Comments

You're watching VisiHow. In this video, we're going to show you how to apply a diffuse filter to a video clip in Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7. As we can see, we've already imported our video. We've got "Layers" on the right-hand side and also the timeline at the bottom.

1. 1
   Then we should just select the layer that we want to work with. Once we've done that, make sure we convert it to a smart object, which is basically what flattens this video clip to one frame, rather than lots of individual frames. We need to do that when we're working with filters on video. If we don't know how to do that, then by all means, we can refer to the video available on this website where we talk through exactly how to do this.
