Photoshop save for web unknown error

Hi,
I am trying to save my .avi file to animated gif using photoshop save for web option, but i am getting a unknown save for web error. The .avi file is around 1.5 gb. tried to save the file with Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. My os is Windows 8.1 and i have 8 gb of RAM.
Other details:
Document size : 1800x1200
.avi Frame rate: 50 fps
Please help me

What are the pixel dimensions and the length of the spot?
Can you break up the clip into smaller elements?
I suspect you may be trying to use a file format that is not a good fit for the task.
Why do you want to use gif?

  • CS5 Photoshop - Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error

    Hi folks,
    I know similar threads exists, but this one is different. For some reason, out of the blue, I can't use 'Save for Web' anymore. When I choose 'save for web', it opens the preview dialog nicely, up until I save & get this error:
    "Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred."
    Cleared all my settings, and the error remains.
    I uninstalled PS CS5, installed it again... still get this error.
    Hope someone knows how to fix it!
    Tx!
    MacBookPro3,1, running all the latest updates (OSX 10.6.4), CS5 Master Collection.
    Luckily still have CS4 Master Collection installed (and Flash CS3).
    (I've just got to get this off my chest, CS5 has so much issues that I stopped using it, I'm not getting paid for playing crashtestdummie. Please don't rush any future CS collections and try fixing bugs instead. )

    Hi Wade,
    Tx, but 99% of my time, I work on my local system (scratch disk also). Already had problems working with the company's network (files get locked or corrupted while trying to save), so we've learned the hard way not to use the network.
    I guess that's somewhat expected if you work with a Mac, in a professional Windows environment.
    Meanwhile, I'm a step closer in finding a solution myself. A colleague gave me a great tip, if you create an extra user account on the system, you start with a clean library. On my second account, PS CS5 is working just fine. So clearly, something went wrong in my library. Maybe permissions like you've said. At this point, I could try to fix it by copying files from the one user to the other. But I would like to wait for that connect session so they can see what's wrong.

  • Export PDF as JPEG fails with Adobe Save for Web AI Error

    Hello,
    We have an Illustrator Javascript program to convert a PDF file to a JPEG.  It does some adjustments along the way, but I have boiled the script down so it just opens the PDF file, then uses the export method to export it to a JPEG file.  The problem is the JPEG conversion is failing.  When I run with user interaction layer set to DONTDISPLAYALERTS, as I normally do, it silently fails and continues; I do not get an exception, and the export method does not have another way to return an error.  When I do display alerts, I get a dialog box saying:
    Adobe Save for Web AI Error
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
    It looks like this:
    What's weird is if I open the same PDF file in Illustrator and select File / Export it works fine.  I do get this error though if I select File / Save for Web & Devices.  I'm not sure why the export method would do a Save for Web though.
    The code looks basically like this:
    // Set filename, docName, destFolder
    file = new File(filename);
    sourceDoc = app.open(file);
    var fileSpec = new File( destFolder + "/" + docName +"_LARGE");
    var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
    var type = ExportType.JPEG;
    app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type );
    For testing purposes, I have shortened the code so it is that, with the variable setting code above.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    ------Scott.

    I have not tested exporting without passing any options. You have however created a variable to an empty options object but not passed it.
    did you also try…
    app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

  • PSE6: Adobe Save For Web PSE Error

    I upgraded from XP to Vista the other day and now when attempting to use the Save For Web feature, PSE crashes and gives me this error.
    Adobe Save For Web PSE Error
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
    I uninstalled PSE completely and then reinstalled, but I still receive the same error. After it crashes, I have to open Task Manager just to end the process.

    Some people have reported a file-permissions problem with Save For Web.  Try running PSE as administrator (which on Vista is different than running in an administrator account).  Right-click the PSE icon on your desktop or in the Start menu and select Run As Administrator.
    Unfortunately, there is a long list of possible causes of your crashes, so if that doesn't work, try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Adobe Save for Web AI Error

    Hello everyone,
    in our company, we wrote an program to export *.ai files as *.jpg files automatically. Means it saves a copy via the Illustrator SDK (CS5).
    Now, we got a problem with some files: While exporting, there appears an error message called "Adobe Save for Web AI Error" and, obviously, it stops the export.
    I don't use an function called "Save for Web" and other people don't have the problem with our program.
    Does anyone know why this message box is shown although we don't use this function?
    Thank you in advance!
    Regards from Germany
    Fabian Bauer

    All I can think of is that you're using some of the APIs that are associated with the "Save for Web" functionality and someone at Adobe put in a crappy error message (probably one they assumed would never been seen outside of "Save for Web"!).
    Do you know what line of code is throwing the error?

  • Cannot save for web - unknown system error Photoshop CS5

    I've attached the error I recieve here: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5624/screenshot20101027at122.png
    What happens is I create any new document, and when I try to save for web it comes up with "unknown system error has occurred'. Prior to this it worked perfectly (pretty much just 2 hours ago)! Also, my Photoshop CS4 stil works properly. I've been searching for solutions but nothing has come up in regards to this particular error.
    I'm running the CS5 Extended edition suite, on 10.6.4 if this helps.

    Hi,
    Could you please send your system info to me([email protected]) to have a look?

    Hi Braydon900,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    1. Quit Photoshop
    2. Delete the "Adobe Save For Web 12.0 Prefs" file:

  • CS5.5 Photoshop Save For Web Error - "cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open"

    I have just started getting this error when I try to "Save for web". I can still do File > Save As... with no problem. Does anybody know what might be causing this?

    Hi jonesri,
    I think you can try to use SSAS Dynamic Management View to monitor SSAS instance, such as existing connections and sessions. For example, please run the following MDX query:

    [SESSION_LAST_COMMAND],
    [SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_CPU_TIME_MS],
    [SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_ELAPSED_TIME_MS],
    [SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_END_TIME],
    [SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_START_TIME],
    [SESSION_PROPERTIES],[SESSION_READ_KB],

  • Version 2014.1.0 - save for web returns error: the system cannot find the path specified. Help?

    I'm on PC (yah, yah, I know)
    When I click "save for web" I get the following error:
    The operation could not be completed.
    The system cannot find the path specified.
    I thought I could repair Photoshop, but the 2014 version doesn't seem to have that option in the control panel's Programs and Features - only uninstall. The Cloud doesn't seem to have a "reinstall" option that I can see.I'd hate to have to redownload the whole thing and start over, but I suppose I may have to.
    Any ideas?

  • Another save for web devices error - File already exists?

    I've been using the same Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 for about a year now, and only now this problem occurs to me.
    Whenever I try to preview gifs in any browser (tried a few), I get the error message "Could not complete this operation. A file by this name already exists."
    Tried renaming the files, replacing them, creating new ones, tried to enter preview on old files that previously worked, but always get the same error message.
    I did some research and tried deleting both the main Save for Web and Devices pref file, and the other so called "hidden one" in the plugins folder. I've tried reinstalling photoshop from scratch. Nothing works.
    Please help me. I'm near desperate :/

    Ah, sorry, now I see what you're doing.
    I haven't had the issue myself, but I can guess that one or more of the temporary files it needs to create in order to show them in your browser must be failing in creation.  Check the permissions on the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable - you should have Full Control of your TEMP area..
    Specifically, it creates a "Save for Web" subfolder there.  You might be able to delete that entirely in order to start afresh.
    Just to test, I've opened Photoshop CS4, entered Save for Web & Devices, and pressed the Preview button myself and it worked okay here...  Your TEMP area is likely different than mine.

  • Blurry smart objects in Photoshop Save for Web jpegs

    I create graphs, etc in Illustrator, place them as Smart Objects in a master Photoshop file before outputing Save for Web jpegs to use as PowerPoint slide backgrounds. Everything created in Illustrator or Photoshop through that process (Quality 80 or 100 with any of the SfW options on or off) Save for Webs are blurry when imported (at 100%) into PowerPoint. The only way I have been able to get anything crisp in PowerPoint was saving a Photoshop pdf. However, that was only the text created in Photoshop. The Illustrator Smart Object part was still blurry. Anyone have any idea on the best process to combine Photoshop and Illustrator files into one file for import into PowerPoint as a clean, crisp background? At this point I am open to all suggestions.

    There are parts that are being added in Photoshop, hence going from Illustrator through Photoshop as a Smart Object and then onto PowerPoint. If I wasn't 5 months down the line and just nearing deadline, I would recreate everything in Illustrator. Assuming that I have to continue at this point down the Illustrator through Photoshop line of working, how do you designate pngs or jpegs to be 220ppi. Jpegs have a 1-12 quality (and 12 is still blurry).
    Note regarding PowerPoint, I embed the full-page image into the background so others that are using this can't move (by accident or on purpose) the background.

  • Save for Web causes error in PSE7

    Hi, When I click on Save for Web I get the error message shown below. I have PSE7 and windows 7. I've tried the usual things like deleting the settings file. I have also re-installed the application, however I used the control panel uninstall and then just reinstalled, should I have deleted left over folders etc and may be registry entries. I have also tried the compatibility options in windows 7. No luck!
    Has anyone come across this before, any advice would be well received.
    Thanks   

    Please try allocation more RAM and disk space to PSE. Might be some issue with the same. This kb article should help you there http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/856/cpsid_85658.html
    Not sure but try with admin user also if logged in user on your machine is not admin.
    Also try deleting the preferences file for Save for Web and relaunch PSE C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Save For Web PSE
    Let me know your comments.

  • Adobe Save for Web and Devices Error

    I had a problem with Save for Web and Devices in Photoshop CS4 - and am posting the solution for anyone else that might encounter this (posted previously for Mac but not Windows). This problem suddenly occurred - and I'm not sure why. I had the most updated Photoshop CS4 version: 11.0.2.
    Issue: When I tried to overwrite an existing image using Save for Web and Devices, I received an "Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error": "Could not write the file. A file system error has occurred"
    This error prevented any file (originally created using Save for Web &Devices) from being saved again with the same name. I figured out the solution by finding the resolution for Mac Photoshop and adapting it for the PC version. The solution for me was to delete the following files:  "Default Settings.iros" and "Recently Used Optimizations.irs" (the only two files present) in the following directory:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user profile name]\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\en_US\Save for Web Settings\
    Note that there were other sub-directories of the "Save for Web Settings" folder - I didn't touch any of those. The problem is now resolved and Photoshop seems to function normally.

    Honestly, I haven't had problems with reading/writing files to/from network drives, but I have read on this forum that there are times when it causes problems for people.
    And yes, if you used the command line NET USE (or the Explorer Map Network Drive) function to create the drive, it is actually using Windows Networking behind the scenes.

  • Photoshop CS4 corrupt save for web plugin

    Hi
    I've been having problems with my save for web function freezing, so I deleted my preferrences , settings, accidently deleted my save for web plugin. The save for web then greyed out if I tired to save for web any type of document. I moved my save for web plugin from my trash back into the plugin folder. Photoshop save for web was still greyed out. I then restarted my computer and the save for web is still greyed out.
    Any sugessions on what I can do to activate "save for web" again would be much appreciated.
    I  think it's the plugin that's corrupt, I can't find the photoshop cd to  reinstall it.
    Has anyone got the MAC CS4 Photoshop "save for web plugin"  (Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web  CS4/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS4 Prefs) that they could send me.
    This is my CS4 Plugin (it was like this before I accidently deleted it), my collegue's cs4 plugin doesn't look anything like this and doesn't work for me either):
    Thanks very much
    Abi

    Sorry I meant my collegue's cs5 plugin.
    I've read  quite a few posts on this subject and other people have got their friend  to send them their plugin and they've inserted it onto their computer  and it fixed the problem. But I don't know anyone who has photoshop cs4  on a mac.
    This is my cs4 plugin
    This is my collegues cs5 save for web plugin
    Thanks

  • RGB Colour change after save for web.

    I recently had a folder full of images that I cut out and placed on a grey #e9e9e9 background, after using adobe photoshops Save for web feature, I saved them as 356 colour gif files. However when Ive uploaded them to the web I notice the grey #e9e9e9 was ever so slighty different. when I reopened the images in .gif files in photoshop, the grey background was no longer #e9e9e9 but #eaeaea. Im slighty confused as to why this has happened, and is there anyway of correcting this?

    It depends on the mode:
    Perceptual
    Selective
    Adaptive
    In my tests Selective preserves larger gray
    areas e9e9e9 (233 233 233). I think there is no
    guarantee, except for web-safe colors (which are
    otherwise quite useless nowadays).
    Please read the help text
    Optimization options for GIF and PNG8 formats.
