You can add a video group in Photoshop by dragging and dropping clips onto each other on the timeline, or by using the "New Video Group From Clips" option.
Here's a breakdown of the methods:
Creating Video Groups in Photoshop
Photoshop allows you to group video clips together on the timeline for better organization and editing. Here's how you can do it:
Method 1: Drag and Drop
- Select a clip: Click on the clip you want to add to a group.
- Drag and Drop: Drag the selected clip onto another clip on the timeline, placing it next to it on a different track.
- Automatic Grouping: When you release the mouse, Photoshop should automatically create a video group containing both clips.
Method 2: New Video Group From Clips (If Drag and Drop Isn't Working)
This method is mentioned as "New Video Group From Clips," implying there should be a dedicated menu option or command to directly create a video group. While the provided information doesn't specify the exact menu path, look for options like "Group Layers" or "Create Video Group" within the Layers panel menu or the Timeline panel menu after selecting the clips you want to group. A typical process would be:
- Select Clips: Select the video clips you want to group together on the timeline.
- Find the Grouping Option: Look for a "New Video Group From Clips" or similar option in the Layer or Timeline panel's dropdown menu. If this exact wording isn't present, explore options like "Group Layers" or a video-specific grouping command.
- Create the Group: Select the option, and Photoshop should create a new video group containing the selected clips.
Troubleshooting Drag and Drop Issues:
If the drag-and-drop method isn't working, consider these possibilities:
- Software Glitches: Restarting Photoshop might resolve temporary glitches.
- Incorrect Placement: Ensure you are dragging the clip directly onto another clip's track, not just near it.
- Locked Layers: Make sure none of the layers are locked, preventing them from being moved or grouped.
- Timeline Settings: Review your timeline settings to ensure grouping isn't disabled.
