I had no clue just how powerful Photoshop was for video until I started experimenting with its capabilities.  It all started a couple of weeks ago when I purchased a Panasonic X920 Camcorder.  

I had heard great things about its video quality and I was in the market to do some video recording for some upcoming training videos (in production now).  The problem arose when I found out it recorded in .mts format not .mp4.  

I bought a program to convert it, but my $37 investment turned out to be a crapshoot.  Back to the drawing board.  Then, in a fit of desperation, I dragged and dropped the .mts file into Photoshop... IT WORKED!  

So now I had to do some experimenting.  I was able to figure out things in Photoshop that other programs I owned simply could not do half as well or nearly half as fast.  Did you know that Photoshop could edit video?  Or should I say edit it so well! 

 Here are just some of the things I will show you in this video:

The basics of the "Timeline palette"
Setting up your Workspace for Video
Trimming Video
Adding Transitions
The basics of Video Groups
Adding Adjustment Layers to Videos (an extremely powerful feature!)
Video Rendering to MP4
