I have a video project that consists of lots of photographs and a few video clips in a slideshow of still (with pan and zoom effects) and moving images.

This whole project was made in photoshop in a timeline and is therefore saved as a psd file.

Now I have the following question: Is there any way of importing this project (timeline and all image, video and audio files) into premiere pro to continue the work there?

Thank you for any ideas

    First ... back in Photoshop, in the Timeline controls lower left, there's an arrow icon that is the "render" icon for a P-shop video file. Underscored in red here:

    Click that, and from the following dialog, choose either the Quicktime option as shown below ...

    ... and note I chose also the HDTV 1920x1080 size. This would get an mov file ... or use the H.264 as below ...

    ... and in this one, I chose H.264 and the HDTV 1080p 29.97 preset, just to fit my normal working practice.

    Then you have proper video media to bring into PrPro, either mov or mp4.

      Thanks a lot, Neil, for this quick answer.

      However, my question, which I probably phrased wrongly, was more if there's a way to import the whole video project which I created in Photoshop (the wrong place for this to begin with, I know now) in Premiere Pro as a sequence in such a way that I can still work on it, rearrange individual still images or clips, transitions, layers, video and audio tracks etc.

      Is that possible?

      Thanks

      Hi Michael,

      No, Photoshop video timelines are not supported via Dynamic Link. You have to export the file as Neil indicated.

      Thanks,
      Kevin
