Using Photoshop to create an image sequence from video

 

It is possible to use Photoshop to create an image sequence from a video, in other words to convert video to a sequence of images.

 

I covered how to do this using Premiere Pro in this post but it is easy to do the same without leaving Photoshop.

 

In that post I covered using a timelapse but here it is standard video.

 

Here is the process.

 

❶ Open your video in Photoshop

 

Open video in PhotoshopOpen video in Photoshop

 

  • The Timeline window should display below your video, if it doesn’t then go to Window>Timeline
  • Drag the sliders at left and right to set a work area, here I have chosen approximately 6 seconds but you could use the whole video clip

 

Set work areaSet work area

 

 

❷ Render Video

  • Go to File>Export>Render Video…

 

File>Export>Render Video...File>Export>Render Video...

 

  • Click on Adobe Media Encoder and then choose Photoshop Image Sequence

  • Here you can confirm various settings, you can choose the Range - set here to be the work area from Step  or you can choose All Frames or even a selection.
  • I have left Frame Rate to be the same as the original Canon file by choosing Document Frame Rate
  • Adjust the JPEG quality settings if necessary

 

SettingsSettings

 

  • Click on Render

 

 

❸ Check Folder

  • Here this folder contains the individual frames, for working from

 

Folder of imagesFolder of images

 

 

If you need to create images from a piece of moving footage, then this method can help to narrow down a section to work from or, as mentioned in the post link above, to create a long exposure from a video - see here.

Thank you very much for the post. I have applied it as an illustration for my longboard website (https://longboardbrand.com/)
Before that, I took screenshots and the quality is quite poor, now it's better.

Thank you again very much!
