  • Converting video frames to layers error with Windows 8.1?

    The above happens after I click to convert video frames to layers and select a video. I've tried with 480p and 720p mp4 videos. I have Quicktime 7.7.4 installed, not sure what is going wrong!

  • Importing video frames to layers - Photoshop doesn't support it on my version of Windows??

    Ok I really need help - my laptop hard drive died yesterday and I had to get a new one. I've just booted up Photoshop on my new hard drive and it's saying it doesn't support importing video frames to layers on this version of Windows. It's Windows 7 - the same version I had yesterday (as far as I know). Does anyone know how to fix this?? I don't want to pay for someting I can't even use!!

    Also, you can make sure your system is 64 bit capable by:
       Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Performance Information and Tools. 
    Click View and print details. 
    In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type. Under 64-bit capable, you can see whether you can run a 64-bit version of Windows. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.) 

  • Error message "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not avai

    So I decided to try my hand at making gifs and so I attempted to upload a video by going to file -> import -> video frames to layers. Before even letting my pick my video it comes up with an error message saying "could not complete the video frames to layers command because dynamiclink is not availible." I then tried file -> open -> and then selected the video and no matter what file type or size I chose I ended up with the same error message.
    I looked this problem up and attempted some of the solutions but to no avail. I tried clearing my preferences and restarting photoshop many times in addition to restarting my computer. I also checked to make sure it wasn't being blocked by any firewalls and it wasn't. My opperating system is Windows 7 and I'm using photoshop cs6. I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so if anyone is able to help me solve this problem I'd be much obliged.

    You see my C:\ drive is quite small as it's a SSD, so I made Adobe install programs on my E:\ drive too, however this was the main cause for Adobe not to function.
    After adjusting the settings to install everything back to my C:\ drive, it fixed my issue above and allowed me to run the 64bit version.

  • Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not av

    I have this problem, I have PS CS6 and when I click on File> Import> Video Frames to Layers.. Next, the window that says "Initializing Video Import" starting to load and always get stuck and that's what appears: "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available". That's with aaaall the videos.
    PS: I've been trying with File> Open but that's what says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Anybody know what happens to my photoshop? Thx!

    The relevant auxiliary service/ helper app is being blocked and thus not launching,. anything from permissions issues to security tools getting in teh way. Check your Task Manager/ Activity Monitor, turn off security stuff, run as admin.

  • Error Importing Video Frames to Layers in Photoshop CC

    I'm trying to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CC, the most recent edition. I'm using a Mac OS X Maverick version 10.9.2.
    The video I'm working with is a .mov file with the following codecs: Timecode, Linear PCM, CEA 708, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
    When I import frames to layers, the window is black. *Note: The audio works here, picture does not appear.
    When I select OK, the layers are transparent.
    This issue is specific to Photoshop CC. I tested the same .mov file with the same codecs in the most recent edition of Photoshop CS6, and import video frames to layers worked successfully.
    I also tested the same .mov file using another user's computer and their edition of Photoshop CC, and experienced the same issue - black screen, transparent frames.
    This leads me to believe it is an issue specific to the Photoshop CC software.
    Is there a fix for this, or do you have recommendations on ways to convert the .mov file so it's viewable in Photoshop CC?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Photoshop Video Frames to Layers Cripples Premiere

    Hey folks,
    I've been using Premiere and AE with dynamic link for some time now to make my videos. Up until this past week, the playback of Linked Comps from AE in Premiere was buttery smooth. I could playback on my Mac 2013 Retina (With CS6) at full quality without stuttering. Rendering was also extremely quick even when linked comps had lots of effects applied to them.
    Fast forward to last week, and now when playing back Linked Comps from AE in Premiere, they stutter and skip frames in Premiere's source window and take forever to render in the Timeline.
    I tried speaking to Adobe for hours to try to solve the problem to no avail, until I realized...up until just last week, I had never before used Photoshop's File>Import>Video Frames to Layers to create animated gifs from my exported videos.
    I am no convinced that Photoshop is somehow at fault in causing this dramatic loss of performance between AE and Premiere. This is a serious bug. I hope it can be fixed somehow!

  • DynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.

    I am trying to load a video into photoshop cc (trial) via File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. It has worked in the past, but for some reason has seemed to have stopped working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, and I've shut down my computer and rebooted it multiple times. I have also looked into the other questions listing "dynamiclink media server" as a problem and have tried to figure out what is wrong, or how to fix it. I have not been able to understand what I should do, so I was hoping someone would know how to help me.
    I have a macbook pro, which is about 2 years old. That's all they've told me to list, so thank you if you're able to help!!!

    Were you able to solve this problem?

    I am also following this discussion Re: trying to import video"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    but non of the solutions under the post #4, #17 either did not work or applied to me, because they were suggested for a Windows user.
    Other notes:
    Bridge is not working at all. It launches, but crashes as soon as you see the workspace.
    Hence, Mini Bridge in Photoshop is also crashing.
    I do have all codecs for the videos, that I was trying to open, though.
    It cannot be an issue, that I have not enough RAM.
    After several other problems with After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, which remain partly unsolved, this post starts form a fresh installation of the whole Adobe Suite. Even used the Cloud Cleaner Tool beforehand and made sure, all presets are from this CS6 version only.

  • Could not complete video frames to layers

    I'm using Windows 8 and I've made GIFs using MP4 before flawlessly, I made 7 in one day and on the 8th one for some reason when I tried to import video frames to layers, it said the file could not be opened.

  • I can't import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS4

    I just bought a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and installed Photoshop CS4 on it, but when I select import video frames to layers and search for a video, they appear but I can't select any videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime and the videos play fine. I can still use photoshop with photos so it seems like it's just this one function that isn't working. It works on my sister's older Macbook pro though (she hasn't got Mountain Lion though, it's snow leopard OS X 10.6.8), and the only time it didn't work was when there wasn't enough space on the computer but I have over 670GB of available space.

    How can I tell if I am using QT X or QT 7? Do you have any idea how I could fix this issue?
    Edit: I downloaded QT 7 and changed it to my default player and restarted my computer. I don't know if this is what I was supposed to do, but the issue is still unresolved. Just wondering, why does it make a difference if it's QT 7 or X? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about these things as I am relatively new to photoshop

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when importing video frames to layers.

    This is perhaps not the correct place to post this, but I am new to the forums, as you can see.
    I saw that there was a post about this sometime last year, and I tried all the methods offered to fix the problem, but none helped.
    Each time I make an attempt to import video frames to layers, I get as far as the "select range to import" screen, and then when I select the range and click ok, it says "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly." And then it closes.
    My operating system is Windows XP, the photoshop type I use is CS3 as I mentioned before, and I have installed Quicktime 7.3.5.
    I checked one of the files I tried to use with the Mediainfo program as suggested, and got the following:
    Format: MPEG-4
    Format profile: Quicktime
    Codec ID: qt
    File size: 176 MiB
    Duration: 18mn 33s
    Overall bit rate: 1 327 Kbps
    Writing application: Lavf53.24.2
    Hopefully this is enough information for someone out there to help me, because I haven't the slightest idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance.

    Convert the file in ffmpeg/ MPEGStreamclip or another tool or export it from Quicktime Pro using anotehr CoDec. PS just sucks at dealing with these compressed files and using such an old version doesn't help with contemporary digital video from a camera...

  • Import video frames to layers set as Quicktime files (PS5)

    For some reason, suddenly when I import video frames to layers, it is now set as Quicktime files that can only be opened (AVI,MPEG etc) and won't pick up MMV files at all. I used to make a lot of gifs fine with WMV files (thats the only format Photoshop PS5 would let me open for years), now it is set up as Quicktime files all of a sudden. It only opens AVI files as well, other video formats pop up with blank screens and then go transparent. Is there any way I can fix this? I'd like to be able to make gifs with WMV files again.
    Is there some way you can open MP4 files onto Photoshop CS5 as well? Converting Youtube vids to WMV is quite a process.
    I hope this question makes sense!

    Something messed with your system's CoDecs - some Windows Update, anotehr app installed, a CoDec pack, whatever. Such stuff is usualyll impossible to recover short of reinstalling the whole system and you're FUBARD - even if you uninstalled the offending app, the crookedness would remain in place.
