Yes, you did read the title correctly. Although Premiere Pro is the big kid on the block for video editing, the good folks at Adobe have sneaked some really nice video functionality into Photoshop. We see the lines blur between each application in the Creative Suite with each new release, such as some of the effects from After Effects showing up in Premiere Pro, or Illustrator and Photoshop constantly swapping tools and functionality. But this week, we will take a look at how to edit video in Photoshop.

Time Remapping is one of those editing techniques that can be a little intimidating. However, Adobe has set out to ensure that the Time Remapping tools are as intuitive as possible. In this video, we discuss how to slow or speed up a portion of a clip, add a freeze frame and even portions of the clip in reverse, all with the the powerful Time Remapping tools.

Multi-camera shooting is a popular and visually interesting way to shoot all kinds of live events. Now, Adobe has made editing that two camera material incredibly easy. This video from our good friends at Lynda.com shows you just how to manage media shot simulatiously with two or more cameras.

The new Shot Matcher in Adobe SpeedGrade is just plain amazing. If you’re looking for a tool to quickly match the look of one clip, or even a snapshot, into a different clip, look no further.

The Warp Stabilizer has been a feature we’ve loved in Adobe After Effects for some time. However, since the release of CS6, the feature can now be found embedded in Premiere Pro as well. This powerful tool can make your shaky footage look like it was shot using a Steadicam. More importantly, it can take footage that would otherwise be left on the cutting room floor and make it usable.  This video breaks down the miracle that is the Warp Stabilizer.

Layer Masks provide an amazingly versatile and varied range of functions. However, with all of that functionality, sometimes the smallest detail can prevent us from doing something as common as a simple copy/paste action. This short video walks you through how to copy and paste in a Layer Mask. Learn how the addition of one key stroke is the difference between pasting in the layer mask, and creating a whole new, separate layer.

Photoshop is the be-all photo editing suite for a reason: leading edge, robust functionality. However, some of what makes Photoshop so great is the bevy of ahead-of-their-time tools that form the base of everything we do to enhance our photos. One such feature is the Layer Mask. This video explores a common effect in photography, enhancing one feature of a black and white photo with a splash of color using Layer Masks.

Photoshop is used for countless individual and varied projects every day, but the end goal is the same for all users: to create an interesting image. Interesting can be beautiful or shocking, calming or turbulent, or anywhere in between. However, one of the most commonly performed Photoshop tasks is combining two photographs to make either a composite image, or a single, natural looking image that borrows the best elements from two or more photographs. This video walks you through the process of combining two landscape images using common tools in Photoshop.
