Step Four:
We haven't added any photos in yet (just video clips), but before you start dragging photos
in, don't forget that our document is in an HD widescreen video size, and proportionally
our photos aren't going to appear at the ideal size for photographs. So, in Photoshop, I cre-
ate a new blank document that is the same size as my HD video. In this case, that's 1920
pixels wide by 1080 pixels deep at a resolution of 72 (as seen here below), and then I fill
the background with black (with the Foreground color set to black, press
Option-Delete
[PC: Alt-Delete]
). I open my photo in Photoshop, press
Command-A (PC: Ctrl-A)
to se-
lect the entire image, then I copy-and-paste it into that new document. Once it's there, I
press
Command-T (PC: Ctrl-T)
and use Free Transform to resize the image (and, in this
case, rotate it a bit, too!). When it's done, I flatten the layers, save it as a JPEG, and now
it's ready to add to my movie at the right size.
