Terrible Video Playback in Photoshop CS6

I'm working on a computer that is more than fast enough to play 1080P video from DSLR. Specs are Intel Quad Core Q9550 @ 2.83Ghz, 6 Gigs of DDR2 800 RAM, Quadro 2000 GPU, and RAID 0 7200rpm scratch drives. Photoshop has 4 gigs of RAM dedicated to it and GPU acceleration is turned on. When I open up a video recorded from my Canon 60D that consists of 1080P video at 30fps, I can not get playback to be better than 17fps. It is terrible and I have no idea why this is happening. Last night I installed all available updates for CS6, updated to windows 8.1 and did a clean install on my GPU driver from nVidia for windows 8.1 64bit. STILL terrible playback. As soon as I add an adjustment layer to the video, it drops to 4fps. What is happening. I don't think these videos should be playing back this slowly. If I watch them in another stand alone player, the frame rate is perfect.

I don't think these videos should be playing back this slowly.
But then again, PS is not a video editing app like Premiere, is it not? Not to dismiss your point, but expecting things to be realtime in PS is a bit optimistic, even more so once you add effects and adjustments. It simply isn't meant for this. Actualyl processing video is different from just playing it back and whatever evil combination of circumstances prevents RT playback on your system is probably not something that can be fixed or at least not easily. As a start you might wanna run some system monitoring tool to detect potential bottlenecks and e.g. try different screen resolutions, turn off color management and so on - anything that may contribute to consuming processing resources, even if not in an obvious, conscious way. Also check the storage location of the video. While it may have enough I/O speed for buffered playback, it may not be sufficient for directly playing the footage in PS...

Problems opening video files in Photoshop CS6

I appear to be unable to open any kind of video file in Photoshop CS6, I always get the error message "could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document".
I have noticed, however, that a couple of things seem to be different from all the video tutorials that are out there, e.g:
1. The Timeline dosen't seem to give me the option to open a file from it and appears to be a timeline for animation only (see image below)
2. The Mini Bridge dosen't show the movie files, e.g. on my desktop I have three different movie files (AVI, MP4 & MOV) and as you can see none appear (see image below)

Thanks for your reply Pete.
When I have a picture open the Timeline dosen't seem to have the "convert to video timeline" button you mentioned (see image below)
Also HERE is the link to my system info you requested.

Video tutorial for Photoshop CS6 3d

I have been fighting and struggling for at least two weeks trying to find decent video tutorials for Photoshop CS6 3d. Does no one use it? is there nothing out there. The stuff I have found is either incomplete or the sites don't work or function properly. It's driving me crazy and that's being generous.
Let's face it. If I can't use it I'll have to move on to some other software solution.

Photoshop CS6 does basic video editing you need Adobe Premier Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro 3D Stereoscopic Realtime Editing ...
Or are you referring to a tutorial for Photoshop CS6 Extended 3d support and the you would prefer a video tutorial???
Google is your friend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDVxpnLzOCI
Ant then there is Google Youtube search.
If you want to get into a read 3d application there is free Blender http://www.blender.org/download

Using the New Video Features in Photoshop CS6 | Photoshop CS6 Feature Tour | Adobe TV

Adobe Digital Imaging Evangelist Julieanne Kost shows how to use the new video features in Photoshop CS6.
http://adobe.ly/I5cUF2

I am removing a dust spot from video clips taken during an aerial shoot. I have discovered that the only effective way to remove these spots effectively is to use PS6 and go frame by frame using the paint brush, clone stamp, and spot healing brush. It is very time consuming and mind numbing but the only thing that works with all tha movement of the aircraft and the ground below.
My question:
Right now to advance the clip one frame at a time - I must magnify the time line so to see the frame by frame lables. To advance to the next frame I must remove my cursor from the work area and go down to the time line and click on the next frame.
How can I advance to the next frame with a keyboard stroke and not move my cursor out of the work area?
Thank you in advance for any help.

No video playback in premiere CS6 trial

Hi,
I am trying to use the Adobe Premiere CS6 trial on my laptop but I can't get the video playback to display at all. There is audio playback, just no video. I can get a paused frame to show if I double-click on the playback area but pressing play does not make the video play, only the audio. Stopping the playback displays the latest current frame again.
My laptop's specs are as follows:
Toshiba notebook
Intel i7 2.40GHz
8gb RAM
500+ gb free space
Windows 8 64
Latest Intel display drivers installed
The video files I am importing in my sequence are .mov files, 1920x1088 @ 23 FPS.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks for your time,
- Benjamin

thank you. I was crazy trying to solve the problem. I install the drivers
and ..... like magic .... all the problems solve.
Thank you

Slow video playback in Photoshop Elements 11

Playback of videos directly in Photoshop Elements Organizer is very slow. Video is stuttering.
Playing the same video outside of PSE11 with Windows Media Player is much better. Video plays without any stuttering.
Looks like the internal video player of PSE11 is very poor and provides slow performance.
What can I do do have the same video performance with the PSE11 player as I have with WMP.
I use Windows 7 64 Bit (8 GB RAM) with a Intel Core i3 (2330). This CPU has enough power to playback HD or Full-HD videos without any stuttering!!!
Why can't the internal play of PSE11 Organizer play my videos without stuttering - like WMP 12.0.7601.18150 does?
Regards,
Dodson65

The videos I use are created with different devices.
I have HD videos taken with a Pentax DSLR and I have Full-HD videos taken with a Windows Phone 8 device.
Both playback on my Laptop without any stottering with different software. I checked WMP and VLC. Even when using my Laptop with energy-saving profile these videos can be played without stottering.
When I playback the videos in PSE11 Organizer I don't want to edit them - just playback. So why should the internal player behave different? I agree with you - this might be different when I playback the videos in Premiere Elements 11 (as this is a video editing software). But when using Photoshop Elements 11 I want to be able to playback videos in the same performance as I can do with WMP or VLC. If Photoshop Elements 11 can't do that - why? The organizer of PSE11 is not an editor. It should be able to playback videos the same way (with the same performance) as other players on my laptop.
Can you please explain this sentence: "Have you started a Premiere Elements project yet that uses this video's specs? This will often trigger Premiere Elements to download the necessary components for interpretting the video." Is there anything I can do to improve video playback performance?

Video Transitions in Photoshop CS6

Is it possible to add more video transitions (additional to the existing fade transitions) to Photoshop CS6?

We don't have these effects available as drag-and-drop transitions. This could be submitted as a feature request. There are, however, some workarounds if you don't mind going through the steps:
1.) Wipe: Add a layer mask to the video file, fill the mask with black, unlink the mask, then add Layer Mask Position keyframes to move the layer mask across the video in time (you'll have to have a second clip positioned on a separate track and overlapping in time to get the effect). Add a small feather to the mask in the properties panel to taste (you may want to transform the mask, make sure it's unlinked first, to make it a little larger than the image area if you add feathering).
Diagonal wipes are bit trickier: Follow the same steps above but fill only half the mask with black (on a diagonal, polygon lasso can help with this) and you also need a mask that's larger than the image area so you can pan across (use free transform, make sure the mask is unlinked).
Shape Wipes: I believe this is impossible to do easily, because you would need to transform (scale) the layer mask across time, and this isn't available for layer masks (another feature request if you'd like). Technically you could still pull this off, but you would need to synchronize several different layers/layer masks across time and modify each one so that it forms part of the star shape. That's the only way I can think of currently, if you want something like a star wipe...
2.) Blur: There's a few different ways you could do this. Hardest and most accurate: individually blur each frame by incremental amounts (automate for convenience with an action or script). Different but similar effect: Copy the video, convert the copy to a smart object and place directly below the original on a separate track/video group. Blur the smart object (applies to all frames) and then use opacity keyframes on the original (unblurred) video layer to transition between the two.
3.) Lens Flare: Same steps/suggestions as blur, except replace the blur filter with lens flare filter.

Video editing in photoshop cs6

Hello
I imported the video in psd cs6 version but it gave me error msg telling the request cannot be completed as the dynamic path is not available...Anyone know what to do

Without system information and other details like what specific footage files nobody can say much. in any case, the DynamicLink Media Server not being avialable means it is being blocked or did not launch, which is a system problem.

How do I change effects in 'Altered Video' timeline in Photoshop CS6?

I added a filter to my video but it only lasts for a few frames. There are little marks shown where I added it in the Altered Video section of the timeline.
How do I apply a filter or effect to the entire clip?
Also when I ad a filter such as Lens Correction, it only lasts for a few frames..How do I get it to remain?

I was going to Move that thread for you, but could not get it to go to Photoshop General Discussion - that option was grayed out.
Maybe Pierre, who Replied in that thread, will have more access, and can accommodate you.
Good luck,

Terrible Video Playback

The single core 1GHz processor should easily be able to play back HD video. A 720p (not even 1080) WMV plays a few frames and then stops cold (only audio from there forward). Even standard DVD quality avis play with a noticeable lack of smoothness, probably only 15FPS. There is some video driver issue that makes this device look far worse than my HTC Thunderbolt, which has the same processor.
Someone at Lenovo should have checked this.

Weird - I just played that YouTube video -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip2ZGND1I9Q
The video plays - I think it might be in HQ - but the sound doesn't work properly. It has a lot of staticky sounding pops and the soundtrack isn't playing properly. The motion is semi-smooth, not perfect but good enough. Listen to the video on your PC then try it in in the A1.
I'm having a terrible time with WMV files especially - my 720p WMV file at 6MBPS gets stuck quickly and bogs down the machine, whether or not the video is in internal memory or on the card. I'm noticing MP4 plays better but not always good.
There is no way this plays 1080p at all. The other 720p videos as MP4s are playing better with Mobo Player Pro (which kills all other running apps) but it is not consistent.

I used to be able open video files in Photoshop CS6. When I try to open it now it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

I don't know what I did. I started messing around with After Effects and accidentally opened up Adobe Media Encoder Queue. After that, that's when I noticed the problem. I can still import the video frames into layers but I can't open it up directly. I tried opening .avi, .mkv, and .wmv files. Also just noticed I'm missing the "change timeline view into video view" button. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

You either borked your hardware acceleration stuff by changing graphics settings/ installing a different driver or you messed up your CoDecs (and the associated hardware acceleration options) by installing a Codec pack or alternate media player... Impossible to be more specific, since you haven't bothered to provide even the most basic system info.

How do I apply a filter or Rubber Stamp to an entire video clip in Photoshop CS6?

I see if I apply and adjustment layer, it works for the whole clip but any filter outside of that or rubber stamp only lasts for a few frames. How do I apply them to the entire clip?

Seems like converting the layer to a Smart Object sort of works but once I do I can't play the footage

Terrible video playback quality

Hi all,
I am tearing my hair out wondering why all my video footage looks awful when played back in QT. I have tried playing .dv .mpg .avi files etc. and they are all jerky and disappointing. Footage has been captured by both SD camcorder and DV camcorder; even uncompressed PAL DV looks bad. However, when this footage is burned to DVD and watched on my TV DVD player the motion is silky smooth. I have even tried deinterlacing the footage with MPEG Streamclip but even that looks awful! In addition, self authored DVDs that look fine on a TV look rubbish when played on the Mac. Ideas?

Does it look bad AND jerky, or just stuttering?
Make a 6 second long snippet of one of the DV files. Save it as a self-contained movie. Try playing that. Any difference?
Now download VLC from videolan.org, play the same file and compare results.
Now repeat the process with the Activity Monitor CPU graph running. My wild guess is the video is crushing your CPU.
