To import a video into Photoshop, simply open the video file using the "File > Open" command. Photoshop will then load the video and automatically create a new video document based on the video's settings.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Open Photoshop: Launch Adobe Photoshop on your computer.
-
Go to File > Open: Click on the "File" menu at the top of the screen, and then select "Open."
-
Locate and Select the Video File: A file explorer window will appear. Navigate to the location where your video file is stored, select the video file, and click "Open."
-
Photoshop Loads the Video: Photoshop will import the video. This might take a few moments depending on the video's size and your computer's performance.
-
Timeline Opens: Photoshop automatically opens the Timeline panel (if it's not already open, go to Window > Timeline). The video will appear as a layer in the Layers panel and as a sequence of frames in the Timeline panel.
Now you can edit the video, add effects, and work with individual frames directly within Photoshop.
