.PSD being brought in as "QuickTime Picture"

I exported a layered .PSD file from Photoshop CS and CS2 and when I import them into the assets they are called "QuickTime Picture" under the type column.
I need to have access to the layers, because the .PSD will serve as a menu with overlay layers.
I looked at a previous project and my .PSD files were called "Photoshop Still" in the type column.
Any thoughts on how to bring these in?
Thanks

Did you actually export as a different formart or did you save as a PSD file? (FWIW unless you are using layered menus, which presents issues on its own, flattened picts for the background layer and the overlay layer work better.)

Can not import PSD file (comes in as Quicktime Picture)

I've created a PSD for a layered menu in DVD Studio... but I can not get it to come into DVD Studio as layered PSD... comes in as QuickTime Picture.
PhotoShop - I am using PhotoShop v8.0 The image size is 720x486, 72 dpi. I have 18 layers, and have Rasterized all of the layers.
DVD Studio Pro - I am using version 4.0.3
I've had this problem, and it seems to be intermitent... some files work fine, others do not. I've been going back to an older version of Studio Pro to import the file, then opening it up in DVD Studio Pro 4. I'd like to find a fix.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tony

Quick update:
I opened a new PSD file, dragged all of the layers into the new PSD file... saved it &... it works! It comes in as a Photoshop Still. Why? As far as I can tell, the 2 PSD files are identical. Any thoughts on settings within PSD to insure I can import files into DVD Studio without issue?

Photoshop PSD is importing as Quicktime Picture

I am creating menus in DVDSP 4.1.2 and when I import my PSD files they show up in the Assets window they appear as a "quicktime picture" not a "photoshop still" that will allow me to select my overlays, etc.
Checked the Apple DVDSP boards only came across one discussion that mentioned you must have a bg layer. I do. - So I am stuck.
Any ideas? Thanks

I'm struggling for more than 2 years with this issue, and so far I have not found a good answer. RGB/8 doens't work, a simple background file with a single highlight layer doesn't work.
So far I've found 2 workarounds:
1. Create a new document in Photoshop with the same dimensions. Copy and paste the layers of the non-working document into the new one, save it and import it to DVD Studio. Then it appears as Photoshop Still.
2. Open the non-working psd in Fireworks, save it as psd again. When you open the file in Photoshop you'll notice that the layers are placed in a folder. Get them out, delete the layer and save it. Then it also appears as a Photoshop Still when importing to DVD Studio.
Either way it's bizarre that this problem still occurs after two years of working with DVD Studio Pro.

"Edit menu in Photoshop" opens up QuickTime picture viewer

As the subject line suggests, when I right-click a menu and select "Edit menu in Photoshop" from the pulldown, it opens up QuickTime picture viewer. Somehow, Encore or this function in Encore has gotten reassociated with QuickTime. Any idea how to get it going to Photoshop again instead? Or, any idea of a work-around to open up the menu in Photoshop manually? (Where can I access the menu psd files?)

You need to associate psd files with Photoshop.
Go to a psd file and right click on it and open with..
Set it to Always open with this program.

Can't View JPEGs in Windows Explore Because of QuickTime Picture Viewer

A couple of weeks ago I had some film developed in our local drug store. I had the photos put on a CD. The CD came with its own software and you had to install the software in order to view or take off the photos. I wanted to use my own editing software program to edit my photos so I copied the photos to a folder on my HD. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all my JPEG files had been turned into QuickTime Picture files. Not just the ones that I took off the CD, but every JPEG file on my hard drive--over a 1000! I did what you usually do whenever you want to change an association for a file in WD 98--I right clicked on a JPEG file and chose the option that said always open these type files with ACDSee, the photo editing program I wanted to use for my photos. All this did was to allow me to open all my JPEG files into my favorite photo editing program, but still would not allow me to view my JPEGs in the Windows Preview pane on the left of my screen in Windows Explorer! When you have as many JPEGs as I do, even if they are all organized and labeled, you still need to be able to view the thumbnails in Windows Explorer so that you won't have to open up every photo to see what it looks like. There is no way you can remember what every photo looks like when you have that many files even with them all labeled. I went in to the Preference option in Quick Time and unchecked every thing that had to do with still photos. But it did not help. I right clicked on every folder and checked the option that says View Thumbnails. I went into the Folder Options in Windows Explorer and tried every folder option that was offered and none of it solved the problem. I have searched the knowledge base on MS web site and could not find an answer. I have posted this problem in numerous Tech bulletins and no one can figure out how to solve this problem. I checked my Program's list and I also noticed that I had something there listed right under Quick Time that said "Quick Time for Windows" and don't remember ever seeing that before and don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not. My Quick Time version is: 6.5.2. The "Quick Time for Windows" is not listed in my ADD/REMOVE program. I am so totally frustrated after working on this problem for 2 weeks, almost 8 hours a day, that I am about to uninstall Quick Time just to see if that will solve this problem. I would hate to do that, and that is why I joined this forum before I perform such a drastic measure. I figured that since this forum is all about Quick Time, someone here will know the answer. I have to leave the house for a little while but will check back here when I get back home and see if anyone has posted here. Thank you in advance for any help that you offer.

Well, it seem no one here knows the answer to my problem either. I appreciate all the people who have looked at my problem even though they did not know the answer either. Because no one on the Internet seems to know how to solve this problem, then I am going to have my husband reformat my hard drive and then I know for sure the problem will go away.
I probably should do that anyway since I have never had to reformat my hard drive since I got it 8 years ago. I always said if something is not broke, why fix it and now it finally seems to be "broke", so I might as well clean it up as well as fix it. Thanks to everyone who looked at my problem.

PSD file importing as quicktime picture

I created a layered menu in photoshop, but DVD SP is importing as a quick time picture. Has anyone else run into this and is there a solution?? Its really frustrating.

Hi Chrystal,
There are a lot of problems with layered menus. A Lot. You are really best of using a standard menu.

Quicktime + Picture Viewer?

I recently updated iTunes, and it appears Picture Viewer has been installed on my PC. Needless to say, I am not happy. I cannot remove it via Programs and Features, and I did not agree for it to be installed. I'd like this useless 'Picture Viewer' removed, pronto. Does anyone know how?
<Edited by Host>

Thanks Kirk. I am aware of QuickTime and Picture Viewer's functionality. However, Windows 7 comes with such utilities, so QuickTime and Picture Viewer are therefore redundant, unnecessary software on my machine, save for the fact that I am forced to use iTunes so my iPhone and iPod will function. I am also a photographer, so I use much more advanced software to view and edit images.
Following my most recent iTunes (and QuickTime) update, Picture Viewer showed up in my Start menu as a new program. If it wasn't there before, why would I need it now? I am not currently at my PC to check any help files, but the usual, foolproof method of uninstalling a program in Windows 7 (via Programs and Features) does not work for Picture Viewer. It is not listed as a program or feature and therefore cannot be removed. After some research, I have found that the only way to remove Picture Viewer is to completely uninstall iTunes and QuickTime, then reinstall iTunes.

Canon 4k Raw sequence being brought in skewed

Just shot a project on the Canon C500 & Gemini 444 in Canon Raw (UHD) and come across an odd problem (though perhaps there's an obvious solution). When I select the footage in the media browser and the preview is created for some reason the footage is skewed (it's all there an plays). This remains the case even after I import the footage. I've attached a screenshot to better describe what I mean. The footage opens fine in both Da Vinci Resolve & Canon's own development software so just wondering whether I'm missing something really obvious.
I know I have a couple of alternative workflows that I could use to avoid this but would be grateful if any one has any suggestions since this would be less than ideal

Never did get an answer to this problem - in the end I opted for slightly different workflow.
For my first project I had recorded MXF on the camera as an extra backup. However under the circumstances I used these as a proxy for the editing process (in Premiere) then imported the project into Resolve - replaced the MXF files in resolve with their Canon Raw couterparts did a basic color correction and exported the project (clip by clip) as DPX files, which I then brought back into Premiere for the rest of my post work flow (green screen material). Then back into resolve for the Grade.
My second project was somewhat more substantial and required greater flexibility so I actually 'developed' pretty much all my raw footage into DPX (using the Canon Development software) - it was honestly a time consuming process - there was a lot of footage to process - (not helped by the fact that Canon Development software is really clunky) and obviously more than doubled my storage requirements but allowed me more flexibility in the edit.
To the best of my knowledge still no solution to the RTF format issue in Premiere Pro, however hope this helps. If you'd like the specifics of my process feel free to get in touch, it wasn't quite as straight forward as I'd hoped but ultimately possible.

Resize picture that is being bound to an ADM Picture Push Button?

I am wanting to display previews (pngs) of the ai files in the plugin that match search criteria on a button.
As the user scrolls through the results, change the button picture to be the png for that ai file.
I tested it with a default image in case the image doesn't exist. The test image is cropped to the size of the button.
The pngs are necessarily 600x600 pix. (For other applications).
I want to resize them for display on the button.
(The button is only 100x100).
Do I need to use Image/Drawer suites? Anyone done anything like this?
thanks,
Will

I looked into this a while ago, when we needed to do something similar. I could never figure out a way to resize image resources. I hope somebody else has figured it out.

Unable to download Quicktime- Picture of error posted

Every time I try to download QuickTime I come across this error message. I thought maybe I should try to uninstall QuickTime but I could not find it under programs in my control panel. Any help or suggestions? If you could please list step by step as I am not too in depth with computers outside of general use.
By the way I'm running a Windows 7 i5 64-bit operating system.

If I understand correctly you downloaded the QuickTime installer from the Apple website. But when trying to run the installer you get the error message.
Go to C:\Users\All Users in there you'll see two folders Apple and Apple Computer. Delete both of them then try running the installer and it should install QuickTime.

How do I stop iTunes from being brought to the front every time I rip a CD?

It used to be that "Hide iTunes Windows" will do the trick. With the new iTunes, it stops doing it. I have over a thousand CD and it is getting annoying having iTunes keep popping up with each CD I put into my computer to get it rip, especially when I am working on other stuff.
Thanks!

Two places to set your prefs.
1 is in the System Prefs>Hardware>CD/DVD.
2 is in iTunes prefs>Advanced>Importing.
Set your prefs in those 2 places and all should be well.

Importing pre-made menus- still frame or moving video?

I am new to DVD Studio Pro and I recently authored a DVD that required importing a pre-made menu. The file was a psd and as 640 X 480 in size and about 180 dpi. The menu showed up in my asset window as a Quicktime picture. My question is did DVD SPro somehow convert the still image menu into a moving video file? I ask this because of two reasons...1) the menu plays back as though it's "playing" -when you click the menu's play button, the menu looks for a split second as though it pauses in much the same way a moving video image would look when you "pause it. 2.) The menu does not appear sharp- the text is not crisp as you would expect a still frame to be.
Did I import the menu wrong? I imported it as an asset. I tried to import as a template but the file is "grey" in the import box and you cannot bring it in this way. Also why did it convert the psd (photoshop file) into a quicktime picture?
Thanks!

Menus (even still menus) are moving video. DVDSP will encode them to MPEG2 for the duration of your menu's loop.
Try importing a still of 720x534 (square) pixels, not the size you used, for a 4:3 NTSC menu. DVDSP will have less scaling to do, and this might result in a sharper picture.
