The EXCAM f= ootage (HD, 1920x1080, 24p) plays fine in Quicktime player and plays inside= Photoshop as well once imported. But after applying the filter -- which al= so plays properly in Photoshop -- and saving the composition as a psd file,= I then try to open the psd file in After Effects, I get an error message t= hat says "Quicktime is not installed or is too old of a version (39::0)." I= have considered rendering the Photoshop comp as video, but I notice that u= nless I want an image sequence (which I don't) my export options are limite= d to a couple of OT animation flavors or jpeg 2000. I see no place in the = Photoshop render dialogue box to access Quicktime settings and choose anoth= er codec. (An Apple Pro Res proxy might work just fine, for example.) So I'= m making this a Photoshop question because I think there's something about = Photoshop that is making the file unrecognizable to After Effects. After Ef= fects does import a single frame of the image with the filter applied. (Yes= , I am converting the video to a smart object before applying the filter.) = Any thoughts? +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to
