Exporting Video

 

Last week’s tutorial featured creating a background animation using Photoshop CS3 extended. A few people were writing in and asking how they can output the file once the animation is complete. Well would you believe that Photoshop CS3 Extended will export video files such as Quicktime. Simply go under the File menu and go to Export and choose Render Video. Here you can choose what file type whether it be Quicktime or MPEG. Be careful when using the Flash video (flv) format. Is has been known to be a little buggy and can crash Photoshop. If you need a Flash file simply export a Quicktime and render in the Flash Video Encoder or Visual Hub (Mac Only).

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
