PSD import to Premiere
I’m having problems importing psd files to Premiere. Yesterday i can import without any problems. Now, I’m getting the message: unsupported file or corrupted file (can’t remember exactly), whenever I import. I tried opening the PSD file in my Photoshop, saving it with a different file name (but also as PSD since I need the alpha and layers) but still, I can’t import the file. What’s wrong? Thanks.

Make sure that your files are RGB. CYMK will not import.

Thanks Dave! I’ll try that right away!

Depending on what versions of PS and AP you have, Photoshop can produce .psd files that Premiere cant import, If “Maximize Compatibility” is turned off in Photoshop.

Just a quick note about using images in Premiere Pro, make sure you have the correct settings (pixel count) & aspect ratio to keep circles as circles and so on. Alpha channels are also kept in TIFF files and TGA’s. PSDs will come in as either sequences with the layers in them to use as a nest or as a flattened image. PSDs are also edit original compatible that allows you to open the original file in PS and make the changes to update in PPro.

Is there anything you’ve added to the PSD that would have changed anything? Perhaps you can create copies of the file and delete layers until you see something change…or import each layer separately from separate documents…
