Image not opening upon importing
Trying to bring logo into FCP from Photoshop. I’ve taken a jpeg and cut the white background out. I have the logo on a transparent background and importing into FCP. When I try to open file, I get this message “Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.” “Error: Out of Memory.” I’m saving as psd.
I have done this numerous times before without this message and not sure why now I’m havin this problem. I’m happy to give more info as this may not be enough for troubleshooting.

One thing that will cause the out of memory error is a blank layer in the psd file… make sure you don’t have any.

Also make sure it’s not 16-bit per channel.
All the best,

If you don’t need the layers as separate elements, export as .PNG and see what happens (should work OK).

Thanks for the tips… file was 8 bit and only one layer. I cut the background so I just had the logo with transparent background , saved then imported. I must be missing something in photoshop as I save it to .psd, something for me to figure out later I guess.
I used .png and it worked fine, thanks.
