Trouble Importing Frames into AC CS4 9.02.42

Good afternoon,
I am having trouble importing the frames for a project into AE CS4, and it seems to be an issue with After Effects remembering a previous attempt and importing these files.
The first time I tried ti import this project, I hadn't realized that the initially copy of the data from the external drive to my project drive ( internal SATA 1 TB drive) had gotten corrupted becuase Soundbooth had locked up and I had to hard shut down the system while the copy was processing ( lesson learned, never try and start editing Audio on a project while the video frames are still copying to the drive) and AE opened all the files on the drive and then generated an error because the last frames were corrupt. I deleted the folder on the project drive and recopied the project over from the external drive and let it finish before I tried anything on the system. I have verified all the frames are intact now on the project drive, I have used Purge All on AE, but when ever I try to import the files into AE, it still stops at frame 32767 and doesnt load the rest of the video. I need to be able to load all 53813 frames so I can work on this project. I even renamed the prefix on the files and attempted to load them again, and still it stops at frame 32767.
Is there a way I am missing to completely purge any history lists, temp files, etc, with Adobe Premiere CS4 and AfterEffects CS4 ?
I can import a 79 GB uncompressed AVI just fine no issues, so I know it is not a system resources problem, I am on Vista 64 with 8 gb of RAM and loads of free hard drive space.
Does anyone have anyideas how to resolve this and what I can do to fix AE so it will import this entire project? I still have to import the second have of the project too which is another half hour worth of frames.
Thank you,
Jeff

I wonder if the 64 bit version of AfterEffects CS5 will remove that limitation?
Why should it? You are confusing things here (no offense). This has nothing to do with how much memory AE can handle or any of that, it's good old 16bit integer code that handles the numbering calculations. This is certainly an issue just as deep as the memory handling itself and bound to cause a ton of compatibility problems with older versions, so any change on that end will have to be weighed carefully before changing it. I wouldn't keep my hopes up for any soon-ish action on that end, as certainly it is not the highest priority for 99% of users that only ever handle short sequences...

Import Snippets into Dreamweaver CS4

Have searched in Help and not able to find out how to import
snippets into DW CS4 from DW CS3. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. The snippets folder IS in the configuration folder for CS3,
but not the needed subfolder within the snippets folder with all my stuff in it?
There is no ApplicationData path for on my machine either. I have WPXPro.
Why not just create an import function.

Trouble Importing Photos into iMovie

I am trying to import photos into iMovie and am having trouble. They look like they are importing OK, and when the import is through (the red bar has finished loading) the picture disappears and the clip becomes blank. This is happening when I import from the finder, from iPhoto, or from FILE>Import, and with lots of different photo sizes, none seem to work. My iMovie project file is located on an external drive with tons of space. I have plenty of space of the startup disk, so I don't know why this is happening, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

I had this problem last year (August-Sept 2007), and I'm having it again now (August 2008). When I import jpeg photos from iPhoto to iMovie, they turn black and are not accessible in iMovie. In addition, this time when I imported several photos, the replay of the iMovie became jerky. When I threw out the photos, the movie became smoother, the way it was originally. There seems to be some sort of bug that has not been fixed in over a year.

Trouble importing movie into iMovieHD

I'm having trouble importing a video into iMovie HD. Here's the message I get when attempting to do so: "The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Users/Edd/Movies/ITI videos/don keehotay- Otto's 2.15.09” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -1409".
the file name and extension are, "don keehotay- Otto's 2.15.iMovieProject".
Any ideas on what I can do to get this to work?

Hi dupedd - it is an mpg file. iMovie HD needs DV formatted material. What was the source of your file?
You will need to convert it, using:
MPEG StreamClip (free):
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
Apple MPEG2 PlayBack ($20):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
And see here:

Import PSD into Illustrator CS4 Mac Yosemite

Does anybody know how to fix the problem of importing PSD files into Illustrator CS4?
I am using the new OS X Yosemite 10.10.
Illustrator wants to tell me that PSD would be an unknown file format.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Peter

A work around is saving your psd files as pdf files instead. You can then open them in Illustrator.

Trouble importing LiveType into FCE

I am trying LiveType for the first time with my video. I have created the file in LiveType and then tried to import it into FCE. When I view the background in the viewer it looks great. When I drag it to my movie and try Insert I get an error that says "Edit Operation had no effect. Check the target tracks. You may need to open the source clip into the viewer in order to see all of the target tracks". It doesn't add it to my timeline. I can drag it to the timeline, but when I preview the video it says unrendered as it plays. It has the red line in the bar above it and everything else in my video is green. I have rendered the video in LiveType and also just tried the LiveType file...
Anyone have any advice? I am sure this is something simple...
Thanks for your help!!

Appears to be a problem in LiveType and FCE as of Leopard.
LiveType files created BEFORE Leopard was installed import fine, but files created AFTER Leopard was installed will not import and return an error:
File Error. 1 File Recognized. 0 Access Denied. 1 file unknown.
Live Type files that are rendered as movies are importable and that is the workaround. But of course they cannot be edited again unless the Live Type file is reopened and re-rendered.
IOW, no import of a Live Type file directly into FCE.
Pro apps download doesn't appear to apply to FCE and you need a FCP serial # to access it anyway.
All suggestions appreciated.

Trouble importing FLV into flash - keep gettingan error

Hello all, I'm hopping that someone else has had this problem
before. I'm a long time user of Flash but have just downloaded the
the newest version (CS3) to try it out. I was really looking
forward to the video capabilities. ANYWAY, I'm on a new IMac,
running OSX version 10.4.11. I downloaded and installed the newest
version of flash. I created an FLV with some video that I had and
I'm attempting to import it into a flash file. I get through all of
the steps and it appears to be importing but then I get this error.
"Error opening file; Library/Application Support/Adobe
FlashCS3/en/Configuration//JavaScript/DeployVideo.jsfl" I went to
this location on my computer and the "Adobe FlashCS3" folder isn't
even there. It's like it wasn't even installed. I've re-installed
the software twice. Anyone know what the deal is. Thanks in
advance.

how do you convert it to a prores file in compressor. I cant figure out that program at all.
If you have a movie file that you wish to compress, launch Compressor.
Once Compressor is open, go to the upper left-hand corner of the project window and select Add File.
It will open up a window in which you can browse all available storage spaces.
Select a file. Once you have done so, then assign a conversion setting from available ones and a destination for the encoded files
Hit submit.
There are dozens of free tutorials on the internet.

Trouble importing photos into Lightroom 3

I was no longer able to import photos into Light room 3 so I removed everything to "My Pictures" to a folder named Light room Photos and uninstalled and reinstalled Light room, but when I try to import my photos back into Light room from that folder it "no photos found" which was why I tried this to begin with as whenever I tried to import from a memory card it came up with "no photos found. Any ideas?@

I'm having the same problem as you.
Lightroom 5.2 has been running for a year and now it's just stops importing from my CF cards.
Is that the same problem, or a different problem?
What is the error message?
I've got Permissions set to allow me to do anything so, that ain't the issue either.
This is often the first response and when we insist that we see screen captures of the Import dialog box and the permissions on the folder specified under "Destination", it turns out the permissions are not set properly.
So, we need to see screen captures of both your Import dialog box and the permissions on that exact folder specified under Destination

Trouble importing video into iMovie from External HD

I have video from my Panasonic Full HD camera. I have already transferred the video off the camera and onto an external hard drive. When I try to import the video into iMovie those files are grayed out. Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
It is all my video of my son's first year since birth!

It is very important that when you transferred the video off the camera, you kept all files and folders from the camera. If you did, you can open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE and navigate to the folder that contains the contents that you removed from the camera.
In the future, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA. This will bring up an import screen. There you can click a button that says Create Camera Archive. This will automatically get you all the files you need off the camera, and it gives you a good backup.
You can also import directly into iMovie from this screen.
If you did not preserve the contents of the camera - for example, you just copied the .mts files, but did not copy the rest of the files and folders, you will need a third party app to convert the .mts files so that iMovie can read them. Two apps that people use for this are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. They are pricey, but if you did not copy the full camera contents, this may be your best bet.

Unable to import xml into my CS4 project

Hi folks,
I am trying to embed a 3rd party flash component into my current flash project. As a stand alone, the component works fine but when I try and import the xml file for the component into my current flash project library, the message I get:
" one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them"!!!
I have tried importing the xml file into another dummy cs4 project on another machine and again no success, so I believe there are elements within the xml file that will not work with cs4. Below is the xml file code. I would appreciate if anyone can spot anything wrong with this file as to why it wont import into flash. Even try and import it yourself and see what I mean.
Hope someone can help.

Hi there,
Thank you for responding. When I say component, I have purchased a flash component from a company called www.flabell.com. When you buy the component, you get the as, swf, assest, images, fla etc etc.
My goal is to embed this component into a flash project that I am working on at the moment which involves importing the assets/resources from the flabell component folder into the library of my current flash project.
My folder structure at the moment is that I have top level folder call project. In this folder is my actual flash project folder and the flabell component folder. So no the html that embeds my main swf is not in the same folder as my 3 party swf - they are in two different locations. However should this be an issue if I am importing the xml into my main project library anyway?
Hope this info shines more light.

Having trouble importing videos into iPhoto

Yesterday I restored my iMac, after backing up all my photos and videos in iPhoto to a hard drive, using File > Export in iPhoto.
I've just tried to import all the photos and videos back into iPhoto after restoring, but I cant import the videos.
I keep geting a message saying the following files could not be imported with a list of all my videos.
the file types are a mixture of AVI, MP4, and MOV.
Im not sure where im going wrong,
thanks

to backup up your iPhoto library you must drag it intact as a single entity to an external drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - exporting photos does not back up your library - only your photos - and exporting video only gives you a preview of the first frame unless you expor the original
Unless you have a backup of your iPhoto library you probably have lost yru videos

Hang upon importing footage into premiere cs4 using iMac

hello,
Ive been trying to import some footage into adobe premiere cs4 on the iMac. This is the first time I've ever used adobe premiere on the imac. When i try to import anything (ie: import an avi file, sequence, or old adobe premiere project) the program just hangs for hours.
I had been working on a project in adobe premiere on the windows. Then i took that project and transferred it over to the mac by copying and pasting the files through a server. When i try to import anything at all, again, it hangs.
I;d appreciate any help with this.'Thanks

New person's question: regarding importing media into premiere cs4

Hi folks, please excuse the level of my ignorance but I really need a bit of clarification. If i import video from a tape captured from my Canon A1, hd 30 frames progressive or if I import into a project video movie which was rendered 1920x1080 progressive f4v is there any difference in quality?
In other words is digital information captured in the native format via adobe capture window ( set to hd ) of better "quality" then importing a movie that was 1st rendered from a different project in the hd f4v format?
I am embarished to ask this question as I keep thinking that zeros and ones captured in Hd 1920x1080 adobe flash movie can not degrade if imported into a project vs digital info from a tape but maybe I am missing something that is essential in the work flow process.
It is easy for me to output sections of my training films as f4v and store them on my hard drive. Later I can import "blocks" of edited material into another training project but I am afraid that I might be degrading the process with this work flow.
Sorry to ask such a newbie question but I really don't want to make a fundamental mistake that will have a negative effect down the road.
Thanks again,

Capturing is just a transfer of 0's and 1's, nothing gets changed, so no quality loss. What was recorded is transferred.
Rendering on the other hand means a change from format A to B. That always implies a loss of quality. How severe depends on the formats used.

Trouble importing photos into Elements 8 under Windows 7

Elements 8 is rejecting jpeg photos I am trying to import from SD card or DVD. The photos were taken with different cameras, and ones I've imported from successfully before. It labels the files as "corrupted", or "organizer doesn't recognize this file format" or other strange messages. I've successfully imported these files into Picassa, and Windows explorer - they are plain jpegs.

So right after posting the question, I decided to try to first import into the file system and then import from the file system, and that worked. But its a pain because it changes my workflow.
A possible workaround: You could use Windows Live Photo Gallery to download into your folders; the WLPG downloader is pretty good (WLPG is the version you download from Microsoft, not the one built in to Vista). Then you could use the Organizer's File > Watch Folder feature to automatically import new photos that get added to your folders by the downloader.
Do you use lightroom? Do you recommend it?
I don't use Lightroom, but it has a very good reputation. I know some other posters here use it.

Trouble importing images into iPhoto

I have a G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.4 and I am trying to use iPhoto 5.0.4 to create an album.
Some photos can be imported, some not. I do not understand why some can be imported and some cannot.
I seem to be able to import photos originally imported from my camera in to the computer - I think iPhoto handles this.
I have trouble with images copied from a CD-ROM to my hard disk drive (originally the files were on a PC). I'm not sure if all of the CD-ROM photos are not importable or just some.
I can view the pictures as thumbs in Finder, I can view them with Photoshop, and I can view them with Preview.
I get the following error message which is useless as there are no Help searches identifying it (the 1 after Unreadable Files: is in reference to my trying to import a single image. If import 5 images the 1 would be a 5, etc.):
"Unreadable Files: 1
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data). "
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Here's how I solved my problem - I noticed that files from a camera worked, but not files I copied from a CDROM to my hard drive. That is, for some reason, importing files directly from my hard drive did not work. I tried importing the original files directly from my CDROM and it worked. Apparently there is some sort of import function which needs to occur, but does not occur when one copies them from a CDROM to a hard drive. I believe this to be a software bug with iPhoto - the application should be able to identify jpeg files regardless of the source - PhotoShop, Finder, and Preview have no issue doing so. Regardless, problem solved - thank you to those who responded to my question!
