- [Instructor] When you're working with a video project, it's not uncommon to have several different file types that are components of the project. These will include video clips of course, but you might also have audio clips, still images, and other graphic files. Before we get started creating cool video composites, I wanna cover an important part of working with video, how you organize the different files in your project. I'm gonna open up a video composite file that I have prepared for this exercise. And I get a message when the file opens that it cannot locate one of the linked assets. And it tells me the name of that asset and the last known file path. So, this is the first important concept to realize when you're working with video in Photoshop, is that when you open up a video into Photoshop, or import new clips into a video project, Photoshop does not imbed those video files into the Photoshop document you're working on. It merely links to them where they live somewhere else…
