Video Editing...in Photoshop?
With Adobe CS6 getting a lot of attention as of late, I looked over the updated feature set that Sara posted about earlier this month. When I learned that Photoshop Extended would include more video editing features than previous versions, I was stunned--you mean to tell me that Photoshop has had a full-featured video editor built in since CS3? For students who have video projects at the end of the semester, we can suggest several programs: iMovie, Movie Maker, Final Cut, Premiere, and now, Photoshop Extended! Especially for those users more at home in Photoshop than a program like Final Cut (and want more filters, text options, and level adjustments that the basic editors offer), this is a "hidden gem." Check out this tutorial from Pro Video Coalition to see how PS (CS4) handles video surprisingly well.

Thanks to Levi for posting this as I didn't know that PS included a video editor, either. While it's prudent to test a program before recommending it to others, it's helpful to know about little-known features that some people may be using before they appear at the SMDC desk asking for help.
