Fun Fact: Photoshop doesn't like compression

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot read your AVI files if you encoded them in VirtualDubMod. Then again, I only tried Lagarith and Huffyuv (the 'lossless compression' codecs) but from what I've seen you can't compress them and then run them through PS and still expect to see any of the video.

I didn't see this listed anywhere when I searched for it, so I'm assuming it's either not extremely common knowledge or that I'm doing something wrong when I open or import a clip.

Ehr, well, Photoshop is an image editor, not a video editor... if you want to edit videos, you should use Premiere instead.

I only had enough to buy one or the other, so I went with it.

I mean, theoretically, with Photoshop, you CAN edit video (with CS3), I just definitely wouldn't recommend it. But yeah if you're going to import video, it pretty much needs to be Uncompressed. Just don't expect to import audio to actually time it to anything.

You can use photoshop in combination with WMM and create an effects-based video.

Specifically,

# Read files "100.jpeg" through "199.jpeg" into an NTSC clip
ImageSource("%d.jpeg", 100, 199, 29.97)
# Note: floating-point fps available in v2.56

I think I can manage that.
