Video Editing in Adobe Photoshop

As a graphics editing program developed by Adobe Systems, Adobe Photoshop is mostly regarded as the most wonderful image editing tool ever. Cropping, slicing, drawing, typing and many other editing functions are all available in this software for image. However, Adobe Photoshop can also be a video editing tool for you to do some basic editing effects as well-help you create and enhance visual effects and motion graphics, or to prepare still images and text for inclusion in video projects.

As to the video editing function, it is an extend edition to Adobe CS5/6, which is comprehensive and efficient with a broad compatibility of video file formats such as MOV, AVI, FLC, MPEG-4, and FLV formats and easy workflow. Video layers can be easily modified, with features like adding text and the animating singe images, by using the simple combination of keys. Besides, 2D elements of an artwork could be turned into 3D version without efforts. In this Adobe CS5 extended edition, extrusions of texts, an available library of materials for three-dimensional and even wrapping two-dimensional images around 3D geometry are all possible.

It is still a shot to people to see standard and extended versions of Photoshop version5/6 have video import and editing capabilities, with a video editing timeline in it. It is quite easy to import videos into Adobe Photoshop, similarly to adding images into Photoshop. Importing the videos from your devices to a new Photoshop document, and then going back to the import dialog to select the second option for any subsequent videos, which is simple, one video each time, is all you need to do for video input.

With this video editing function, your videos can be adjusted in a better way. Color and exposure adjustments, as well as layers, work just how you’d expect them to. If you like, you can add borders, textures, filters, and even audio tracks to your video according to your preference. Once the editing is finished, you’re presented with just a handful exporting options. It's no Premier, Final Cut, or even iMovie, but Photoshop aficionados will feel right at home inside the new video editor.

22 years have passed since 1990; Adobe Photoshop has always been the best image editing tool around the world. The 6 versions during the past two decades also show how Photoshop improves, with more features & functions added and modified each time. Video editing certainly outstands among these astonishing developments.
