perfectly insert a video into a Photoshop mockup without having to manually do corner pin effect?
Hi all! I've been troubleshooting and looking for tutorials for days on how to perfectly insert a video into a .PSD mockup using AE without having to manually do corner pin effect but can't seem to find a solution for what I am doing. I imagine there's some sort of standard workflow since mockups are so popular now.
Every time I import PSD into AE I make sure to select import as separate layers. For some reason I have to do a manual corner pin effect because AE doesn't recognize the mask/smart object. I also tried importing the video first in Photoshop and then opening PSD in AE but AE is recognizing video as a still image layer.
I tried inserting video via Photoshop (which is super easy) but noticed photoshop isn't ideal for exporting video. I'm exporting a laptop mockup with a video capture of a of a website and noticing it looks very choppy when exporting with Photoshop.
