You're a saint for real my studio project THANKS you

[@TALTULI1]

Thank you for this great tutorial. The only problem I have is that in the smart object I can see the whole video (both time lines same length) and when I go back to the actual photo it plays a very small part of the video. Do you know perhaps why?

[@deborahkomatsu5446]

[@archrao2103]

Just what I was looking for so well explained.

[@SaffronAvenue]

Oh good!

[@KaiWenFranklin]

Just wondering if anyone of you use Final Cut and it possible to do something like this in that program? Thanks

[@SaffronAvenue]

I don’t.. sorry!!

[@WhiteDoberman]

Can WebM format be imported instead of MP4 in Photoshop?

[@baay81]

thanks for sharing! this helped me a lot

[@SaffronAvenue]

I'm so glad!

[@ErinGSA]

Thanks for this tutorial. For some reason when I try to drag and drop my MP4 screencast it tells me that "no parser or file format can oepn the file" and I can only find tutorials on how to fix this if the document is a jpeg, any advice?

[@SaffronAvenue]

Oooh, I have never had that error before.. I just tried it again and worked, so here are my steps again! :: 1. Opened a PNG 2. Created a rectangle - made it into a 'smart object' on the layer panel 3. Opened the smart object, placed an .mov file into it 4. Under WINDOW - choose 'TIMELINE' 5. Hit 'Create Video Timeline' and 'save' - then close the Smart Object tab (window). 6. Back to original PNG I did the same 'Create Video Timeline' under the Timeline frame 7. Adjusted the layer lengths (the video/smart object to match the background image layer. 8. File - Export - 'RENDER VIDEO' - Change the size/quality - then hit 'RENDER'

[@Llliesh]

I have the same! Have you found a fix?

[@seannus20]

Thank you for this! not many results after trying explain to google what i wanted haha

[@saadkhalidqazi9933]

that was exactly what I was going to do thanks for the video!

very clear and useful video, thank you so much!

[@SaffronAvenue]

You're very welcome!

[@sirhenryhu]

So useful and great tutorial! Thank you.

[@jennahlady6722]

This is awesome. My only issue was the video cut off at 5 seconds when the actual screen recording was longer. Is there a way to adjust the time in photoshop?

[@katebollinger7346]

did you ever find a solution to this issue? same thing happened to me

[@djamelkadi5519]

@@katebollinger7346 maybe it's about the timeline length, did you check on that?

[@kiaraoksi]

I have the same problem. Please, tell me how I can solve this problem🙏

[@tonyahesterdesign]

This look great. I am having a problem importing the video into photoshop - it keeps saying that file could not be opened. It is a mp4 file - could someone advise?

[@hombuecherkonstantin8592]

Hello and thank you so much for that awesome tutorial. I got it all. The only thing that I can't solve is that after I exported and rendered the video there is a black background even though the mockup is totally isolated. How do I have to change my settings to delete the background of my mockup? I want it to be cut out precisely... 😊

[@SaffronAvenue]

I'm not super sure, but maybe try doing a pen tool mask around it???

[@sanjanamahajan3144]

Thanks a lot for this, it helped!!

terimakasih, videonya nya bagus, saya jadi tahu bagaimana menggunakan video photoshop, salam kenal dari kami

[@yvonnegougelet1204]

does this work if I just want to put a video on top of a photo? I don't need to have it fit on a screen, I just want a video on a photo

[@VictoriaAshleyLuxe]

Just found this, thank you for posting - you've saved me spending more hours wasted 🙂

[@tonicheval1]

thanks, but it seems not working recently as the PS messed the update made importing video always return with errors, I saw many with same experience and I couldn't find a workaround even I reencode it to many different types.

[@SaffronAvenue]

Hmm, I wonder if it's the new PS update causing the error??

[@Dhanushsaji]

Exactly what I'm looking.. thankuuu

[@LootShaman]

This video is a gold find for me. Thank you. I have a question if you could help... I did the export like you said but the image has two frame black line each side? How is it so. I want the same frame as the original jpeg behind my videos.Much love.

[@SaffronAvenue]

I would try maybe starting over and making the rectangle the exact size of your recording. So if you recorded a screen size of 1220px wide, I would make the rectangle you place it into the same size..??

[@LootShaman]

@@SaffronAvenue I try Exporting AS instead of Video Export and it worked! Thank you for your fast feedback. Hope now that my finding will help someone else. :) Much love.

[@SaffronAvenue]

@@LootShaman Oh, good to know!!

[@lauraeverard1686]

Love this tutorial and how you make it look realistic...however I am unable to drag an mp4 into Photoshop...is there something I am doing wrong?

[@MyCurlyAdventures]

Not sure if you figured it out, but I had to use adobe media encoder to change it to a quicktime mov file to get it to work.

[@tenayatibbs2255]

Hi! This worked the first time i tried it but now i'm getting

[@laurentcrottet]

Precise and clear ! Thank's a lot !

[@ShilohEsther]

Hey Lady - how would I use it in Showit since I can't upload a video on Showit . . . HELP lol

[@ilkinguliyev5918]

Very helpful. The question is in which format do you save the file?

[@SaffronAvenue]

I think I usually just do .mp4

[@ilkinguliyev5918]

No. İt just save it as video.

[@devashibarthwal3424]

thanks a lot for the video saved my life.. :)

[@jamestill442]

Thanks for such a great tutorial, helped me immeasurably. One problem I've encountered is the background image blurring considerably after being exported. Is there anyway to fix that?

[@SaffronAvenue]

Was your original image high resolution?

[@aneesha5685]

Great tutorial. I followed all the steps exactly but the final video has a black background to it. How do i remove it?

[@luvhopefullie727]

Great video. Thank you.

[@jpm8288]

Does the rendered video keep the same distortion? Would I be able to put this same mockup into a website?

[@SaffronAvenue]

Hi there, when you export it should maintain! And then be able to upload it as a complete video

[@orincywhytedesigns]

LEGEND!!!!!Thank you!!

[@herastudio543]

thank you, this is awesome

[@pytray]

super helpful! thanks!

[@SaffronAvenue]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandipannath9588]

you saved my project! hugs..

[@aneesha5685]

Once you save the video mock-up file, does it have a black background to it?

[@InbarShahak]

cool video, loved it!!!

[@l13rodrigues]

I have tried it and it went fine, but when I embed the image in a website, the animation does not work. How can I make it work?

[@tonigaga3996]

how do you upload it to your website

[@MrCharlieBananas]

Video files are not dragging over? Theres that circle with a line in it, which means action not possible? Does the video file need to be a specific type/length or something?

[@SaffronAvenue]

I'm not sure on length, but I would think any MP4 would work? Where do you see the circle with a line in it?

[@maria-zm4bo]

@@SaffronAvenue hi! I'm having the same issue here and am using a MP4 file. The circle they are mentioning is the one that appears instead of your cursor, meaning the action you're trying to perfom is not possible.

[@tatumwilson4655]

Hello! I LOVE your videos, but I need help ): I don't have the option to do create a video timeline on my photoshop it only says create frame animation. DO you know how to fix this? I tried googling it but nothing has worked

[@SaffronAvenue]

I just noticed this same thing on my new M1 mac! - If you right click on photoshop from the finder and choose 'get info' - check the 'open in rosetta' box!

[@melissamij3860]

I am not sure why, but i create the rectangle, size it and make it a dynamic object but then I can't do anything of that rectangle... crop or select. ANy idea why ?

[@SaffronAvenue]

Are you creating it as a 'smart object' before you re-size, adjust, transform?

[@abiaka222]

hey im getting this error what have I done wrong Could not place “Screen Recording 2022-08-29 at 17.04.55.mp4” because no parser or file format can open the file.

[@SaffronAvenue]

Oooh, I'm not sure if thats an actual Photoshop version error?? If not, maybe try to reduce the size of the video (I use Quicktime or 8mb.video/ )

[@BloomSparx23]

Thank you so much for this ❤️ I've been searching for this for so long!!! Can I export it as a .gif so it'll automatically play in my behance post?

[@SaffronAvenue]

You could probably export it as MP4 and then just use a converter online? www.google.com/search?q=convert+mp4+to+gif&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS728US728&oq=convert+mp4+to+gif&aqs=chrome.0.0j0i457j0l6.3485j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

great vid 👌

[@qamariqbal6730]

Its amazing but how to change the playback speed of video, its playing at really slow speed

[@SaffronAvenue]

Playback speed is slow, but once exported it will be the correct time!
