Photoshop Integration with Edius

[Watermoore]

I do the same as Jerry. Good thing EDIUS doesn't "lock" the PSD file, or else we'd be in trouble :)

In all cases, PSD is a proprietary format. Adobe wouldn't let a 3rd party mess with their structure, unless they were really close with them.

either that or adobe is on the verge of buying them out, doing the bear minimum to get software "integrated" with all of its proprietary formats and then packaging it in a new CS release.

THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID LOL

he said edius updated the original file !

NO,
What I said was that it updated the file that you were using
Within Edius, only if you saved those changes to the same file that is being used in Edius. That would not necessarily be the original
File.

oh thats a bit of no-no, has it been reported as a bug ?

That's how it is supposed to work. EDIUS updates if the original is updated. It is most usefull that it works this way.
Works the same on BWF when you need to do some tweaking in an audio app when you save to the original it is properly updated to reflect the the changes.
I don't know why any one would think it is a bug because when your editing you only would update the original when you need those changes to be reflected.

Maybe you're not well informed......

A no no, bug? I thought it was an undocumented feature ;)

I do the same as Jerry and StormDave. I discovered Edius updating the psd by accident. But it does save me a lot of time going back and forth.

If I import a photoshop file as a footage in Edius, is there any way to treat the layers of psd file individually?

I usually load the .psd file and leave photoshop open.
If I correct the final output and save to the same location
That the edius file is at, it updates the file contained on the
Edius timeline.
This is about as close as you are going to get at this time.
All corrections are still done in photoshop, and yes, it will be
Hit or miss on the layers. I also take a still shot of the time
And load that into photoshop. Most of my corrections are
Accomplished in photoshop and tweaked by viewing through
The monitor.

Other than the Alpha Channel, Edius will not read PS layers.
