About video layers in Photoshop Extended
For a video on working with video layers, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0027.
You can use Photoshop Extended to edit individual frames of video and image sequence files. In addition to using any Photoshop tool to edit and
paint on video, you can also apply filters, masks, transformations, layers styles, and blending modes. After making edits, you can save the
document as a PSD file (that can be played back in other Adobe applications such as Premiere Pro and After Effects or accessed as a static file in
other applications), or you can render it as a QuickTime movie or image sequence.
Note: You can work only with the visual images in a video file, not the audio.
When you open a video file or image sequence in Photoshop Extended, the frames are contained within a video layer. In the Layers panel, a video
layer is identified with a filmstrip icon . Video layers let you paint and clone on individual frames using the brush tools and stamp tools. Like
working with regular layers, you can create selections or apply masks to restrict your edits to specific areas of a frame. You navigate through the
frames using the timeline mode in the Animation panel (Window > Animation).
Note: Video layers do not work when the Animation panel is in Frame mode.
You work with video layers just like regular layers by adjusting the blending mode, opacity, position, and layer style. You can also group video
layers in the Layers panel. Adjustment layers let you apply color and tonal adjustments non-destructively to the video layers.
If you prefer to make your frame edits on a separate layer, you can create a blank video layer. Blank video layers also let you create hand-drawn
animations.
Note: A video layer references the original file, so that edits to the video layer don't alter the original video or image sequence file. To maintain
the link to the original file, ensure that it remains in the same location relative to the PSD file. For more information, see
layer (Photoshop Extended).
