Hi, i´m trying to import a PSD-file with timeline into AE.

After selecting the file in AE i got a error Quicktime not installed or version to old.

I found a post from 2012 for this issue an i wondering that there is no solution for this error.

This on Mac and on PC.

I there any bugfix or workaround to get a PSD-File with timeline into AE to continue

my work there.

Regards, Dirk

    If the Ps timeline has a video in it, it won't import correctly and you will get an error message and still frame instead of the video. unfortunately videos are not supported in crossing over from Ps-Ae. You could manually import the video to Ae instead.

    Thanks for your answer. It will be fine to get a understanding message and not a message that i´m using a incorrect Quicktime-Version.

    I have spent a lot of hours to search for a solution....

    If i know it i can better search for a workaround....

    Thanks Roei...

    I agree.

    Although, It does say in the Ae documentation

    https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/preparing-importing-still-images.html#preparing_and_importing_photoshop_files

    ( the resource you should check first) that Ps Video Layers are not supported , but that's not entirely correct: if the video layers contain animation drawn in Ps - it does work.

    You can report this in the Adobe wishform page. I would add my vote if you ask for fixing the error massage or better yet, support video in video layers, and post the link here.
