 |

Here is the best solution I have found as of yet: http://aeportal.blogspot.com/2007/06/filters-on-video-in-photoshop-cs3.html
| Quote: | | To apply a filter to all the frames of a video clip you have to convert the layer to a Smart Object, Filter>Convert to Smart Filter does the trick. Now an applied filter works on all frames. |
Now the question:
 I was just about floored when I decided to try opening a video file in Photoshop and to my utter amazement it opened! I could not believe that I was editing video in Photoshop. No more filmstrips (no, not totally, they still have their various uses*) But Photoshop has never brought me this much happiness before... I have been waiting for this for a long time. And further more it can do all the things you could want it to do. Need onion skinning? No problem. Need a new blank Video Layer (thats crazy Video layer in Photoshop) no problem. But I am a greedy man and still want more...
To get to the root of the question, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to apply a filter or level adjustment (though that could be done with a adjustment layer) to all the frames of the video simultaneity? Like De-interlace for example. I of course could bring it in to aftereffects and process it first with magic bullet or something, but if there is a way to just open it in photoshop and apply a filter to all the frames at once that would be spectacular. (this of cource could be done using a filmstrip, but that defaults the whole purpose) Now if you could have the option to open up a filmstrip as either a filmstrip or a video then you might really have something.
But maybe I'm not so greedy after all, the above solution seems to be the solution so I'm more or less content. But if you read the post the guy goes on to talk about there being no real way to "animate" the filters... ! I just wanted to apply a filter to them all at once, I'm happy with being able to do that now. If you seriously need it to animate a PS filter in Photoshop (though most of them are available in aftereffects and it would be much eiser to just keyframe them their) you can always do it frame by frame which is really the whole point of being able to edit video in photoshop - Photoshop has now become the sweetest rotoscope engine (drawing on video/film frame by frame) I have ever used. True, throw Sabiston's roto-ware in the mix (the software created and used for making the films waking life and a scanner darkly) and their is no comparison, but Photoshop CS3 is relativity available and I already know how to use it.
*Like being able to draw across frames like you could on an actual piece of film to give that "pre film countdown scratch and lines" effect. Just drawing a squiggly line across a stretch of frames will render a neat effect if you've never seen it. Or what would one picture look like if stretched across 200 frames or so and played back as video. |
