Can I bring an animation from Photoshop into iMovie?

I wanted to know if you can bring an animation made in Photoshop, into iMovie? I'm making a video in iMovie and I really need this animation in the video but I don't know if it's possible.

No.
You have to make (export) from iPhoto to make the video first.

Importing transparent logo from photoshop into Motion 1.01..

I am trying to import a transparent logo into motion that I did in photoshop..
No matter how I save it in photoshop, when I import in motion it always comes up with white background and never just the logo.. I have tried clicking on the Alpha type in the inspector and then dragging it on to the stage but no luck!!
Not sure if there is even a way to do it? I have the logo and have it as a png, psd and .targa but cant get it so its just the logo..?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much in advance..

Please, a DEFINITIVE ANSWER: import logos from Photoshop w/ no background

Hi,
I've scoured these forums for a solution to this question and as of yet have found nothing fully answered or easily interpretable. For the benefit of myself and those others who have asked the question to little or no avail, PLEASE offer your insights on how to import a logo from Photoshop into FCP so that it has no white, black, or any kind, of background (i.e. that it exists on a transparent canvas in both Photoshop and FCP, so that when you place it on your timeline, superimposed over footage, you will not see that it appears set against a white rectangle or square, in the shape of the canvas on which the image appeared in Photoshop.)
Now, let's presuppose I'm an idiot -- which is, in truth, pretty accurate. I'm gonna need basic terminology. Tell me what buttons to push. What file type to export from Photoshop (I'm hoping you will say TARGA). And please, above all, try to avoid cryptic tech language such as "you must first decapulate the vector-field" and whatever...that stuff reads like hieroglyphics to me.
I am running FCP 4 and some recent version of Photoshop (I'm not at my computer at the moment but I'm not sure what tremendous difference the version number might make).
And of course, thanks in advance for an help and insight you might be able to offer.
Cheers

First, you really need to make sure your logo file actually AHS a transparent background. If is doesn't start a new Photoshop document WITH a transparent background and drag the contents from the original logo file to the new PS document. If a background os present, select it with one of the select tools (I use Color Range quite often for this) and delete it. Save the new PS document in a format that supports transparency such as TIF or PSD.
import the new PS document into FCP.

Exporting links from Photoshop into a PDF (Rich Content PDF?)

Hi there,
I built my resume in Photoshop and typically I've been exporting to a PDF and then handling link creation within Adobe Acrobat itself. I'm wondering if there's a way to streamline this process such that links can be created within Photoshop and exported directly into the PDF file. This would save me the hassle of recreating links in Acrobat every time I modified the resume in Photoshop.
I've read about a Rich Content PDF extension/extra that is typically located in the Extras folder. I was able to successfully locate it and have Photoshop use it, but I don't know how to get links to actually be recognized by this plugin. My original hypothesis was to use slices (designating a region as a slice and then assigning it a link), but the Rich Content PDF export option did not recognize links through slices. Is there another way to do this or another way to create links in Photoshop such that it can be exported to a PDF (either through this plugin or otherwise)?
Thanks!

And what program would you recommend?
In addition, the resume is already created in the program I'm comfortable with - I'm certainly not opposed to picking up a new tool and learning how to use it, but my question specifically was simply asking if there was a way to export links from Photoshop into a PDF as that would be the most time-efficient.

Workflow from Photoshop into Premiere

I want to take some still photos from Photoshop and bring them into a Premiere 1920 x 1080 sequence.
My plan is to do some basic color correcting and to then crop the images to 1920 x 1080 and save them as either tiffs or psd files for import into Premiere.
1. Is there a built in way to go back-and-forth between Photoshop and Premiere?
2. Which color profile should images be saved with from Photoshop to Premiere?
3. Is it problematic to bring in lots of images that are much larger than the sequnce settings in Premiere? So as an example, if the settings are 720 x 480 and I import 100 1920 x 1080 images, I'm guessing they will all display correctly in the sequence, though they just add extra file size? OR does it cause problems to bring in larger images than is necessary?
Thanks.

This is something I do often. I would do your color correction in Photoshop and save as PSD's. I would import in PPRO as native PSD's. The reason I like to do this is because if I want to go back and modify the color it's as simple as doing an "edit original", making your modifications and saving the file and the file will update in PPRO.
Also if you export the photo sizes larger than the frame size of your sequence, it may be handy if you plan to pan, zoom and animate the photos. I personally always tend to bring them in larger than the sequence settings specifically for this reason.
Hope that helps.

Importing a logo from photoshop in FC

I can't seem to get a logo that came from photoshop to look correct in FC.
I would like to use it like a bug in the lower right corner. I have tried importing several different ways. It either has a white background that I can't get rid of or looks transparent but looks bad, unreadable.
What is proper way to do this so it it is just my logo over top of the video. Think of network bugs in the corners of the frame.
Help

I used it as a jpeg, a psd and I think a tiff and it did not have any background.
When I dropped it into the canvas and onto the timeline it was really distorted. It didn't have a background but it didn't look right. The ones that did have a background looked alright, but had the unwanted background.
It did not have any other layers but it did have some layer styles. Drop shadow and something else I can't remember right now. I did render it too, no help.
Any thoughts?

Help me import images from Photoshop into a Premiere Elements project!

How do I add photos from Photoshop to existing Premire Elements project.

If you have edited the Images in Photoshop, just Save_As PSD (or TIFF). Set the Still Duration to the desired time, in PrE's Edit>Preferences. Then, Import them into PrE. From the Project Panel, just drag the Image(s) to the Timeline, and to an appropriate Video Track. Say, if you want to place the Image between Clips, just drag it there, and the rest of the Clips/Images on that Video Track will Ripple.
If you want to replace parts of a Clip, with that Image, just hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag to the appropriate location.
If you want to overlay it, with an existing Clip, just place it onto a higher Video Track. Note: this yields the same general result, as the method above.
I strongly suggest that you Scale your Image in Photoshop, to match, or nearly so, the Frame Size of your Project's Preset.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Saving a file directly from Photoshop into Aperture

I am interested in saving a file while in Photoshop back in to Aperture. Proposed workflow:
Load digital file from camera into Aperture>Drag file to CS3; edit/print>save new file in same folder as the original in Aperture.
I would like to do this directly- I can save the edited file in CS3 to my desktop and then go to Aperture and import the file from my desktop but this seems arcane to me. Anyone know a direct route?
Thanks in advance- Jay

BUT, you must save the Photoshopped image using Save (not Save As using a new name or saving to a new location) so that a Photoshop file is saved back in the Aperture library. It would be nice if you could use the Apple-Shift-O to open in Photoshop, and save back as a Jpeg automatically, but we're not quite there yet.
Those full size Photoshop files will swell your library size pretty quick, which is a good thing; you'll begin to appreciate non destructive editing more fully

Dragging text from Photoshop into iweb

Try making it larger than you need it in Photoshop, and then resize it in iWeb. This will make it a clearer image.

Help loading an image from photoshop into flash..

I have a script written that will take an image open in photoshop, save a copy of it (as a jpeg), and I want to
open that file in a new flash window that I open. The property app.activeDocument.full name does not actually return
the full name, it returns "~/Desktop/Pictures/fileName.jpg", instead of "C:/Users/me/Desktop/Pictures/fileName.jpg".
I know I can do an image import from flash, but I would rather pass the information directly to the flash.
How can I pass the absolute file path to the flash from photoshop?

app.activeDocument.fullName.fsName will get you the full path to the file but if the document has not been saved it will throw an error.

Not so sure can copy pattern from photoshop into flash professional cs4

whether can i copy pattern from photoshop in flash
professional cs4

app.activeDocument.fullName.fsName will get you the full path to the file but if the document has not been saved it will throw an error.

AE does no longer support PS video. This feature has been removed due to technical issues. You have to render the video from PS to a clip or image sequence and import that into AE.

Importing an image from photoshop into FCP7

Hello
I have some images in photoshop that I need to bring into FCP7...I need them to look transparent so the image (video) can be seen. The images are coffee stains .I need to know how I import them. Any help would be great. I have imported images before but I think these have to be on layers to get the transparent look.The images are in layers? Do I import the layers?
Question 2.
I have a plugin and need to import it into my filters in FCP7..I know this should be easy but could someone help with that also...
Question 3.
Does anybody have any advice about Luca visual effects?
thank you
philip

If you want transparency, make an Alpha channel or put the objects on a transparent background in Photoshop. You must save the images in a format that supports transparency such as TIFF.
You import them by clicking the Import Files button or simply drag onto the FCP Browser from the Finder.
2. A regular plug in or an FXPlug plugin?
3. No. Why not use the Contact link on his website and ask the man himself? http://www.lucavisualfx.com/contact.htm

Will images be dupliated when imported from Photoshop into iphoto?

I have a simple question really, I use photoshop CS3 to edit and catalogue all my photos but I use iphoto to store images that I upload to .mac gallery and other websites.
What I need to know is, does iphoto duplicate my copy in photoshop when I import it into the app?. Or is there just one location where both apps access it??I don't really want two copies of an image if I can help it! Thanks.

I suggest you use iPhoto to manage your photos with a "managed" library and use Photoshop as your editor from within iPhoto. That way you get the best of both worlds.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
