Rendering Images to Video
The ability to work with video has been added to Photoshop CS6 (and Photoshop
CS6 Extended). Previously, video editing was only available in Photoshop CS5
Extended. In addition to allowing you to open and manipulate video files such
as QuickTime MOV, Photoshop now lets you render a sequence of still images
to a variety of video formats, including MOV. In the following steps you will cre-
ate a short video from a sequence of time lapse stills and then render it to video
output.

If adding titles, text, or credits to your video, be aware that it must
be constrained to a “title-safe” portion of the frame. This avoids any
clipping that might result from differences in file formats.
