How to Export Adobe Photoshop to Pinnacle

Pinnacle Studio is a comprehensive video capturing and editing program that is streamlined for making home movies. Photoshop is often used to make titles or to edit still photography for videos, so it is sometimes necessary to export from Photoshop to Pinnacle Studio. Newer versions of Pinnacle Studio now support importing standard Photoshop documents. However, older versions may not support this format, so exporting in a different format may be necessary. Exporting a widely compatible JPG image is only a few clicks away.
