What file format is needed to import images files from Lightroom or CC directory?

I have tried accessing psd, tiff and jpeg files to import them into Adobe Shape. All have received an error message saying that the file format isn't supported. What file format should I be using for my images in order to import them?
Thank you!

If your not going to do any individual layer effects or animation then TIFF's would be generally easier and faster to work with. If you are gong to do some effects and layer animation you should do that in Motion then bring the Motion project into FCP.
My Opinion, My Two Cents, That's might be what its worth.

What files format do i need to use to export music from itunes to play on another ipod???

can anyone help - i want to be able to attach the exported files to an email and send to a friend!

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll normally be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Answering quickly, the formats an iPod can play can be found in the specifications:

What file format can import?

imovie version is 7.1. I downloaded some clips from my cell phone onto hard drive and they show up as quick time files, play without difficulty on quicktime player. However, imovie won't import them, says they are not compatible. ?What file formats are compatible? ?Why would apple put quicktime and imovie on my hard drive, but not have them able to use same file type?
If it is important to know, I imported the files from my cell phone's card; I don't have a cable to attach my phone to USB so I don't have a way to directly try to download from the phone to computer. ?would I be able to import the files from my card to imovie?
any other solutions?
all help much appreciated

The MPEG4 video codec should probably work. However, the audio codec looks like a proprietary codec that is unlikely to work. But it is good news that it will play in QuickTime Player. If QuickTime can read it, you should be able to convert it to a format that iMovie can handle.
You could do this with QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple). But there is a free program called MPEG Streamclip (from Squared 5) that will do this. Drag you clip into MPEG Streamclip and then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose h.264 or mp4 as your video codec. Choose uncompressed, or AAC, or AIFF, or MP3 as your video codec. AIFF is most likely to work. Keep the dimensions of the clip at "current".
Be aware that your file is about a quarter of the resolution of a standard definition TV set, so don't expect it to look great. But if you plan to look at it online rather than on a TV or DVD, it should be fine.

What file formats should I use for maps?

I've come to the IL forum simply because of the number of file formats IL will process. My question however is more generic to file formats.
I work with a large local county government (just as a citizen) and one of the projects we're working on is to get a full suite of maps (and other GIS output) for distribution. Although they will be made available online, the intent is to print/plot.
For some maps, we'll want to have the capability to add vector graphics (ovals, rectangles, text, arrows) for highlighting.
The intent is for the county to provide machine readable GIS output so that we can do our own printing (via Kinkos for example). We'll also be putting the maps online although only for simple viewing and downloads.
What file format(s) should I ask to have the map sets in?
Because I'm a novice when it comes to understand which format to ask for I've done some homework on jpg, tiff, gif, etc. I think IL will take in any of them and that's where any vector graphics would be added (for print destined output). I also have FW which could be used for web destined output if needed.
What is most important is the quality of the printed output so I'm assuming dpi is going to be important. I'm also assuming that we'll ask for the output to be intended for a rather large plot (e.g. 36" x 48" or perhaps even larger) even though we may not actually produce a map of that size. For what I've learned on this and other Adobe forums, no matter what file size and format we get, printing to larger paper will eventually lose visible resolution thus the intent to start with the largest we'd ever print. We might have circumstances where we would crop but again understand what can happen when blowing those up.
One option, of course, is to have the county produce PDFs. Is that a good idea for our purpose meaning do we lose anything to have the file format generally acceptable? I'm assuming somewhere along the process we'll need to produce pdfs for downloads but that may not be the best format to get from the GIS output.
Keep in mind that we don't have GIS software at present. In the future we may move to using a GIS viewer which would mean we would have file generation capabilities, but for now, we're going to have to handle non-gis output files.
I'm not even sure I'm asking the question well so feel free to educate me along the way. I'm interested in learning.

(pricy) I know that may sound strange given having CS2,
Yep. Sure does. Plus:
So in comparing prices, be sure to include the costs of the third-party plug-in route, such as MAPublisher (and the associated headaches of mission-critical dependence upon third-party add-ons in general).
Since IL can take in pdfs and can add vector markup
Working with PDFs is pretty much universal these days, for practical purposes.
Understand this about PDFs and Illustrator: Illustrator's Save As...PDF dialog provides an option for "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities." Selecting that option actually embeds in the resulting file a full duplication of the file as native Illustrator objects. That results in very bloated PDF file sizes--because they contain two full copies of the file.
That's not what you want to do for PDFs that will be distributed/downloaded. So you're going to want to keep your AI-native files separate anyway. Opening a PDF that was saved without that option turned on in Illustrator is pretty much the same thing as opening it other mainstream drawing progams. So the "seamlessness" of PDF/Illustrator is really much about marketing.
But no matter. Your mind is already made up to use AI for this. If it were me, I'd be exploring all options.

What file format should I digitize film to ?

I'm having some old 16 mm film footage digitized (by a film lab), and am wondering what format(s) to have it done in. I'm sending them a portable drive to download the files. I want a good quality digital master for archival purposes, but would also like to have a file format which I can import into iMove'9 to do a basic edit.

It depends.
If the lab can do High Definition, get Motion JPEG if they can do it. Get Apple Intermediate Codec if they can do it. Motion JPEG-A is about the most you can do in iMovie. If you have Final Cut Pro and a fast machine, you can ask for uncompressed video.
If they can only do standard definition, DV is OK.
I recently had some 8MM scanned by MyMovieTransfer .com (Debenham Media Group). They did a nice job and gave me Motion Jpeg-A.
[Here is a link to the thread where I describe the experience and show some videos.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11353762&#11353762]
On their site, they have some sample 16MM footage in Motion JPEG. You can download it and test it on your iMovie.

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

What file format(s) does iPod classic accept?

I'm copying my LPs, using a USB turntable and recommended software. I've been saving the tracks to .AIFF format. Interestingly, when imported to iTunes, this format plays back on my MacBook Air and iPhone (5C), but not on my iPod classic. In fact, it renders the iPod inoperable (requiring reset). What file format (e.g. MP3, MP4, etc.) should I use?

From the Technical specifications;
Audio
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
However, if your iPod is having issues with AIFF format, perhaps your software isn't encoding the files correctly. MP3 is a universal format used by all players, so use that. Apple's preferred format is AAC, but not all non-Apple players can play AAC files. Do not use .wav unless you really need to, it creates very large files to which you cannot add artwork.

What files formats does Itunes support

what files formats does Itunes support???
Been trying to load some anime into Itunes and they wont play on my Apple Tv, though they play on the computer. Why is that. I've got codes and all that other jazz. What gives....

iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not QuickTime, these features will not work with these QuickTime components. As of Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of iTunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default iTunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3.[citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding.
The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft.[34]
In addition to importing CDs into the iTunes library, the user can also import non-Apple mp3 files from Amazon.com and other sources. This can be accomplished by either right clicking on the file, selecting open with, and then selecting iTunes or dragging the file into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, for Amazon.com mp3s, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically import the mp3 files into the iTunes library.

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

The encoding for Windows Azure Media Services is currently based on Expression Encoder. Expression Encoder's supported list is at

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running on?
What are the properties of the media that you have on the Timeline and what is the project preset?
In the absence of details such as that, I would generalize and suggest that, if applicable for your version, look at
sharing opportunities under ...Computer/AVCHD and the presets there which are applicable to your situation.
And, be aware that you can change those settings, if necessary, under the Advanced Button of the preset
selected.
Please review and then do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written. But, please do
include the details mentioned.
Thanks.
