The use of photoshop to edit our music video - Positives and negatives

One of our group members are particularly good with the use of photoshop to edit images due to their photography lesson and experience in the use of photoshop. We thought it may be a good idea to use photoshop to edit our footage in order to make it more visually appealing. Although, before using this for our whole music video, he decided to analyse the effects of using photoshop. Their were positives and negatives to the approach:


Positives:

• We have a photography student in our group - therefore, he is experienced and able to use the software's many functions. 
• editing in regards to colour, contrast and effects rather than cuts, will be more flexible, and we would hope the results would, be of a higher quality.

Below is one image he edited:

He was able to create an image which he photo grabbed in order to be a possibility for our digipak. This is shown below:

Negatives:

• after exporting the video from final cut express into photoshop we realised the image had been pixelated
• This would increase when exported back into final cut express
• this method is time consuming
• may run out of time
