TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Whether you use Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro X, most of us only think of using Photoshop for still images. But, hidden deep inside the program is a frame-based video repair facility. This means that the same tools we use in Photoshop to fix still images can be used to fix problems with our video, including pixel-based editing.

In this video training, host Larry Jordan, shows how to use Bridge and Photoshop for video projects for integration into Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X. Learn how to:

• Use Bridge to find, review and annotate video
• Create still images that are properly sized for standard-def or high-def video
• Import multi-layer images into Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X
• Select and composite multi-layer images
• Repair damaged images
• Import video into Photoshop
• Create screen grabs from video
• Composite multiple video clips in Photoshop
• Clean up damaged video using Photoshop

This webinar only takes an hour, but it can save you DAYS in finding, fixing, and cleaning up your images.

NOTE: The Photoshop techniques shown in this video apply to all versions of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, starting with CS5. Video editing requires the Extended version of Photoshop, or the CC release.
