    Make sure it was made on a Mac and that you’re not using 16-bit.

    All the best,

    Open it in PS on a Mac, then re-save. It should then open with layers in FCP. Remember to flatten each layer if you have applied FX or styles to them in PS or it won’t translate over.

    Good luck!

    Save each layer as a separate PSD file and import them into FCP. That’s the only solution you have.

    I know the answer to this one. make sure it is an 8-bit file. I’ve had the same problem before. Doesn’t amtter if its from PC or Mac.

    BTW, when you say you don’t see the layers, do you mean that when you double click on the “sequence” of the psd, there is only one video track in the timeline? Or, do you mean that you only see one psd file in your bin?
