Video adjustments without image sequences - here's how...

[Phil Brown]

Have been looking at Photoshop CS3 Extended for video adjustments.

If you convert a video clip to a "smart object" (highlight the video layer, right-click and select "convert to smart object)you can adjust color, brightness, levels, use photo filters, etc etc and render to video without using image sequences.

Should save hours and hours of workflow.

can you save the video clip as a video clip from photoshop? It has video render capabilities now? That would be awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah - CS3 is slick. You can import and work with QT movies now instead of using image sequences. I haven't had a chance to play around with the animation functions of PS yet, but it looks like a bare bones (limited functions) version of AE built into PS.

Yes, photoshop has very simple video clip editing capability now - Adobe seem to be embedding more cross-functionality between applications - it's all good.

And here's the editing time-line - I have copied a second layer and edited the in-out points.

That's great. I have wanted to use so many filters from Photoshop on my video for such a long time. This kicks butt.

Now I just have to buy it.

maybe it's just disbelief or it's because I too have wanted this for a long time, step by step how do you do this.
