I use Adobe Photoshop Album (PA) to organize my photos. I'm doing a video of wedding stills, starting with 600 photos. I use PA to organize the photos (creating "tags" labeled pre-ceremony, ceremony, etc.), and select the best photos for each category. Now, the question was how best to get them into Vegas with those categories.
Ah-ha! I discovered that if I have both PA and Vegas open (side-by-side), I can select a tag (ie category) in PA, select the photos I want (or all photos in the category), and then drag and drop them on the Media Pool. Better still, I can create bins in Vegas Media Pool and drag the PA photos into the Media Pool.
This saved me lots of time and uses both applications to their best use.
(oh, and happy new year to all)
