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.

  • 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.

  • 3D PSD file import : how to change 3D anchor point in AE ? Challenge..!

    Hello everyone,
    I've successfully imported a 3D file from Photoshop Extended CS4 into AE CS4. In AE, I can sucessfully animate rotation of the 3D object.
    Here's the problem : I cannot change the 3D object's anchor point. I've tried changing the anchor point's coordinates on the controller layer of the 3D object layer, the numers change, but the anchor point remains at its initial position, as if it was locked.
    I also thought changing the anchor point in PS Extended before importing the file into AE, but PS Extended does not seem to have an anchor point changing tool.
    So I even reasoned back one step : changing the anchor point in my 3D software since the beginning. Well, not possible because PS Extended seems to create an average position for the anchor point when impoting a 3D file from a third party software. So useless changing the coordinates in the 3D software.
    Photoshop Extended 3D is the only possible workflow to import 3D objects into AE that I know of.
    So, is is possible to change the 3D anchor point directly in After Effects ? What blocks that point from being changed ?
    This is quite a challenging problem, good luck for finding a solution ! I'm very sure that this technique is commonly needed and used when working in 3D, and that it will be of great help for many designers that want 3D in After Effects !
    Thanks again !
    Note : please do not confuse simple After Effects standard 3D layer, with the 3D PSD file import layer, these are two totally different types

    Any further forward with this anyone?
    This is driving me insane as well...
    I'm trying to create a simple comp within AE and have my clients logo fly on behind their text while rotating in 3D space.
    The idea is for it to rotate on the X axis, but rotate within the logo itself (straight through the axis within the logo itself)
    But when I try to rotate it, the AP is about 2.5 "logo depths" away from the logo, so when the rotation of any axis starts it looks ridiculous.
    Are Adobe really trying to tell us that moving the AP is not possible within AE for imported Live Photoshop PSD files?
    Hopefully a solution comes along soon as I cannot for the life of me figure out a workaround to the problem......
    Cheers,
    Paul.

  • PSD file import. Premiere doesn't show every picture?

    Hey guys, I'm new to all this, so please go on and show me the right direction if I'm wrong here
    I'm working on a project since a few months and I'm using the same Premiere File and the same PSD file since then.
    Of course I'm changing the PSD a few times to, so I can actually put in more pictures in Premiere and do stuff with them!
    But now, as my PSD file got a bit larger, much more folders, much more pictures, Premiere doesn't want to show me
    every single picture!! What is wrong? Do I do something wrong now? Is it really because of the psd file being a bit bigger now?
    If you need anymore information don't hesitate to contact me!
    Greetings and happy eastern!
    Mustafa

    thanks for the advice JSS1138!
    That is highly frustrating if I save every single picture, but if I haven't any choice I have to do that.
    Is there any other option?

  • PSD file import: always the same layers no matter what psd file

    So, another problem has just popped up! Picture is, I imported a psd file into ae and made a cool vid out of it, which is all well and good. However, I decided to do a new one and as I imported the NEW psd file (as in COMPLETELY new, different file name with different drawings, different layer names etc) into ae... surprise surprise! The OLD psd file is displayed in the ae screen (???) It says it has imported my new psd file, but the layers and images displayed are from the old one (which, as I said, has nothing to do with the new one, except in matching canvas size).
    Thanks!

    How did you import and what exactly are you viewing? The source view? The comp view? The timeline layer view? Did you use "File --> Replace Footage"? Naturally, unless you actually replaced the elements, the latter two will keep showing your original PSD as they are referenced by the original project. Otherwise the source view should correctly reflect your new document. That aside I seem to vaguely rember an issue with this in some older version of AE (something with AE misinterpreting paths for identically named layers in different files), but since you did not make any mention of your AE version nor platform, operating system or hardware, it will be impossible for anyone to be more specific....

  • How to break down single file imported from quicktime into clips?

    Can anyone help? I am trying to import video footage from a sony handycam, and have managed to import using USB via DvDxDV and then quicktime. However, it imports the movie as one big clip, is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down? Thanks

    is there anyway to instruct iMovie to break the clips down?
    You have to do that manually by Command-T or by "Split Clip at Playhead" -menu command.

  • Dropping an audio track onto a PSD  file imported into Final Cut Express

    I created a credits page for my video in Photoshop and then imported it into Final Cut Express (Version 1.0). I then duplicated part of an audio track from another sequence (My friend's father playing the organ), and dropped it onto the Photoshop credits sequence. It displayed and played nicely in Final Cut Express, but did not create an audio track which was visible within Final Cut Express. When I exported the sequence as a .mov file and then imported that into iDVD, it also displayed and played correctly in iDVD. But when I burned the DVD, there was no longer any audio with the credits. Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much for your response. I selected and copied tracks A1 and A2 from one sequence and then pasted them into the credits (Photoshop) sequence. No audio tracks appeared in the Photoshop sequence, but we could hear the audio when we played the Photoshop sequence.
    There was video associated with the original organ track, and we did not lock off the video when we dropped it into the Timeline, although there didn't seem to be any problem with the video. We did not Mixdown the audio either, although no audio tracks were displayed in the Photoshop sequence. I will try both of those things and see if it makes a difference. Thanks again.

  • When exporting .psd files to jpg, the picture gets cropped

    This happens on occasion. I cannot find any answers on how to fix this issue anywhere. Can someone help?

    It doesn't always happen. If it does, closing the .psd and re-opening it will normally fix it temporarily.

  • Adobe After Effects CS 6 3D file import

    Hello friends. AE CS 5 were able to import the psd file with the 3D, but did not see this feature in CS6. Does anyone have information about importing a 3d file CS6?

    Photoshop CS5 - CS6 versions, you can import 3D files. Psd files, import After Effects CS5 program when it could use the 3D camera feature. But while the 3D features of AE CS6 protection feature also does not seem to import.

  • 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?

  • How to import a picture into a Psd file using codes?

    I'm trying to import a picture into a psd file as a new layer, but i can't find the method of photoshop object in visual studio 2010 object browser. Is it possible to do this job using vb.net codes?
    Any suggestion will be gratuated!

    I beleive Michael L Hale stated that he used the ScriptListener to generate code for PhotoShop "menu File>Place".  Many things can not be done through in Photoshop Scripting through the Adobe's normal scripting methods Adobe provided for scripting.  However Adobe also supplied  the ScriptListener.8li plugin which when installed is a bit like the actions palette's action recorded without controls.  Everthing that can be recorded in Photoshop is written to two files on your desktop in script code one in Javascript the other VBS.  The Script code use an Action Manager Method so thing not posible with normal scripting methods can be use in scripts.  The only way to start and stop recording these two script files it to install ScriptListener.8li before you start Photoshop and to uninstall it after you exit Photoshop. Awarkward but better then nothing there is no logic just step, step, step like actions and the code is not all that readable.  However you can take that code and modify it to use vars to turn steps into javascript functions and whatever VBS uses.
    For example Place
    REM =======================================================
    DIM objApp
    SET objApp = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
    REM Use dialog mode 3 for show no dialogs
    DIM dialogMode
    dialogMode = 3
    DIM idPlc
    idPlc = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Plc " )
        DIM desc3
        SET desc3 = CreateObject( "Photoshop.ActionDescriptor" )
        DIM idnull
        idnull = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "null" )
        Call desc3.PutPath( idnull, "D:\\Temp\\Portrait\\dsc6234.psd" )
        DIM idFTcs
        idFTcs = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "FTcs" )
        DIM idQCSt
        idQCSt = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "QCSt" )
        DIM idQcsa
        idQcsa = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Qcsa" )
        Call desc3.PutEnumerated( idFTcs, idQCSt, idQcsa )
        DIM idOfst
        idOfst = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Ofst" )
            DIM desc4
            SET desc4 = CreateObject( "Photoshop.ActionDescriptor" )
            DIM idHrzn
            idHrzn = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Hrzn" )
            DIM idRlt
            idRlt = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "#Rlt" )
            Call desc4.PutUnitDouble( idHrzn, idRlt, 0.000000 )
            DIM idVrtc
            idVrtc = objApp.CharIDToTypeID( "Vrtc" )
            DIM idRlt

  • PSD files always imported as one layer QuickTime

    Does anyone know how to work around the bug in DVD SP 4.2.1 that formats every imported PSD file to Quick Time format destroying the layer structure?
    No matter if the file has layers or not, no matter if the file is saved in PSD, TIF, JEPG, etc the files appears as Quick Time one layer in DVD SP once imported.
    The files generated in PSD (CS4 11.0.1) are 8-bit, RGB, multiple layer or flattend image, standard size, nothing strange.
    Several months ago I did a similar work and had no problems.
    What's happening? Any idea?

    Did you ever read my reply in post #5?  
    My suggestion would be to download a trial version of Photoshop, whatever runs on your machine, and use the Image Processor in Photoshop to batch convert all your files as TIFFs before the 30-day trial period is over.

  • .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

    I exported a layered .PSD file from Photoshop CS and CS2
    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.)

  • Importing PSD files from PC

    I have been trying to import layered .psd files from a PC. When I import them into DVDSP they show up as a QuickTime Picture with only one layer, instead of a photoshop file with multiple layers. Anyone else encounter this issue?

    Ask if they're saving the PSD with the compatibility mode selected. I can't recall exactly what it's called, but there's a preference for saving a "compatible" version of the file. What it actually does is save flattened version of the file along with the regular layers, for apps that can' read Photoshop's layers. Perhaps the file's been saved this way and DVDSP is reading the flattened portion instead?
