I know this message from wrong tiff or targa footage
Saving the file in photoshop again, normaly does the trick.
I only don't understand why you say "exporting the project"
Do you mean "render a movie"? (apple-m)

Sorry about that. That is what I meant to say. So if I save the original image as a .psd that should do the trick? Once again thank you for your help

is your source file a still frame or a sequence? i have sequence files getting the same error message. would you bring sequence files to photoshop and re-save it? what would be the work flow this? i would imagine you'd use the automatic feature in photoshop...

I've followed the guidelines listed in this post to no avail. Even after importing to Photoshop and re-saving a file as .TIF AND .JPG, my files will not import to AE. I've imported other .tif and .jpg to be sure they worked okay and they did. I don't understand why I cannot get this logo to import? It was created on a MAC. I checked PC when I re-saved it. And I can also see it in the thumbnails just fine.

[ladorn45]"The file format module could not parse the file"....
Typically -- okay, a few versions of AE ago -- a parsing error in still footage meant that it was made in CMYK color and not RGB. Did you check that?
