Photoshop Graphics Import
297
During the import, your Avid editing application creates a sequence with each layer on a separate
video track. This makes it easy to edit all layers into the final sequence. This sequence preserves
the names and order of the layers as created in the original Photoshop file.
You can then edit the tracks as necessary to build up to the full collage.
Support for Multilayered Photoshop Graphics Import
You should be aware of the following requirements for multilayered graphics import and details
of how your Avid editing application handles the import:
• Graphics must be RGB 8 or 16 bits, or grayscale.
• Importing preserve layer order and layer names.
• Hidden layers are imported as matte keys.
• Importing converts Opacity to Foreground level in the Matte Key effect.
• Importing rasterizes text and shape layers.
• Not all layer options and types are supported for import.
For information on preserving layer effects during import, see “Importing Photoshop Files”
on page 298.
