Premiere is Adobe’s digital-video-editing program. You can import still images from Photoshop into Premiere and incorporate them with video sequences, sounds, and titles to create QuickTime, MPEG, AVI, RealMedia, or Windows Media movies. Save your images in RGB color mode and in the native Photoshop, PICT, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, Filmstrip, TGA, PCX, or BMP file format. By default, Premiere alters the size and aspect ratio of the image to match that of the video frame you specify for your video project. This can vary from 720 x 480 pixels, to 720 x 576, and so on, depending on whether your intended output is for NTSC, PAL, or multimedia. I recommend setting up your video project in Premiere first, and then sizing your still images in Photoshop to fit the exact aspect ratio of your video frame. That way, Premiere doesn’t have to do any sizing, your image quality remains the best possible, and you don’t have files that are larger than they need to be.
To make your preparation of still images for video easier, Photoshop has now provided a variety of video-sized presets. These are found in the New (File➪New) dialog box on the Presets pop-up menu. From this dialog box, you can also choose your desired Pixel Aspect Ratio, such as DI/DV NTSC and Anamorphic 2:1. You can also access these video format aspect ratios via the Image➪Pixel Aspect Ratio submenu. This enables you to view how a non-square document will appear on a device that uses non-square pixels, such as video monitors. These presets also include guidelines that show you the action safe and title safe areas of the image.
If your Photoshop file has layers, you can import the file as a merged file, or you can import just a single layer. Premiere will preserve any transparency on the layers. After the image is in Premiere, you can select it and choose Edit-->Edit Original. Photoshop launches, where you can make your necessary edits. Save and close the file, and it is automatically updated in Premiere. If you have problems importing a Photoshop file with multiple layers or layer masks, you may have to flatten the image before importing. Also note that Premiere does not support 16-bit images. You can edit individual frames in Premiere movies with Photoshop. Export a Premiere movie as a Filmstrip file format. In Photoshop, you can then apply filters or paint on the individual frames. Open the edited filmstrip in Premiere and convert it back into a QuickTime movie. Just make sure that you don’t resize, resample, change the color mode, or remove alpha channels in the Filmstrip file, or you won’t be able to save it back in a Filmstrip file format.
Third-Party Plug-Ins
There are more third-party Photoshop plug-ins than you can shake a big stick at. So don’t be surprised if you come across quite a few that aren’t listed here.
