Photoshop won't let me convert video frames to layers

I'm trying to make gifs, and I was able to do this last night. Photoshop was converting the video frames to layers just fine. However, I think I might have accidentally done something to photoshop because right after, I could convert my video frames to layers anymore. The video clips were all screen recording from quicktime, by the way. I waited until the next day and decided to see if it would work (it didn't). So then I did a software update, thinking that maybe quicktime needed to update. But that didn't work either. When I force quit photoshop and re-open it, it "converts" the video frames to layer, but only one frame actually appears and the rest are blank. When I delete that and try to re-convert the video frames to layers, this pops up:
I tried converting the video to an mp4, and the above message still popped up. How do I fix this back to the way it was when it was working!?

Where is reset motion what was going on that made you want to click on reset motion.  What did you use to identify a video file to Photoshop to do something to it? We can not help if you can not describe what you did. What Photoshop step is that pop-up message the end result of?

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended won't let me import video frames to layers?

    I've been searching for an answer for a while now, and I still can't seem to make this work. I'm trying to make gifs. I'm using a Mac and I've already switched my CS5 to a 32-bit version, but the video is greyed out even though it's an mp4 and won't let me import the video.
    I've looked through some tutorials, and everything should work. I'm have Quicktime version 10.2, so that should be the latest version?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. CS 5.5. Switched to 32bit. Frames are greyed out in the open dialog.

  • Photoshop CS4 has stopped working--importing video frames to layers

    Whenever I get the part of the video selected that I want and hit okay I get a message saying:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working"
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
       Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools. 
    Click View and print details. 
    In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.) 

  • DynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.

    I am trying to load a video into photoshop cc (trial) via File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. It has worked in the past, but for some reason has seemed to have stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, and I've shut down my computer and rebooted it multiple times. I have also looked into the other questions listing "dynamiclink media server" as a problem and have tried to figure out what is wrong, or how to fix it. I have not been able to understand what I should do, so I was hoping someone would know how to help me.
    I have a macbook pro, which is about 2 years old. That's all they've told me to list, so thank you if you're able to help!!!

    I am also following this discussion Re: trying to import video"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    but non of the solutions under the post #4, #17 either did not work or applied to me, because they were suggested for a Windows user.
    Other notes:
    Bridge is not working at all. It launches, but crashes as soon as you see the workspace.
    Hence, Mini Bridge in Photoshop is also crashing.
    I do have all codecs for the videos, that I was trying to open, though.
    It cannot be an issue, that I have not enough RAM.
    After several other problems with After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, which remain partly unsolved, this post starts form a fresh installation of the whole Adobe Suite. Even used the Cloud Cleaner Tool beforehand and made sure, all presets are from this CS6 version only.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when importing video frames to layers.

    This is perhaps not the correct place to post this, but I am new to the forums, as you can see.
    I saw that there was a post about this sometime last year, and I tried all the methods offered to fix the problem, but none helped.
    Each time I make an attempt to import video frames to layers, I get as far as the "select range to import" screen, and then when I select the range and click ok, it says "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." And then it closes.
    My operating system is Windows XP, the photoshop type I use is CS3 as I mentioned before, and I have installed Quicktime 7.3.5.
    I checked one of the files I tried to use with the Mediainfo program as suggested, and got the following:
    Format: MPEG-4
    Format profile: Quicktime
    Codec ID: qt
    File size: 176 MiB
    Duration: 18mn 33s
    Overall bit rate: 1 327 Kbps
    Writing application: Lavf53.24.2
    Hopefully this is enough information for someone out there to help me, because I haven't the slightest idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance.

    Convert the file in ffmpeg/ MPEGStreamclip or another tool or export it from Quicktime Pro using anotehr CoDec. PS just sucks at dealing with these compressed files and using such an old version doesn't help with contemporary digital video from a camera...

  • Error Importing Video Frames to Layers in Photoshop CC

    I'm trying to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CC, the most recent edition. I'm using a Mac OS X Maverick version 10.9.2.
    The video I'm working with is a .mov file with the following codecs: Timecode, Linear PCM, CEA 708, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
    When I import frames to layers, the window is black. *Note: The audio works here, picture does not appear.
    When I select OK, the layers are transparent.
    This issue is specific to Photoshop CC. I tested the same .mov file with the same codecs in the most recent edition of Photoshop CS6, and import video frames to layers worked successfully.
    I also tested the same .mov file using another user's computer and their edition of Photoshop CC, and experienced the same issue - black screen, transparent frames.
    This leads me to believe it is an issue specific to the Photoshop CC software.
    Is there a fix for this, or do you have recommendations on ways to convert the .mov file so it's viewable in Photoshop CC?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Importing video frames to layers - Photoshop doesn't support it on my version of Windows??

    Ok I really need help - my laptop hard drive died yesterday and I had to get a new one. I've just booted up Photoshop on my new hard drive and it's saying it doesn't support importing video frames to layers on this version of Windows. It's Windows 7 - the same version I had yesterday (as far as I know). Does anyone know how to fix this?? I don't want to pay for someting I can't even use!!

  • I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

    I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

    How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
    Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

  • Acrobat/adobe won't let me convert files

    It keeps telling me I have to buy the program.  I pay for the Cloud on a monthly subscription and I really need to get this file converted so I can make changes for a meeting tomorrow!

    I am logged in and am registered.  It will simply not let me convert most PDF's to word, whether I open it with adobe, acrobat or pro 11.  When I download documents from the school library, I can convert them, anything else I can't.  And I really need to.  What else can I try?

  • Photoshop Video Frames to Layers Cripples Premiere

    Hey folks,
    I've been using Premiere and AE with dynamic link for some time now to make my videos. Up until this past week, the playback of Linked Comps from AE in Premiere was buttery smooth. I could playback on my Mac 2013 Retina (With CS6) at full quality without stuttering. Rendering was also extremely quick even when linked comps had lots of effects applied to them.
    Fast forward to last week, and now when playing back Linked Comps from AE in Premiere, they stutter and skip frames in Premiere's source window and take forever to render in the Timeline.
    I tried speaking to Adobe for hours to try to solve the problem to no avail, until I realized...up until just last week, I had never before used Photoshop's File>Import>Video Frames to Layers to create animated gifs from my exported videos.
    I am no convinced that Photoshop is somehow at fault in causing this dramatic loss of performance between AE and Premiere. This is a serious bug. I hope it can be fixed somehow!
