    Hey guys,

    I just wanted to share something I learned today before I go to bed. Basically, it’s just a simplified way to turn your videos into a cartoon look without having to wait 3 hours to render a 2 min. video.

    Here’s the deal:

    1. Import a video in After Effects.
    2. Render the whole video in a Filmstip format.
    3. Go in Photoshop and open the Filmstrip file.
    4. Follow this tutorial: https://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Cartoon-Drawing-Tutorial/22421 – Works with Photoshop 7 too. Play with the settings.
    5. Render in a Filmstrip format from Photoshop.
    6. Go back in After Effects and render everything in a different format!

    Voila!

    Of course, works best if the video was shot with a good image quality.

    You guys tell me if it worked okay.

    Take care.

    Thanks for the great tip. This is never a fast process because there are always frames that don’t look good in full motion, and you usually want to retime processed footage.

    The cutout step kills it. Photoshop couldn’t make it through anything longer than a 5 second clip. When it did make it through everything turned grey. I selected four frames at a time and re-imported and you got the same ugly noise problems you usually get.
