How to Copy Adobe Photoshop to Pinnacle

Using Pinnacle Studio, Adobe Photoshop files (.PSD) can be imported into a time line and used in a video or slideshow. Pinnacle Studio allows you to quickly generate professional-looking video pieces and recognizes many image file formats. Because of this added flexibility, Pinnacle Studio can save time editing because you are not forced to convert images you plan to use in your video presentation. Importing Adobe Photoshop files is a quick process that only takes a few easy steps.

Things You'll Need

• Computer installed with Adobe Photoshop and Pinnacle Studio.

Instructions

1. Open Pinnacle Studio.

2. At the top of the screen, select the capture tab. Select "File" and then select "Import." This will allow you to browse your computer to find the Photoshop images you wish to use in your Pinnacle Studio video presentation. Be sure you select "Show Photos" at the top of the import box as this will ensure that any photo files Pinnacle Studio recognizes will be found.

3. Highlight the Photoshop images you wish to import and then select "Import."

4. Drag any Photoshop files you have imported onto your timeline. You can do this when you are in edit mode. To switch to edit mode, click the "Edit" tab at the top of the screen.
