Get the photoshop file to a state where you can import it (either by flattening layer groups or even reducing the resolution of the image). Once you are able to open it, start to un-do those changes and reimport until you can isolate the problem, be it a particular layer or sheer size or number of layers..

All,

I'm working on animating movie posters, so If often inherit incredibly complex 100+ layer photoshop files.

I have one now that I just cannot import into AE. It's 300MB file, but I've imported files 5 times that size before.

This one DOES have a dizzying amount of curves, levels, color fills and virtually every type of adjustment available. I've done my best to flatten as many sections as possible.

AE brings it in and I see the Comp and the folder, but then the black arrow cursor sits there with a white tip and doesn't change. A minute later I get the beach ball and have to force quit.

I've tried this with two different versions of AE on two different computers--same problem.

Is there some specific PS adjustment layer that is KNOWN to mess with AE?

I have 17GB allocated to AE, and cleared all the chaches and stuff.
