How Do I Make a Logo From a Video in Photoshop?

A logo is a crucial part of any brand identity. It’s a simple, yet powerful way to communicate who you are and what you do.

And while there are many ways to create a logo, one of the most popular methods is to create a logo from a video in Photoshop. Here’s how:

First, open Photoshop and create a new document. Then, go to File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. Select the video you want to use to create your logo and click Open.

Next, you’ll see a dialog box where you can select which frames from the video you want to use. For this project, we recommend using about 5-10 frames. Once you’ve made your selection, click OK.

Now that you have your video frames imported as layers, it’s time to start creating your logo. Begin by hiding all the layers except for the first one.

Then, use the pen tool to trace around the object or shape that you want to use for your logo. Once you have your path, right-click and select Make Work Path.

PRO TIP: This video is a scam. The person in the video is not a real Photoshop expert. They are just trying to get your money.

With your work path created, go to Edit > Stroke and select a color for your stroke. We recommend using black or white so that it will be visible against any background. Then, click OK.

Now that your work path is stroked, it’s time to turn it into a shape layer. To do this, go to Layer > New > Layer Via Cut. This will create a new layer with just your shape on it.

At this point, you can start customizing your logo by adding text, changing colors, etc. Once you’re happy with your design, go to File > Save As and save your file as a .png or .jpg.

Creating a logo from a video in Photoshop is a quick and easy way to create a professional-looking logo for your brand identity. By following the steps above, you can create a stunning logo that will make your brand stand out from the crowd.
