Linking Assets in Photoshop to FCPX

digitalCINEMAcafe.com by Chris Fenwick

This is an incredible new feature in Photoshop CC that was just recently released. It allows Photoshop to constantly be creating assets for web developers from their layer names. I've taken it one step further and created a little work around to allow you to "dynamically link" (yep... fake SEO juice again) in order to constantly be updating your images in FCPX.
