
    That'll be a no then, thanks Adobe.
    We're getting kinda tired of the Beta nature of the CC suite here in my department at work. Our internet speeds are currently not great and so having to download so many updates is a bit of an issue. Is there any other way to download updates remotely? That is to say on a different machine than the install of After Effects? Could I perhaps download update files at home, put them on a USB drive and bring them in?

  • Really my question is about after effects, which then renders to a quick time movie.  I have imported music into after effects many times, and all of a sudden after import and playing it under ram preview, it stops about 4/5 through the work.

    when I import a song into after effects it only plays 4/5 and then stops.  I'm viewing it in RAM preview.
    the composition time is fine.
    can you help me???

  • Importing video into After effects, premiere pro and media encoder result in freezing

    I have been trying to import a 17 minute long mp4 video shot with a go-pro into after effects and premiere pro with the result of the program locking up each time. My next thought was try to import it into media encoder and change the file format but it is causing media encoder to lock up as well. Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated

    Sounds like something might be fishy with the video file.  You might try converting with different software, which can often be more forgiving than Adobe tools.

  • Imported song into After Effects CS6 and won't fully render.

    I imported a song into After Effects CS6 to use audio waveforms. I click RAM preview but it won't render or play past 18 seconds. What am I doing wrong and how do I render the entire audio track so it will actually play all the way through with the effects on it.

    Ram preview length is determined by the amount of available ram. It is also usually limited to the work area. Either lower the resolution of the comp window or extend the work area.
    Please read the FAQ section at the top of the forum. You'll have your answer there.

  • Random sync problems importing aaf into After Effects from Avid

    The source footage is 23.98 H.264. The Avid is importing DNX36 and editing in a 23.98 timeline. When the AAF is brought into After Effects the clips are all there but the sync drifts and in some cases is randomly more out of sync than other clips.

    Thanks Rick and Mylenium
    Thanks that worked!
    I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
    Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
    I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
    Its a shame AE doesn't  pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
    I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
    Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
    Cheers

  • Photoshop Layers unexpectedly and individually becoming distorted in FCP7

    I've got a PSD file I am importing into a timeline in FCP 7. I open up the PSD file, copy the layers, and paste it into the standard DV timeline. Once the layers are pasted into the timeline, they become totally messed up. Some layers are completely different sizes than other layers. It's very irritating. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Go to user preferences and switch off the automatically resize to fit sequence, or some such thing.

  • Video not importing correctly into After Effects CS5

    I just downloaded a trial version of After Effects CS5 to work on a couple corporate videos, but I'm having issues importing the footage (.WMV). When I try to import, I get a message saying that there is an unnamed alpha layer (with a few options on how to fix the alpha layer). Regardless of the option I choose, only the bottom half of my footage imports. It looks like this.
    How can I fix this?

    Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

  • How to import mp4 into after effects cs4

    I recently got a gopro hero 3 and wanted to slow a 960p 50fps video down in AE but i cannot open it. it just keeps saying it's of an unsopported format. How do I fix this?

    Interesting. Did not know CS4 could run at all on Windows 8.
    I maintain my previous answer. It has always ever been that codecs using interframe compression schemes didn't play nice with CS4 and previous versions. Transcode your footage to something else. Quicktime with the PNG codec would be one choice, I've not tried the Cineform codec (free from GoPro) with CS4, but it's worth a shot.

  • Photoshop CS4 wont work unless Vista Visual effects are turned off.

    Hey guys, having a problem with PS CS4 here.
    Okay normally when I load photoshop after anywhere from a couple minutes to half an hour it starts to kind crash, all the graphics go crazy, and noise is everywhere, and its imprinting on other windows including my desktop and task bar, every time it ends with me having to restart my computer.
    However I have figured out how to fix it, if I turn off the visual effects in vista, it doesn't do it anymore, however its annoying without the visual effects, so I'm trying to work out how to fix it, again.
    And yes it sounds like a graphic driver problem to me, but I've made sure it was updated and also went through all the common bug fixes in PS CS4, could my computer not be graphically powerful enough to run it?
    Thanks for all the help!

    One thing I found useful with CS4 at one point in the past was to dial back the OpenGL advanced options to "Basic".
    The real problem, if not hardware failure, is likely graphics drivers.  Most folks think latest is greatest, but the graphics driver writers to this day are still struggling to get the incredibly complex OpenGL implementations to work properly.
    If your graphics card is not quite current (e.g., a few years old or less) the driver writers do less and less work to keep the software up for it - makes sense, their company is no longer making any money by selling cards that have gone obsolete; they're working more on the software for the latest new model.

    first i would run windows update and make sure everything is up to date. make sure you have the latest version of itunes/quicktime, if so go ahead and reinstall itunes again. if it still doesnt work try a different program to importing the music to your computer (like windows media player, make sure its importing the songs as mp3's, you can find that under the options menu) once thats done then got to itunes and select file<add folder to library then search around where WMP imported the songs

    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
