I am an idiot.

I have a very old copy of Photoshop installed on the G5 (v8)

I didn’t think you could open files created in newer version of a program in an older version…

Looks like you can! Opened, re-saved & I’m good to go in FCP.

So it definitely must be a cross OS issue…

Nothing to see here, please move along 🙂

I too am tearing my hair out trying to solve this exact same problem.

The test.psd ends up merged on my timeline as an image (icon with ABC rather than a sequence)

Running Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo running OSX 10.6.4

Final Cut Pro running on G5 Dual 2 PPC running OSX 10.4.11

I have done EVERYTHING outlined above, even before finding this thread.

Is the conclusion that the issue is an operating system mismatch?

I have multiple titles all with multiple layers that I wish to animate in FCP exporting each layer to TGA will take days, not to mention in turn re-aligning everything in FCP.

My poor hair…
