Rendering Motion Menus in Encore - Photoshop File Error -1

I've looked everywhere for the answer to this.... I cannot render my motion menus in Encore.   I recently upgraded to OS Maverick (fresh install) on a brand new SSD drive.  I'm using CS5.5.
Help!!!
(To go in more detail, I did a screencast below)

I did not watch the whole video.
Both (photoshop -1 and the mega-content ROM) are known issues with Mavericks. We are not getting enough feedback to know how well, or not, Encore is working on Mavericks.

Photoshop -1 issue:
The workaround was not to left-click on the menu. Use right click, or other options and menu commands.

See post 12 and several following where we are looking for workarounds to the error.

For bluray projects, a large amount of BD-ROM is shown, and may slow startup.
A workaround is to add a small amount of ROM content.

  • Photoshop file error when rendering motion menus in Encore CS4

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me please?
    I've successfully (after 3 attempts) managed to import my PP project into Encore, created the menus etc from the presets that come with Encore (Wedding Garden menu).  When it comes to rendering the motion menus with the animated buttons option checked, after a couple of seconds it comes up with a Runtime C error - photoshop file (508) i think it is and it crashes.
    It's a new system CS4, Windows 7 64bit, 2x2.40ghz quad core processor, 24gb ram, nvidfia 285 2gb graphics card - do you need to know anything else?
    I've rendered the motion menus without ticking the animate buttons option on the 3 menus I have (it's a wedding dvd - main menu and 2 sub menus with animated thumbnails) and its worked.  This is ok as a workaround but I'd really like to be able to have the menu thumbnails animated.
    Many thanks
    Rachel

    Thanks v much i'll certainly give that a try -
    if it helps - I managed to make a note of the error message after I had sent my initial posting on this topic.

  • Adobe Encore - Background Video Rendering & 'Photoshop File Error - 1'

    Hi, I am having serious problems with Adobe Encore at the moment, and really need help fast.
    I am currently making a DVD project where:
    I have used Photoshop to create the buttons (It's just the two buttons/options created in groups with the text and their highlights. There is no background).
    Once that was done, I created a spearate animation in After Effects that allowed images to change from one to the next.
    I exported this as an MPEG so that it could be inserted as a background video in Encore.
    So I went back to Encore, inserted the buttons and my background video, created the motion properties so that the video would play behind the buttons (and I did the same for audio). Then I went to preview it, and clicked 'render' and it wouldn't! It just pops up 'Photoshop File Error-1'.
    I read that other people have the same problem and have tried editing the psd with the buttons, but still nothing has helped!!!
    Can someone please help me??
    I would really appreciate it. Thank You
    By the way, I am using MAC OS X Version 10.9.2 (Mavericks), if that matters.

    >alert them to the problem, and fix it?
    Will never be fixed... CS6 is done
    CS6 is the final Encore http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/faq.html
    -see #8 here for why http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1337952?tstart=0

    That would be a question to ask Apple, or in an Apple forum

  • Photoshop File Error-1 in Encore CS6 Menus / General Error

    Greetings,
    I recently had to install the whole CS again. I have had the program work previously before but with these issues now, I am lead to believe it is some installation issue.
    I will go to
    File-> New ->Menu. Then create a new timeline, import a video as asset. I will then go to the Flowchart area, Click on what would be the first button on the menu.  From there I go to the right hand side in the Properties area for the buttons. I attempt to use the pickwhip to LINK the chapter point I want and to the button.
    This seems to be done successfully. Next I will go in the properties area to edit the text in the Name field. After tabbing out of that field. I get the "Photoshop File Error-1" Pop up error message.
    I could then go back to File-> New-> Menu and then I would get a "General Error" message that I would not be able to close out of. The only way to close the program is to do so with Task Manager.
    Suggestions?

    Sorry I am occupied elsewhere.
    Try some of these. I don't know whether any of these address the point at which you are getting the error. Can you "Edit in Photoshop," is you right click on a menu?

  • Photoshop file error -1 in Encore

    I am getting this weird "photoshop file error -1" when trying to render the motion menus.  Anyone had this same problem?

    See this thread in the Encore forum.

    I have asked, and do not believe that any Mavericks' users have given a thumbs up. The problem described there, that produces the Photoshop -1 error, has a workaround for some parts of the problem, but looks to me like it would be a serious pain.
    Please report in that thread your assessment and any solutions (or lack thereof).

  • File Not Found when rendering motion menus

    I'm rendering motion menus in CS4. Most of them are successfully rendered but two haven't rendered yet: "FAQ A 13" and "FAQ A 14". When the rendering process gets about 3/4 of the way through FAQ A 13, I get "File Not Found" error.
    There is no indication in the error box of WHICH file was not found (thanks Adobe). It doesn't seem like it can be 13, since it already successfully found 3/4 of the file. But I'd be surprised if it was 14 because 13 should have taken another 15-20 seconds of rendering before 14 was attempted.
    Anyone experienced something like this and have some insight?
    Thanks

    Solved it (sort of): I chose a different transcode preset to force a re-transcode of the video background. Re-rendering motion menus was successful after that.
    Strange though that the transcoded file was corrupted/missing (it was fresh as I had imported the asset this session).
    Also strange that Encore would transcode background assets to mpeg2 before rendering the motion menu; wouldn't it have to recompress to mpeg2 after compositing the additional elements, and lose quality?

  • Encore stops when rendering motion menus

    I have a pretty consistent problem when rendering motion menus/project and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help?
    I've just started to use Encore2, having switched from DVD Workshop 2.
    I've got a wedding to author and I've used the useful 'Create Chapter Index' function that automatically creates sub menus. This has worked fine UNTIL I render the motion menus.
    There are four menus: 1 x Main Menu, and 3 x Sub Menus.
    If I render number 1 sub menu it's fine. It renders all 375 frames (why are there always 375 frames?).
    The number 2 sub menu also renders properly.
    When I get to number 3 sub menu, it always stops at frame 294 and Encore hangs! Why should this be?
    I tried creating another project using the same mpeg file (4.12 GB) but with different menus and the same thing happens!
    Any ideas?
    John

    > why are there always 375 frames?
    Assuming PAL (at 25fps) that would be a 15 second motion menu.
    > always stops at frame 294 and Encore hangs!
    Just guessing: If you used motion thumbnails for chapters or timelines, there could be a "glitch" (corruption) 294 frames into the chapter or timeline the thumbnail video is made from.

  • Why am I getting Photoshop File Error -1?

    I am using Encore CS 5.1 on a Mac Pro 2012 along with Photoshop CC 2014. I created a dvd for a dance recital we did recently and as a favor for the studio owner, I was attempting to do a flash version that I intended to leave online for her.
    When I pressed "Build", Encore began it's process but almost immediately showed the following message:
    "Photoshop File Error -1"
    I used the following settings:
    FORMAT: F4V
    PRESET: 1280X720 widescreen
    FLASH VIDEO FILE: Keep with Flash SWF
    I used Encore templates and changed the backgrounds of all of them to suit my project. I made sure to make the bottom layer of each menu a background just like the template.
    Is there something I'm missing to get this to work right?

    Hi Stan, this is a follow up to your thoughts above. Here are the steps I took in an attempt to identify the issue:
    TESTING PROCEDURES
    1. Change Menu audio file names in encore-no spaces-lowercase (I created audio for each menu)
    2. Change menu names-shorten,no space, lowercase
    3. change timeline name-no spaces, lowercase
    4. change audio & video name-lower case, no spaces
    By doing all the above, I was getting the same error message. Then I tried one last thing: I removed all the Menu Audio items. This was the only way I was able to create the flash version of the dvd. After it's creation, I went back to the audio and changed the actual file names (outside of Encore) to menu1, menu2, menu3 and so on. I then re-imported them into Encore and yet again I received the error message.
    I conclude that adding audio to the Motion menus seems to be problematic to creation of the Flash version. One other piece of info: The audio was all in .aiff format.

  • Every time I try to create a new button I get "photoshop file error -1"

    I'm creating a BluRay set of discs. I'm on number 4 and there will probably be 12. I use the previous discs as a template for the new ones to save huge amounts of time. I haven't had an issue till I opened my project today. Usually I right click on a menu, edit it in photoshop, save it back in, and then I right click the new elemnts and turn them into buttons. I've made dozens of menus like this. Then today I get "photoshop file error -1" that pops up every time I try to make something into a button. I deleted the menu I was working on and used a different menu to rebuild it but I get the same problem. I then opened the photoshop file and saved it to a different location outside the project and then imported it into Encore. Same problem once I tried to make buttons. I also tried trashing the preferences. No Luck. I really need to get this working. It has completely destroyed my ability to get this job done. Ideas anyone?
    If it helps, I am on a Mac running OS X 10.9.1. Encore is version CS5.1.

    I thought there ought to be way to add buttons from the Encore library, but I don't think we found one.
    Best case: add menu from the library with buttons like what you want. Change background etc.
    I like working that way rather than adding things within Encore.
    Worst case: add a menu with the buttons you want; "edit in photoshop" and also "edit in photoshop" your menu; copy paste to your menu.
    You can also directly open library menus; add buttons etc from the encore library folders. I would make a copy of them first. Encore imports a menu from the library to your project; it is never working on its master copy.

  • Photoshop file error -1

    Hi! I am trying to convert my smart object into a button on encore.  I keep getting the same error over and over "photoshop file error -1."  It awful.  I need to be able to fix this or at least work around it.  Any suggestions would be great!
    I am using cs 5.5
    Mavericks OSX
    Mac 2014

    The error "photoshop file error -1" results from multiple problems, and you appear to be having a different problem than OP in this thread.
    Do you get the error in any situation other than going into the flowchart?
    Create a new Encore project, do not add timelines. Import your 3 menus; do you see the error?
    If yes, create new project and add 3 menus from the Encore library. Do you see the error?

  • "Photoshop file error -1" While building project

    I've spent the past couple of days working hard on a DVD project in Encore. I finally finished and was ready to "build" it, when I got the message "Photoshop file error -1".
    This is frustrating because I have to get this DVD to my client very soon. I'm running on OS X v10.9.3. What does this have to do with Photoshop, and is there any solutions to this?
    Help would be deeply appreciated.
    -Taylor Foerster

    So that agardenofthemind does not think he is losing his mind, let me share this: I attempted to do buttons in Encore and also tried to change the name of marker points in Encore and the same problem arose. I was successful in changing them solely in Photoshop so I did that. We seem to have VERY similar issues. I know my solution doesn't seem like it should be the problem and solution but trust me, I went back and tried it several times with the SAME result. In fact, I took another project and did the same thing. It is somehow tied to audio in the menus. Yet this audio works perfectly as a DVD. Very weird to me.

  • What is the easiest ways to create motion menus in Encore CS5 w/ After Effects CS5

    What is the easiest way to create motion Menus in Encore CS5?  I'm creating a motion menu in after effects CS5 and will import as a menu in Encore, but I want to keep the animation, while the buttons will navigate you to the appropriate timelines.  I want to keep the animation going throughout the duration of the menu?
    Thanks,

    Thanks Stan.  Big Help

    The first link is Encore CS5 help. It is a good beginning.  I'm not sure if the tutorial it links to is the same as my second link.  The AE help link below is also useful.
    CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.

  • Photoshop file error -43 on "Edit in Photoshop"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a simple menu using an Encore library menu a starting point. When I click the Edit in Photoshop button, I get the above error. Below are the steps to recreate the error. This youtube video also shows the steps.
    Create a new project.
    Drag PAL_blank menu WIDE from the library to the project window.
    Drag Nifty Fifties button from library to the menu.
    Click the Edit in Photoshop button.
    Encore pops up an error box containing the error message "Photoshop File Error -43"
    Photoshop CS5 and Encore CS5. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    Also CS5, Win7 64 bit.
    I do not get the error.
    Slight variation on your steps: I create a new project, set as PAL.
    The menu list does not show pal or ntsc, just Blank Menu Wide, but the menu name once in is PAL_Blank Menu WIDE.
    I don't think there is any choice on those points, and don't believe it has anything to do with the error.
    Its a file not found error. Makes me wonder about permissions. Try starting Encore as "run as administrator."

  • Abnormal Error When Rendering Motion Menus

    Hello everyone,
    I am having the 'Sorry, and abnormal message' thing going on when I try to render my motion menu's. I have had this problem before, but have since forgotten how to remed the problem. I do remember the override option (not to use). But I am stranded otherwise.
    I have 3 menus. The first one is my main menu. It comes right after a 10 sec video intro. The menu itself runs about 4 mins of video and their are menu options overlaid on top. I have tried a MS DV AVI video and a Adobe Mpeg Encoded MPEG-2 DVD file. So far, when the animate button is flicked on, I have a problem immediately when I click 'render motion menus'.
    Menu 2 and 3 are pretty much the same. I built one, copied and just changed video links and titles. The menu has 6 videos to select from, each with their own video thumbnail. Again when I click animate motion menus I run into the abnormal error. The files for the thumbnails are all MPEG 2 DVD.
    Thank You Everyone for your support!
    BK

    well I fixed the problem. The solution. Reinstall Encore 3 times solving a new error every time. I didn't have to change anything else. Weird.
