ABSTRACT
Knowing file formats is very important, as each one has different features. We will first explain the features, and you can then use the chart to see which file format has the features you need. For video, we recommend using Photoshop’s own PSD format. This has compression, no loss in quality or transparency, and supports layers, or merged layers. For a long time, Premiere and After Effects, had both fully supported blending modes and layer styles. You may hear incorrectly as some people became confused because blending modes did not rebuild correctly when importing as a comp in After Effects or sequence in Premiere, but it did if a single layer or merged layers were imported.
