@smudgeILY Fancy seeing you on here lolz xD

[TechGeek95]

@smudgeILY Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe then open the Photoshop folder and then scroll down and find the Photoshop application and open it.

[illyne1]

@TechGeek95 After opening it. what we're going to do next?

[TheSiignne]

my video is in a MOV format and still doesnt work :/

[TechGeek95]

@heartlessatheart Try downloading a free video converter that works with mov files. Google search "leawo avi to mov"

[heartlessatheart]

my videos weren't working in .avi so i tried .mp4 and they still don't work? the animation screen is all white and my video converter doesn't convert to .mov

what can i do? :/

[TechGeek95]

@GoldCoastFaggets Yeah, you have to have them in .mov or .mp4 for Photoshop to accept it.

[aljazy3]

I do exactly everything like you, but when I open the video all what I get is a white blank page, do you know why? how can I fix it ?

[TechGeek95]

@aljazy3 Is your video in .mov or .mp4 format?

[CherieSimonRitchie]

how do you open up photoshop in 64 bit....

[TechGeek95]

@CherieSimonRitchie This doesn't work in 64 bit so you need to open in 32 bit. If you are on windows just go to the program files > adobe > Photoshop CS5 and there should be 2 options. 64 bit and 32 bit.

[motorcitymoxie]

@TechGeek95 How about on a Mac? I don't see the 32bit option. Is it because I'm using the trial version?

[TechGeek95]

@motorcitymoxie Quit Photoshop if it is running.

Choose Go > Applications from the Finder menu.

The Applications Folder will open.

Find the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Application folder and open it.

Click once on the Adobe Photoshop CS5.app file.

Choose File > Get Info from the menu.

Check the "Open in 32-bit Mode"

[motorcitymoxie]

@TechGeek95 Thx for the rapid response. It's a go! But, I had to right-click on it from to get the 32-bit box. couldn't get it from the file menu.

[TechGeek95]

@motorcitymoxie No problem :) It must be because we're using different versions of OSX.

[motorcitymoxie]

@TechGeek95 is there a way to make a gif from a YT vid that's no mine without use a separate site like gifsoup? Can I do it in photoshop?

[TechGeek95]

@motorcitymoxie Well, you would have to download the video using a Youtube video downloader. Then convert it to the right file format and then use Photoshop to make the gif.

[TechGeek95]

@1991ENIGMA Using mov or mp4 video works the best. try that and if it doesn't work let me know.
