Exchanging movies
You can also exchange video files, such as QuickTime movies, between Photoshop and Premiere Pro. When you open
a movie in Photoshop, a video layer is created that refers to the source footage file. Video layers allow you to paint
nondestructively on the movie’s frames. When you save a PSD file with a video layer, you are saving the edits that you
made to the video layer, not edits to the source footage itself.
You can also render a movie directly from Photoshop. For example, you can create a QuickTime movie from
Photoshop that can then be imported into Premiere Pro.
Color
Premiere Pro works internally with colors in an RGB (red, green, blue) color space. If you want to edit video clips you
create in Photoshop in Premiere Pro, you should create them in RGB.
If relevant for your final output, it is better to ensure that the colors in your image are broadcast-safe in Photoshop
before you import the image into Premiere Pro. A good way to do this is to assign the appropriate destination color
space—for example, SDTV (Rec. 601)—to the document in Photoshop.
