This weeks Friday Freebie is in two parts as I’m giving away a 30 second video clip of smoke and a tutorial on how to use the clip to create a simple animated text effect in Photoshop CS6

One of the headline new features of Photoshop CS6 is its ability to edit video clips with exactly the same skills you’d need to edit photos. Unlike Photoshop CS5 the video editing is available to all version of Photoshop CS6 not just the extended version.
Now I know most photographers are yet to embrace video and it’s certainly a very different discipline to learn but if you fancy trying your hand at video then this weeks Friday Freebie is for you.

Another great video Gavin. Many thanks.

You are always inspiring Gavin ♥ Loved the fire like glow 🙂
Have a lovely weekend x
All my Best Heidi
Thanks for all your support Heidi 🙂
Simply brilliant 🙂
Do you feel the historical separation between stills and film are changing?
I never really thought about “moving” pictures… but now it seems there is another area to consider when preparing my shots…
Looking forward to having a play with this technique (and the 2D to 3D one you did a while back)
Thanks again.

I think the fact that camera skills and now photoshop skills are transferable between media is bringing stills and video closer but the changes are coming in little jumps, rather then big waves.
Cheers Gavin, Another fantastic video, keep them coming. Chris
Thanks Gavin,
Another great video….so glad I found you on the web. I finally learned something about video and CS6. Thanks again….Steve
thanks so much sir Gavin! great tutorials and videos as always 🙂
Gavin I am using CS6 and when I do “file open” to bring it into photoshop, it says it doesn’t recognize this type of file. I unzipped and it is an mp4. I’m on a macbook, anything I am doing wrong?
