How to Edit Videos Using Adobe Photoshopwww.sleeklens.com
In this video, I will show you how to edit your videos using Adobe Photoshop. A lot of people know Photoshop as a powerful photo editor tool, but it is also a way to edit short snippets of videos. Technically you can create a whole video project using Adobe Photoshop but do little small clips using your iPhone or GoPro; you can make really professional looking edited videos. I will show you how to do that really quick.
The only thing I will do is open a video which I took using my iPhone. You will need to upload your video in Photoshop, and once it’s loaded, you need to open it by going to File > Open. Once it opens, the video will look a little different from normal video of Photoshop. You will have a timeline down the panel, and this detects when a video is imported. You will also have other necessary functions including play, rewind, clipping, transitions and audio tracks among other things every editor would have. The aim of this editing is to make the video better than it is.
Before doing any adjustment to the video, you need to make a smart object out of the video layer. I will right-click on the video and ay convert to smart object. You will notice it turns purple at the bottom. If you did any adjustments before doing the smart object, it would make adjustments to one particular frame in the video and nothing else. However, with this done, we will make edits to the whole video.
You can go down to Photo filter and do all other things that you normally do to a photo during the editing including adding a Photo filter and warm it up a little. One of my favorite things to do, since I am familiar with the process, is to open Camera Raw by going to Filter > Camera Raw Filter. From here I can play with the normal edits such as increasing the highlights and contrasts, but the only bad thing when editing a video is that you cannot scroll through your video as you are editing it. You only see one frame.
I will warm up the photo a little bit, increase the vibrancy and I can even change the colors of my leaves as much as I can. I will take my colors and play around with them, take exposure up a little bit, increase or decrease the clarity a bit and these are just the basic edits that I do when I am editing my photos. Once I am satisfied with the results I see from my editing, I will click ok. If the results we get are satisfying and we would like to use them, then we will export it by going to File > Export > Render Video. By so doing, a dialogue box will open which gives you more options that you would if you exported it in JPEG but here we have the document size as 1920 by 1080, and I make sure that it says “All Frames.” I will then choose a spot to export it to, and I will choose my Desktop and then click “Render”. With this done, what Photoshop will be doing is rendering all the edits, and you can clearly see the before and after video side by side.
This is a very easy way to edit your videos if you are not familiar with editing, but you are familiar with Photoshop. It’s a really good way to color grid and play with colors as you edit videos as you edit photos.
