If anyone reads this then it might be useful to know that to add effects I had to add an adjustment layer. I spent hours battling with my computer and ending up with only one frame edited. The add adjustment button is on at the bottom of the Layers window. It looks like a circle which is half black, half white, cut diagonally across
Thanks for the tutorial. Something I am stuck on though is blurring the image. I want to add lens blur to my video to make it look out of focus. Whatever I do just results in the first frame of the video being blurred. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was told from my professor that you can do this. I didn't believe him at first, but because you posted this, I now know what to do for my class demonstration. The video filters are pretty cool as well. Great way to fix problems made on a video camera.
Thanks a lot for these guidelines! Just got CS5 extended (trial) and that is the first clear set of instructions I found on how to do something useful with my videos. I was wondering if I should buy the extended or standard edition of CS5. Now I know I need the extended version as I will be able to edit my videos with it. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great intro to video in P-Shop. Here's a tip that may save some time/headaches for others...
I'm using CS4 and tried to apply a plug-in to all frames of a video. One would think it would work the way adjustment layers do, but it doesn't; I found that it wouldn't apply the plug-in effect to _any_ frame (including the preview frame) if I just opened the video file and added the effect. Instead, I had to make the changes I wanted to see into an action, and then perform a "batch" of 1 file (the .mov file). Then it worked. Beautifully.
Of course, the old-school way of doing this is just to Export->Still Image Sequence from Final Cut, and then perform the action to the batch of still images that FC exported. Doing it in Photoshop just saves you a step, and saves the video a generation level.
hi i am using CS3 extended and im having problems, all i wanted to do was up the contrast but i cant get it to stay past the first frame. is there something i need to select in order to apply it to the whole video?
i go to the top and click on layers and the words video layer or anything similar is not here how can i get it in there. also, my help button for photoshop tells me i cant get help without being on the internet but as you can see i am on the internet. plz contact me at Fuller28@rocketmail.com plz hurry i have an assignment that is about to be due.
I think I followed all your instructions, used S/H, increased saturation, and Curves to reduce contrast further. I exported/rendered the video before and after merging adjustment layers with the video layer, before and after converting the video to a Smart Object. In all cases the first frame ONLY was changed at all. What did I miss? Thanks, John
What a wonderful thing. I can of new this, but was under the impression the each frame had to edited separately. Guess I'm really "ole School." I am still learning lots of NEW things about PhotoShop, but this, by far is the best. It will definetly help will all the visoe I always wanted to color correct and adjust the lighting.
Thanks a lot, but...
There's still something wrong with the color correction -- that gator is white! ;)

Heh. Actually it's a "Leucistic White alligator." (Not albino.) More info on them:

With this, DSLRs that shoot video and final cut, soon all traditional movie making equipment will be obsolete!

Awesome!
However, how would I deal with the sounds? I rendered the video after editing... But I heard no footprints of any sound.
video editing in photoshop
this is great information! It would have helped on my last video project.
Thanks!
lens blur
Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial. Something I am stuck on though is blurring the image. I want to add lens blur to my video to make it look out of focus. Whatever I do just results in the first frame of the video being blurred. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't even...speak.
I can't even...speak. Photoshop ceases to amaze me. Thank you so much for sharing this, you are a wonderful teacher.
Smart Object
You need to convert the video into a smart object before you can apply effects to the entire video. This is a great post though. peri.moritz
A bunch of thanks

Thanks for your article
I just spent hours trying to find something to tell me if I could edit videos with photoshop CS5 extended. then I found yours. Thank you so, so much!
Adjustments affected 1st frame only
I think I followed all your instructions, used S/H, increased saturation, and Curves to reduce contrast further.

In all cases the first frame ONLY was changed at all. What did I miss? Thanks, John
