Hello, when attempting to open a dpx file in Photoshop 22.1.1, I get the following message: "the file-format module cannot parse the file." I can however open the same file no problem in another app (XnView MP).

Can anyone help?

Try opening it in Adobe After Effects instead.

Thanks, Jane. That worked! Any idea of why it wouldn't open in Photoshop?

You're welcome, @Michele5FE2 .

 

The short answer is that it's not supported in Photoshop. You can ask the product developers here, or add it as a feature request:

@jane-e I just downloaded a sample dpx file and it opened up fine in Photoshop
