Problems importing 3D layers from Photoshop

Hi, I am a public school teacher in Australia and we have a site licence for the Adobe Master Collection CS4 at school. I am having some problems importing 3D layers into After Effects from Photoshop.
Firstly, I have a computer in my office with exactly the same software, installed from the same source as the computers in my class room. They are all running Google SketchUp 8, Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4.
In my office I am able to export a 3D model from SketchUp using the KMZ format and open it using Photoshop. I can then save the file as a PSD file. I can't attach the file here as it is just over 2mb. When I import it into After Effects using the Photoshop Live 3D option I can rotate the model as normal and the elements appear as shown below.
When I try the exact same exercise in my class room (where the computers are all running exactly the same versions of Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4) the model is imported as a 2D image with no ability to rotate or interact with the model. It appears that the camera and controller layers are missing from the timeline as well as the Solids folder from the Project pane as shown below.
I have been trying to figure out the difference for most of the day today and so far I cannot find any reason for this to occur, neither can I find anyone with a similar problem who has solved it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mr Merrick

PS Live 3D requires hardware acceleration to work properly, that is in terms of OpenGL support being available in Photoshop on the machines in question. If that's not the case, the importer component won't function either as it uses the same routines.

How do I import several layers from one Illustrator file into another Illustrator file?

Hi!
I have ten Illustrator documents with appr. 100 layers in each document.
Each layer in all documents are named correctly for automatic script exporting to PNG files.
Now I want to import all layers from all ten documents into one master file. And importantly, I want to keep the exact names of each layer.
Thank you for any help on this!

Layers Palette flyout >> Paste remebers layers (Enable)
Now when you paste the layer names will come over.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

Problem importing into FCPX from SD card

Hi, I'm having a problem importing some videos from a micro SD card into FCPX. It is some helmet camera footage shot at 720P @ 30fps. It's a .mov file.
My problem is when I go to the "import media" window, I can see the files on the import screen. I can also skim and play the files before they are imported. The first time I tried to import them, I got an error message (which I unfortunately didn't write down). After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I could still see the file thumbnail, but if I hovered my mouse over it, the thumbnail turned black. I then restarted FCPX, and tried again. I found that I could still see, skim, and play the file, but when I choose to "import selected" the little pie shaped downloading icon doesn't appear anymore and the file doesn't attempt to import.
Should I go to Disk Utility and do a "Verfiy Disk" and "Repair Disk" (if necessary) or might I permanantly delete the corrupted file if I "fix" it by repairing the disk?
I have a screenshot of the import screen if needed, but the resolution is terrible. I'll need to take another one if it would be beneficial to see it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Glen

A screen shot would be good..
If you have mulltple files and you know which one is a problem, select just the others and import them.
Try copying the entire card to your HD and seeing whether it will import from your computer.

If you are talking about photoshop.com, anyone who tries will get that error because there is no more photoshop.com. You should have received a bunch of emails about any photos there getting moved to Revel, but you can't use Revel from within the versions of PSE that had photoshop.com:

Importing an image from photoshop into FCP7

Hello
I have some images in photoshop that I need to bring into FCP7...I need them to look transparent so the image (video) can be seen. The images are coffee stains .I need to know how I import them. Any help would be great. I have imported images before but I think these have to be on layers to get the transparent look.The images are in layers? Do I import the layers?
Question 2.
I have a plugin and need to import it into my filters in FCP7..I know this should be easy but could someone help with that also...
Question 3.
Does anybody have any advice about Luca visual effects?
thank you
philip

If you want transparency, make an Alpha channel or put the objects on a transparent background in Photoshop. You must save the images in a format that supports transparency such as TIFF.
You import them by clicking the Import Files button or simply drag onto the FCP Browser from the Finder.
2. A regular plug in or an FXPlug plugin?
3. No. Why not use the Contact link on his website and ask the man himself? http://www.lucavisualfx.com/contact.htm

Importing a logo from photoshop in FC

I can't seem to get a logo that came from photoshop to look correct in FC.
I would like to use it like a bug in the lower right corner. I have tried importing several different ways. It either has a white background that I can't get rid of or looks transparent but looks bad, unreadable.
What is proper way to do this so it it is just my logo over top of the video. Think of network bugs in the corners of the frame.
Help

I used it as a jpeg, a psd and I think a tiff and it did not have any background.
When I dropped it into the canvas and onto the timeline it was really distorted. It didn't have a background but it didn't look right. The ones that did have a background looked alright, but had the unwanted background.
It did not have any other layers but it did have some layer styles. Drop shadow and something else I can't remember right now. I did render it too, no help.
Any thoughts?

Dragging Layers from Photoshop

I've been LiveTracing a lot of things in illustrator lately, from layers that i prepare in photoshop cs4. for some reason, when i try to drag a layer from PS cs4 into illustrator cs4, nothing happens. this was working yesterday... don't know that i did anything new that might have affected the drag and drop-ness

I am not certain this is the problem but rather a problem of the limitation of the clip board size you can export from Photoshop.
Here try this make certain your document is the same color mode I did this in RGB, using the marquis tool I then made a selection of the background layer that was significantly smaller than the overall image and the copy and paste creating a new layer. I select the layer in the layers panel but drag the
the content of the layer from the document window in Illustrator and that worked.
Try to drag the full size background layer or a duplicate of that layer yields no results. So I think you are trying to drag a ayer that is simply too big.

Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
"Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem...
and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
"Import Error"
Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

Importing layer groups from photoshop to flash cs4

Hi everyone,
I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Appreciate any help.

Harry Kunz wrote:
Then why not flatten it (BUT not save it) and import it into flash THEN revert the photoshop file (CTRL+Z) so it will still be editable version?
Yeah I know that's an option but I just thought there might be a quicker way, but maybe not.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Problems importing AVCHD clips from Panasonic GF1

I'm having problems importing clips from my new Panasonic Gf1. FCE (4.0.1) sees the device ok, and selecting and previewing the clips in the log and transfer window works fine, but once the clips are in FCE (converted to AIC) they play fast in the viewer or when placed in the sequence. Strange, because they play fine in the preview window before importing. Tried this in iMovie 08 and get the same effect.
I'm can convert them Toast to AIC and they work fine when imported to FCE but this is not my preferred workflow.

I tried using Toast Titanium 10 for conversion as suggested but there was a slight issue with synch of video and audio. So I downloaded and bought Voltaic HD as suggested elsewhere and the AVCHD files of the Panasonic GF-1 are now playing in Final Cut Express 4 without issues - I am editing with no problem. Given that I can use the Log&Transfer Window (Final Cut 4) for my Olympus EP1 and my Panasonic HD video cam, it's odd that the files of the Panasonic GF-1 don't work in Final Cut (yet), but at least I am back editing. Voltaic HD was $35, a doable expense.... it does work flawless (so far).

How to use layers from photoshop in final cut?

I am googling, but not coming up with much updated info. I would like to use layers from a Photoshop stills file within Final Cut. Any good tutorial videos out there?

may I use keyframes etcetera and eventually animate separate layers?
Ummmm .... yeah. That's the whole point of being able to open the PSD in its own Sequence. Each layer will be on a separate track so you can manipulate each layer individually. Wait ... I've said that already.

Problem Printing onto CDs from Photoshop CS5 - Canon MG6150 printer

I cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere!! I have a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer and have designed a CD/DVD label using Photoshop CS5. The proportions are all correct, when printed on paper from within Photoshop I can cut out the label and it fits my printable media perfectly.
The problem is printing directly onto the CD or DVD using the printer's CD print tray. I cannot get the alignement correct -- the label will only print halfway off the media or more, so only a small section of my label appears on the CD. I have tried various settings from within Photoshop's print options and none work.
How can I get my label design to print onto the DVD or CD? Any help is HUGELY appreciated.
I am running Mac OSX 10.6.5.

I was testing other Imacs running the same photoshop CS5.1 with the new printer drivers from canon and it prints. They are running OSX10.6.8. My new computer is running 10.9.2 and it will not print from photoshop. Is the driver not compatible with the operating system? Is there something to try other than saying the driver is at fault. Do I complain to Canon to update their driver to work? What is a work around?
Thanks,
