Video: Apply Mosaic Filter in Photoshop CS6

Comments

You're watching VisiHow. In this video, I'm going to show you how to apply a mosaic filter to a video clip on Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7. As you can see, I've already got Photoshop open, and I've imported my video. It is showing a preview. The clips are on the Timeline, and the Layers are on the right-hand side.

1. 1
   If we want to apply a filter, we should ensure that your video clip has been converted into a "Smart Object"

   .

   We can see it has been done here already. The Timeline will turn purple when it's been converted to a "Smart Object". Click again on the Timeline clip that you want.
