Video Preview | Photoshop for Video | Adobe TV

In this Photoshop for Video podcast, Richard Harrington looks at the ability to export a video preview directly out of Photoshop directly to a monitor supporting SD input.

My version of Photoshop ( 13.0.1 x 64) doesn't have this option listed in the File/export menu. Am I missing something?

Great tutorial. When I build a timelapse I start by importing the image sequence and then make the proper frame size on export. Is there a benefit to creating a project at the proper frame size and rate first?
Thanks

A "must read"... Photoshop for Video

I highly recommend 'Photoshop for Video' by Richard Harrington (Focal Press) - 3rd edition.
I have never seen or read any better book on Photoshop for the video editor / artist. It is outstanding in the way this book relates PS to video and the technologies video editors work with.
Book relates PS to Premiere and After Effects mainly but also shows integration to Avid, FCP, Combustion etc.
Nice explanation how to set up PS for video and also how to get output to an external monitor. Great tips and ideas. Comes with a DVD full of resources.
A must have.

Craig,
Appreciate the rec.. With all of my PS tomes, none really cover PS for Video, and I had not seen this one. Even "Layers," and "PhotoShop" magazines, hardly cover the subject, concentrating more on print, or Web work. Heading to Amazon, as I type.

Preview / Thumbnails for videos not showing

Hello Guys,
I was hoping someone can help me.
I usually import photos from my Canon 400d and iPhone 4 and 3GS and it's been working fine for a long time. A couple of weeks ago, it stopped showing the thumbnails for photos and videos.
My settings for import are to render previews with minimal size (and has always worked great like that). If I try to render standard sized thumbs after import, sometimes it works, and sometimes it hangs with some photos. I can quickly fix that going into "Develop" mode where it creates the preview correctly.
But for videos, because you can't go into develop mode, it just hangs trying to build the previews.
Note that all videos previous to 07-22-2011 show the thumb correctly.
Some more info on my system and the things I've tried.
My system is a Macbook Pro 2.66 i7 with 8Gb DDR3
Lightroom 3.4.1 - 64 bits
Cameras Canon 400d, iPhone 4 & 3GS
I'm running Lion OS X now but I can see in my catalogue that the blank thumbnails start appearing a week before I upgraded.
My catalog is not too big, around 3K photos
I tried getting rid discarding all the 1:1 previews and rebulding them again. I works OK for the photos but the rendering hangs when the get to the videos that have been imported after 07-22-2011.
I checked the video properties and they are all the same as old videos (nothing changed in my iphone) they are .mov files h264 with ACC audio (same as all the previous ones that show the thumbnail correctly)
I tried deleting the .lrdata preview file, and recreating all the previews in standard-size and nothing, then tried with 1:1 preview, but again it hangs when it gets to the videos
I created a new catalog and imported 2 new videos. getting the same result.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Geoff.
I used an app called app zapper to completely delete 3.4 and then installed 3.5 RC and the general speed seems to be a 'little' bit better.
But video seem to screw up everything. Previews are still not rendering for videos and as soon as I get into a mixed folder (videos & images) Lightroom starts to lag badly...

Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

How do i transfer home video to ipad. for video or is it purely clips

Is there any storage capacity for video or is it purely clips.
My camera is a Sony DCR-SR37 HDD

If you convert video to an iPad playable format, you can put whatever home videos you want on it.
Handbrake is a good video converter that will convert movies to iPad playable format.

Cover Flow - preview image for videos and folders

Hello,
Is there any way to change the still image used as a preview for a video file in Cover Flow in the Finder? I've found that browsing through folders full of video files, it mostly shows me black previews, or previews containing bits of text (opening credits).
It would be useful if I could select a still frame to use as the preview, so that I can actually tell at a glance which video I'm looking at -- the filenames are not particularly useful in this regard. I have all the files tagged for use with spotlight so that I can search them easily, but would still like to be able to find the files visually as well.
Similarly, I have folders full of images. Is it possible to replace the generic folder icon with one of the images contained in that folder, so that I can see which set of photos is in that folder?
I haven't been able to find anything about this, so I'll assume for now it's not possible. Any ideas if this might be a future feature?
Thanks,
Johannes.

Extremely long video preview export for Audition

I'm using Premiere Pro CC, and since my last update (I'm on Build 8.2.0 (65)) I have had extremely long export times when attempting to roundtrip to Audition. For example, a 10 minute sequence can take 4 hours before I cancel and send to Audition without video. I know there have been other discussions about this -- is there a solution?

My version of Photoshop ( 13.0.1 x 64) doesn't have this option listed in the File/export menu. Am I missing something?

Source and program monitors in Premiere are Pure Grey, no video, no frame for video

I can load a clip into the source monitor; it has the name on top ("Source: [clipname.MOV"], but there's no video there, not even a frame where video would go. Let me be clear: this is not a black video frame situation. The Source monitor is the gray background color edge to edge. If I play the clip, the position indicator moves and I hear sound.
The same situation for the program monitor. Timeline is open, video and audio are there -- and the V1 track is enabled. Play it and there's sound, the position indicator in the timeline and the program monitor track perfectly, but all there is in the program monitor is the grey background color edge to edge. The timeline that's open holds a amall edited piece that used to show up quite fine in the Program monitor.
When I go into the setting of the source and program monitors, I see that "composite video" is selected...
Ah, now the plot thickens. If I choose something else, let's say "Vectorscope", when I select "Composite Video" again, it STAYS as a Vecotorscope. In the dropdown Composite Video is checked (dotted, really), but the Vectorscope remains. It's almost as if the video is not redrawing itself.
I would think there's some easy solution to this, that this must be a newbie kind of problem, and perhaps I am not phrasing the question right when I search the forums or google the problem, but I've been unable to find the answer on my own, so I appreciate the help in advance.

When I render a video in photoshop, the video contains unwanted text

The text at the bottom looks like thismy export settings look like this, what am i doing to make that unwanted text appear in my mp4 video file?

This has nothing to do with PS. This is simply VLC's file info overlay. Turn it off in the VLC prefs.

Video preview not working

When working on a project, the video preview is no longer working, neither for individual video preview or for overall preview of the project video composite. I have no idea what to do. It worked before. I am on Windows 7 64 bit with Premiere Elements 10.

jhughthomas
Since you are a Premiere Elements 10 user with a display problem, the first order of business is to determine if your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphic card. The Announcement at the top of this forum tells it all, the problem and the how to fix. For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of that Announcement.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are
experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of
troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained
workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce
video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card
driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as
March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any
corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for
the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
If you fall into the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce display problem, then your answer is to roll back your card driver
(typically that has been requiring roll back to about May 2013). This factor needs to be ruled in or out at the onset of the
troubleshooting plan.
Equally important questions include:
a. If you start a new project, do you have the same problem?
b. If you use the same source video in the project with or without going to a new project, do you have the same problem?
We will be watching for your progress. Please do not hesitate to say if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

CS4 - Video Preview Codec

I'm a little confused, when creating a video project file, I'm given the choice of a video preview codec, is this just soemthing to allow the video preview to be played back steadily?
Also will this effect my final render? Or will it change if I choose to render with a different codec.
And finally what do you reccomend I select as my video preview codec for working with 720p footage?

Sorry i don't really understand, the video I'm editing is a 720p WMV file, is that right?
I've imported into a poject file with the video preview codec set to 'uncompressed'

Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

Thanks for your reply, Rick.
I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras. I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources. Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

2nd Graphic card displays white only if used for Video Preview in FCP

I just bought a Vavida 8800 graphics card, so that I could connect 3 monitors total. I have my main two monitors on my table connected to the Navida, and a flatscreen TV behind me in the living room connected to the original Redeaon graphics card. All 3 monitors display fine, but when I try to set the Video Preview in FCP, either on RAW or Full Screen, all I get is a white Image. This worked fine with only 2 monitors.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Christian

Does anyone know if Apple is working on the second graphic card issue in FCP?
I installed an ATI 3870 on top of the 2600 that came with my MacPro, assuming that it will work.
But I'm having all kinds of problems in FCP, random freezes, long waits for rendering and exporting, etc.
I have two Dell 24 inches monitors and a smaller 19 inches Acer, and I would love to have some extra real estate to leave the timeline in one Dell, the preview in another, and the canvas and viewer on the Acer.
I read I can get the Blackmagic Intensity to output HDMI/DVI (via an adapter, I guess, since the Blackmagic has no DVI output and my monitors have no HDMI), so my question is: if I get the Blackmagic can I use it's output for other programs (Photoshop, ProTools, and so on)? or it will only appear as a valid output in FCP? In other words, does the Blackmagic works as a graphic card when FCP is not active?
Sorry for the silly question, but I already bought a card that is actually useless for me, and I don't want to spend $250 in another.
Thanks
