I'm in Photoshop Film & Video.  I'm trying to copy and paste frames from one file to another.  When I try pasting them, I get this error:

"Could not complete the Paste Frames command because of a program error."

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thank you!

What do you mean by that?   It sounds like you may be creating a Frame animation.  Do you have a frame animation timeline is both documents so you can copy and paste frames between the two Photoshop documents?

A screen capture showing Photoshop window and the error massahe may help I know what you are doing. Photoshop is not a file editor Photoshop is a document editor that can save many file types some of which are video file types.

Hi JJMack, thank you for your response.  Yes, I'm trying to create a frame animation.  I'm trying to copy and paste frames between two different Photoshop documents, but I keep getting an error message.  Here are some screenshots.

From you screen capture it looks like you are doing it correctly.  However it look like you are trying to copy and paste a single frame that looks empty. If that is the case that may be the problem for there are no pixels to copy the frames composite contains nothing
