Smoke in an aerosol can, who knew?

Hopefully we can buy the stuff over the internet.

One thing that I would be cautious about with this opening movie in PhotoShop process is, do you loose any quality from the raw footage as you import it into PS, and can you output it out of PS in a usable format (without sacrificing further quality).

I believe you can - though it's important you use a lossless process. I think the Animation compression type via QuickTime is pretty good, and I've also exported using image sequence, and converting it to a series of Tiff files.

Another cool thing is you can save it as a straight photoshop file - and then open in directly in After Effects, and render from there, or do more work on it inside AE.

And the opposite still works to I presume, ie if your working on a selected image sequence in AE just hit ctrl-e or alt-e (I forget which!) and automagically Photoshop will open up with the frame pointed to in the timeline.
