    Posted by Manny Rellesiva on September 3, 2005 at 11:52 am

    I have seen some videos which used a different “texture” such as a paint-like effect. I wonder how this is exactly achieved but I dont know if what I am thinking is correct by simply exporting the video as sequence of images in Photoshop and then altering each frame to have that paint-effect and then jump to imageready and export it as a movie. Is there any special plugin to achieve this? thanks for your response in advance.

    If you’re on a Mac take a look at this:

    Take a look at this. It would be best if you tried the demo and played with it some you just might get what you want.

    A quick painterly effect can be achieved by duplicating your footage layer.
    Setting the top layer’s blending mode to darken and then blur it.
    Try it! You’ll jump back in astoundment and thank me a million times and ask what you could ever do to pay me back this wonderful deed, and I’ll tell you that it’s okay, don’t mention it, but there are a few cameras out there that are just dying to be given as a thank you gift to your’s truly.

    P.S. – you can play with multiple copies of the darken layer set at different blend amounts, find edges applied etc.

    if you are thinking about the splashes of paint you see on channels like Fuse and MTV, someone told me
    that Corel Painter IX can “remember” your splashes and or brush strokes and save them as a QT movie.

    I have not tried it, neither know if it really works; but give it a try and let us know.
