    Video in Photoshop CS6

    John_Picton Community Member

      Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I have just started to try something using video in CS6.

      I have 82 sequential images and I am trying to string them together as a sort of stop motion film (think the intro to the Monkeys).

      I have done the following:

      1. Opened Bridge and selected all of the images

      2. From the tools menu I selected the Photoshop sub-menu and then selected load as separate layers in Photoshop.

      3. This (unsurprisingly) opened the files as a single .psd with all the images on different layers - with the newest image being at the bottom.

      4. I clicked on Timeline and then selected Create video timeline which put all of the clips into the same 5 second space on my time line.

      5. I selected all of the images and then by clicking on the small filmstrip icon I selected "New Video group from clips"

      So What I am left with is a sequence of all 82 images but with the following problems.

      1. All of the clips are 5 seconds long and I want them to be about 1/10 of a second.

      2. For some reason the files in the video clip show the most recent first and the oldest last - I would like them the other way round.

      I know that I can select all of the clips and then move the play head to approx 1/10 of a second and split the clips. This works except I have to go through and manually delete the bits I don't want which is tedious enough for a video with 82 images but I am planning on longer projects, doing it manually would be a nightmare.

      Also I could probably re-order the images manually but I am sure that there must be an easier.

      As I said I am very new to all of this so any help would be much appreciated.

      Cheers
