  • Photoshop CS2 Video Preview not working…….

    Posted by John Grilli on July 10, 2005 at 8:50 pm

    I just upgraded to Photoshop CS2 for it’s video preview capability and I can’t seem to get it to work, it just says “device not connected.” I have an AJA IO box connected via firewire. I can view After Effects without a problem so I must be missing something. Can anyone help? Photoshop is the only program running. Thanks in Advance.

    Make sure that Echo Fire isn’t running as well

    Also.. Apple video products interfere when in background.

    Be sure firewire device is running and pwered before launching PS

    Ensure you ahv QuickTime installed

    I have done all of the above, anything else?? Do I have to have Tiger installed? I’m running Panther 10.3.9. Is there something else on the install disk that I missed?

    Tested it throuroughly for weeks.

    Essentially

    Make sure Apple Video Apps or Echo Fire isn’t running
    Make sure Deck is on
    Choose the Video Prview one with teh elipse … Set your options
    Future Ones can use the other option (forgive me… on deadline for a book and to tired to walk over to the PS machine)

    if still no work: May want to reinstall QuickTime First, then PSCS2

    Thanks Richard for all of your help. Through hours of phone calls to Adobe and AJA, the problem lies in that it will output to a consumer DV source but not the AJA IO box. I was under the assumption that the Firewire output to the IO box would work. It does not work like the Adobe After Effects RGB output through firewire. I’m out of luck.

    Knew it didn’t work with my Kona card.. but that it would with the AJA…

    Would suggest Echo Fire then

    Also.. check out the video actions in CS2 and let me know your thoughts
