Even though Photoshop has offered video tools for several years, many users still don’t know they exist. But not only is it possible to edit video in Photoshop, it can also be a sensible way to work with moving images.
The great thing about using Photoshop for video is that you can take lots of the things you already know about editing photos, and apply them to video in a similar way. Your can use brilliant tools like the Camera Raw filter to tone your footage, and even add layer effects like Blending Modes to combine videos in creative ways. All that being said, just as many of us are photographers who dabble in a bit of video shooting, Photoshop is first and foremost about editing photos. The video tools can’t match those found in a dedicated editor like Premiere Pro, and we certainly wouldn’t suggest you attempt importing and editing together hours of video footage. But for short videos that need toning or effects, Photoshop is more than up to the job.
