Premiere Pro CS6 won't recognize alpha channel in .tiff file from photoshop

Hey Everyone,
    I'm new to Premiere Pro, but I have used Final Cut Pro 6-7. Anyway, I created a 3D text design in Photoshop to use on top of another photo in a video in Premiere. In Photoshop, the alpha channel appears fine. In Premiere Pro it is not recognized. Instead, a white background appears where the alpha channel should be. When I layered the 3D text on top of a photo (in Premiere Pro), the white still appears around the 3D text design. After I imported the file, I did click on the .tiff file and clicked on modify---->interpret footage----->alpha channel (where I deselected ignore alpha channel). Premiere Pro still does not recognize the alpha channel. Should I convert the Photoshop file to another format or is there something I'm not doing? I'm spending more time trying to figure this out than I am on putting this short video/photo slide show together. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks Ann!!! Seriously, you just saved me hours of aggravation. I didn't know I had to select that in Photoshop. I was under the impression that Adobe product files were seamless.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open at all

    Premeire Pro CS6 won't open at all. It locks up when it says "Loading QuickLooks_AE10.plugin" and the entire program doesn't respond at all. I think I just did the latest Creative Cloud update for the Premiere CS6 family. How can I get it working again? I have so many videos to edit! Thanks!

  • Premiere pro cs6 won't load AVCHD video files

    why won't premiere pro cs6 load video files?
    Premiere pro application loads but won't load HD video files.

    What codec packs do you have loaded?  With a straight installation I have had any problems loading my Sony AVCHD 1920 x 1080 files in any version of Premiere.  What is your source of your media?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open...

    I have the Adobe Creative Cloud, and I installed Premiere Pro CS6 Family. I was able to open it once, but now that I have tried launching it recently, it comes up with an error message saying "This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". What exactly does that mean?

    It means that the Microsoft Visual C++ Resource library got corrupted. Reinstalling can help, because that is the first step of the installlation process. The alternative is to go to the Microsoft site and download the latest C++ libraries and install them manually.

  • Trial premiere pro cs6 won't run anymore

    Hello, I downloaded a trial for premiere pro cs6 yesterday and it worked great. But today, it wouldn't run anymore. I got the message that the program 'could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again'. I totaly didn't get it, but i restarted my laptop and then it worked. But an hour later, after closing the program, i wanted to open it again and i got the same message. This time, it didn't run after restarting.
    Can someone please tell me what to do? How do i 'update my video display drivers'...? And how come i have to do this all of a sudden? I have a brand new laptop and i worked with premiere pro cs5 before.

    >How do i 'update my video display drivers'...?
    You go to the vendor web site (nVidia or ATI or ???) and check updates for your brand/model

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't load audio volume.

    When I open my project I get this:
    Then, none of the volume adjustments work on the timeline.
    Everything you need to know:
    Mac OSX Snow Leopard
    Premiere Pro CS6 (Production Premium)
    Project imported from FCP7 XML, although I have removed all effects etc from that import.  All filters and adjustements have been made in premiere.
    I've copied all the clips into a new timeline, restarted premiere, rebooted, don't know what else to do.
    Please help?

    For the record I'm having this same problem.  Scary, since I made a bunch of audio edits and lost that work.
    Definitely smells like a bug.  I'm using Xto7 to convert a sequence from FCP X to an XML file CS6 can read; I'm having to run both FCP X and Premiere simultaneously, since Xto7 didn't really do a good job.  The problem occured when I switched back and forth between the two, and tried to relink an offline file in my Premiere project (where I am reassembling the sequence).  Suddenly the sound would not play.  I quit and restarted, and got the error above.  Ugh.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't capture HDR-HC3 properly

    In HDV capture mode it wants to assign an mp3 extension.
    Doesn't capture in native M2t format.
    Tried reinstalling. Haven't had this problem with previous versions.
    ver. 6.01

    I've used numerous programs over the years so on the off chance I'm mistaken about whether Premiere Pro captures Sony HDV in m2t or mpeg, I'll take your word for it. However, you're not addressing the real problem which is that it won't capture my Sony HDR HC3 video, period, in any format. It wants to create a file with an mp3 extension and won't import the files it captures even if the extension has been changed to m2t, mpg, or mpeg. I may not be sure about the extension previous versions have captured in, but I'm 100% certain that it did capture it.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't play imported files even after changing format, etc?

    Camera: Canon Legria HFM41
    Video file format: MTS (1920 x 1080)
    For the past few days I've been trying to understand why my video files won't play in Premiere, I'll import them, and when I press play the audio will work, but the video will play smoothly for only a few seconds then stop, skipping frames/slowing the speed of the video - I've read a lot of these forums on similar issues, then I tried converting the format to avi/mp4 and they still won't play smoothly when importing to Premiere Pro.. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong/how to solve this.. Thank you!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't open (nor will After Effects)

    I'm using a Mac, and this morning my system needed to run two updates.  The first was an update for OS X to 10.9.2.  It's focus was on improvement to stability, compatibility, and security.  The second was a CUDA driver update to 5.5.47.  After both of the updates, neither Premiere CS6 or After Effects will open.  They get stuck on the loading graphic with the spinning "beachball".  I have to force quit both programs.  What's weird is that the CUDA update in my system preferences states that "No newer CUDA Driver available" yet below that in red it says that an update is required.  This has been extremely frustrating all day long.  I've tried all of the following:
    Uninstalling both programs and reinstalling
    Restarting the computer after each step
    Updating the programs usnig the adobe application manager
    Launching both from the program icon as well as a project file
    I'm guessing this is primarily to do with the CUDA driver situation.  I'm not sure how to fix this..

    Hi MPeevy,
    Please go to below mention location on your MAC and delete the referenced file from it and then try to launch the program.
    MACINTOSH HD or “Startup drive/Library/Frameworks” and delete “CUDA.Framework”

  • Slightly distorted aspect-ratio (and missing alpha channel) when copy/paste from Photoshop

    Maybe this is an old topic (but I didn't find anything on google or this forum):
    When I copy images from Photoshop to Flash, the aspect ratio of the bitmap gets distorted. A 728x90 Bitmap becomes 727.6x90 (and so on...). The dpi is set on exactly 72 on both programs. Is there any way to JUST get a 1:1 pixel copy? (except using another program like Irfanview as a "man-in-the-middle")
    Although I selected "32 bit color w/alpha" in the clipboard settings of Flash, the alpha channel seems to get discarded when copying from Photoshop. Shouldn't it at least work with Photoshop? I mean, it's an Adobe product after all and maybe the most commonly used together with Flash.
    Would just be nice if a copy-paste between PS and FL was an easier thing.
    I know there can also be a pixel-aspect somewhere (like used for video productions and wide-screen), but I didn't find settings for that anywhere.
    I still use Flash Professional CS5.0

    I'm on windows7 with CS5.5 and transparency and size are copied over just fine. You answered what would be my first question, 72dpi. How about the image mode. Are you using RGB 8bit?
    I've had lots of issues with the OS not handling transparency very well also, such right-click on an image on a website that you know is a PNG and has transparency, then paste it into photoshop, the transparency isn't saved.
    The route that always works (but is a PITA) is of course to save it as a PNG with transparency and just import it.

  • Premiere pro cs6 won't play

    My Premiere cs6 will not play the time line. I hit space bar and also used the play button pin the Program side and it changes to a square (stop)symbol but the playhead doesn't move. I can get the symbol to change back when I move the playhead with my mouse.

    Hi,
    I suspect something is wrong with the Audio Hardware settings. Do you remember connecting any other audio device to the computer? (Such as headphones or something else)
    If not, try to reset the preferences for Premiere and see if that helps

  • Media Encoder CS6 won't uprez alpha channels

    I have been trying to convert some files i created in both animation codec and AVID codec with alpha from 720p to 1080i/p but if i have the alpha set to rende, it creates a file with the video blown out and edges aliased. Same files if i turn the alpha off render (uprez) perfectly. these can be a lot of files, so i'm trying to run them all thru Media Encoder instead of tieing up AfterEffects. Any clues?
    PS i am using the dynamic link functionality to render these movies
    thx

    > Adobe tools aren't the best option for upscaling.
    Huh?
    If you can find something better than After Effects CC (12.2) with the Detail-Preserving Upscale effect for up-saling, I want to know what it is.
