Anyone using Photoshop CS6/CC for video editing?

MichaelUtech:
I am planning to add some stock videos to my (so far) image only portfolio. However I am reluctant to buy one of the expensive pro applications in advance because maybe it is not my thing at all. Instead I would like to know if anyone here uses the new video editing functions in PS6 or PS CC to process his material? If they are enough to do some basic cutting and editing (looks like it to me in descriptions and tutorials) for stock videos that would be a good reason to get PS CC (currently CS5). I have no intention on getting the complete CC package which is much more expensive.

U11:
you can do "basic cutting and editing " even using CS4. Good enough for 5 -10 seconds stock footage. But 5 minute clip was already to heavy for my PC (which is a bit old)

lbarn:
You may want to check out the free program Streamclip.  I works well for basic trimming clips to your desired length.  I think there are a couple of detailed instruction messages on the Shutterstock forum, that cover the settings to use.  I have used it for video clips from my Canon 60D.

Snufkin:
I also use MPEG Streamclip for clip trimming and converting into the desired codec.
A great, lightweight program and doesn't cost anything.

Whenever I try color corrections in Photoshop my videos end up with strange artefacts, especially in the skies. I have no idea how use shadows/highlights adjustments, how to boost vibrance/saturation or add a grad filter without introducing ugly artefacts in PS...

Therefore most of the time I just stick to MPEG Streamclip.

wds:
I have used PS CS6 for video editing. Works quite well. Not doing anything overly sophisticated. However, I find that I need Mpegstreamclip to get the video into proper format for uploading.
