  • A pastel drawn style effect to video?

    Posted by Samantha Springer on November 7, 2013 at 7:34 am

    Hi, this is my first time posting so sorry if I’m not doing things right.

    I’m relatively new to AE and I’m wanting to add a certain effect to my short film – is it doable in AE or do I have to export it into PS and manually draw every frame on? I was hoping that there would be a combination of effects/plug-in that could help me get there roughly, even if I manually touch up certain elements…
    Attached is picture of the direction I’m heading towards.

    Thank you

    I think you are going to want to use Mocha/Shape Layers to do what you need to do.

    If have AECC, then this will probably go a long way to helping you create your desired effect: Rigid Mask Tracker,
