Open or import a video file
In Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Extended CS5, you can open a video file directly or add video to an open document. When you import video,
the image frames are referenced in a video layer.
For a video on working with video layers, see
1. Do one of the following:
To open a video file directly, choose File > Open.
To import video into an open document, choose Layer > Video Layers > New Video Layer From File.
2. In the Open dialog box, for Files Of Type (Windows) or Enable (Mac OS), choose either All Readable Documents or QuickTime Movie.
3. Select a video file and then click Open.
You can also open video directly from Bridge: select a video file and then choose File > Open With > Adobe Photoshop.
Import image sequences
In Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Extended CS5, when you import a folder of sequenced image files, each image becomes a frame in a video
layer.
For a video on image sequences, see
1. Make sure that the image files are in one folder and are named sequentially.
The folder should contain only those images you want to use as frames. The resulting animation will be more successful if all files have the
same pixel dimensions. To order frames correctly for the animation, name the files in alphabetical or numeric order. For example,
filename001, filename002, filename003, and so forth.
2. Do one of the following:
To open an image sequence directly, choose File > Open.
To import an image sequence into an open document, choose Layer > Video Layers > New Video Layer From File.
