You can also trim the adjustment layer to isolate the adjustment to certain parts of your video as shown below. Drag the bar all the way out to effect the entire video clip as shown below with a black and white adjustment layer. You will see a purple bar on the timeline. Drag your adjustment to the top of the layers panel and above the Video Group. (no arrow).Īlternatively, if you want to apply an effect to all the views, make an adjustment layer. If you want to apply the adjustment to multiple clips, then create it at the top of the video layer group and make sure the clipping group isn’t on. NOTE: more about using adjustment layers (tutorial continues on step 3). This clipping makes the adjustment layers only affect that layer directly under, and no other layers. Click the clipping button (at bottom of image) or place your cursor between the layer and the adjustment, hold alt/option and click. See the little arrows to the left of the adjustment layers? These clip it to the layer directly below it. Try adding a curves layer and brightening up the mids as shown. Where it says normal in the layers panel, click and change it to Soft Light, you have just changed the layer blending mode.ĭrop the opacity until it blends-in better like shown. Its bit too strong, we will fix it in the next step. To apply an adjustment layer: select the clip you want to apply the effect to in the Layers panel.Ĭhoose your adjustment Layer, in this case we are using Gradient Maps. Here is the video after applying the RAW adjustment (you can see all the settings in the video portion of this tutorial, at the top). However, once rendered, it will play back smoothly. ACR (Raw) will run a little slow on playback, because its a huge amount of data to compute. Now apply almost any filter you like to the video, even Camera RAW. Right click on the video layer in the Layers panel and choose Convert to Smart Object. (I go into much more depth in the video portion of this tutorial). You first have to convert to a Smart Object, otherwise the filter will only effect a single frame. You can add filters and Adjustment layers to video. Step 2, adding filters and effect to color grade the video Click on the music note and here you can adjust the audio, including a mute option. There is audio on this clip, we want to mute the sound. I shot this out of focus to create some nice bokeh effects. Try to tell a story with your video editing: a start, middle and end This is your first step, organize, order and trim you clips. A window will appear to preview the clip. Trim each clip by dragging on the start and end of each in the timeline. The bottom of the layer stack is the first clip, the top is the last clip. To change the order, either drag in the timeline, or in the layers panel. Here we have multiple clips on your timeline. You can select a single one, or multiple at once. To add more clips, click on the + to the left of the timeline. To shorten a video clip, drag on the end or the beginning. You want to shorten each clip to a few seconds, so you don’t bore your viewers. Photoshop will open the timeline (Window>Timeline) and create a new video document using the settings from the video clip.ĭrag the playhead to move (scrub) to different parts of the video.
To import a video into Photoshop, choose File>Open and select a video. For short clips, promos, ads, motion graphics, social media etc, Photoshop shines.
For full-length editing, you should use Premiere Pro. I have also taught this at Adobe MAX and Photoshop World. I’ve been experimenting so much with this that I have written a book with Peachpit Press – Video in Photoshop, as well as 2 video courses at PhotoshopCAFE, Video in Photoshop (companion for the book) and Making Movies in Photoshop. This is for all versions of Photoshop CC and works on Photoshop CS6 Extended. To see what’s possible, watch this tutorial and see the written steps below.
