Photoshop CS5 animation/video project saved but error on reopening
Hey everybody,
I’m having trouble with a animation/video photoshop project that I save as a .psd but upon reopening it it gives me the error “Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop”…this makes no sense to me because I saved it with this version of photoshop.Here are the details:
Photoshop CS5 version 12
File was imported as a PRO RES 4444 .mov and project was saved as .psd with the following specs
1920×1080
Color space: RGB
Color Profile:sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Layers: 8 layers
No alpha channelI did some keyframing/compositing on the project using the 7 layers above the video file in photoshops animation tool. I’m baffled why when I add a layer it does want to reopen the project (i tested saving and opening the project after importing the video file and that worked fine).
If there’s any other info you need ask for it, thank you.

Bump.
This needs an answer, it’s bugging the hell outta me, there must be something I’m not doing correctly. -
Hello Greg, Im having the same problem here. I did an animation using photoshop a few days ago and was able to export it to AE. But now, I needed to revise my animations and couldn’t reopen the PSD file anymore. I receive the same error message as you did. Have you already found a solution to this? Looks like no one yet has replied to your concerns. Was hoping maybe you found a solution somewhere else or on your own. Would be glad to hear them. Thanks! – Ivan

I haven’t found a way around it in CS5 unfortunately. Since upgrading to CS6 though it seems to have been addressed.

hmm I see..so I think that concludes that there isn’t really a way to give us access to the original working PSD file with the video layers on using CS5 anymore.
What I did though was to import the exported image sequence from the original psd file and created a new project. Sadly, If you had adjustment layers and filters added to the video layers, its not undoable nor editable anymore. And also, if ever you might need to send the psd file and work on a different machine, it will look for the image sequence imported to that psd file. Which is a hassle for eating up additional space in a different location.
Anyway, thanks Greg for the quick response.
