I'm trying to open my video to make a gif, but the video in the screen is all white. How do i fix that?

This means that your video format isn't the right one. There are only few formats that work for photoshop.

Found this on the internet:
MPEG‑1
MPEG‑4
MOV
AVI
FLV from QuickTime is supported if you have Adobe Flash 8 installed.
MPEG‑2 is supported if an MPEG‑2 encoder is installed on your computer.

i had it in AVI already. but i fixed it. thanks though.

i have it in AVI but it doesnt work with me :/

Oh I figured it. It has to be a mov.file, so you'll have to convert.

You're working with CS4 on Windows 7? Then I have a question for you, if you don't mind?

[jonasxbabe]

yes?

I just upgraded to CS4 when I bought my new laptop a few weeks back after having used CS2 for the last two years. When I try to make .gifs in house, that window doesn't come up at all; all files are automatically opened in a standard canvas. Did you have to do anything specific, open things a certain way, for it to work?

I go to File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. The video is has to be in one of these formats.
MPEG‑1
MPEG‑4
MOV
AVI

There are converters online that you can get to do that with your video. But that's how i do it.
