In Photoshop Elements 2025, you'll have five new quick actions. We have added four new 'Add Motion' quick actions and a ‘Depth Blur’ quick action. The 'Add Motion' quick actions are based on the Moving Photos and Moving Overlays features of Photoshop Elements and help bring your still photographs to life by adding motion. You can now add music to the Moving Overlays feature. The desired track can be chosen from the list of music presets supplied in the application.
To see these features in action, head to the Quick Actions panel in the Quick Workspace and select the Add Motion section.
