Photoshop for Video
For all of you non linear editors out there, you'll deffinately want to take a look at the new Photoshop CS 3 application from Adobe.
The extended version of Photoshop CS 3 offers advanced compositing, 3D editing, and 'movie paint'. You can now open up movie files directly into Photoshop and apply filters directly to full motion video clips.
With previous versions of Photoshop, it was a somewhat difficult task to process video clips within Photoshop. It involved using droplets and actions to import an image sequence into Photoshop. Now, with CS 3 extended, things couldn't be an easier. Simply open your movie file directly into Photoshop and apply the filter(s) that you want. Then render out the final movie.
Since there are so many unique effects and filters within Photoshop, this really opens the door for some advanced compositing techniques that may not be readily available within your favorite non linear editing system.
GeniusDV now incorporates Photoshop for Video training into the Avid Xpress and Final Cut Pro training courses.
