Verified! I have not idea why it’s doing it but it’s different at different resolutions…

Hey Nate, I would try removing your Wacom preferences. Not sure what platform you’re on but in windows you just go to Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound and you’ll see the Wacom Tablet Properties entry and under it a “remove preferences” option. Also, you might check that your driver is up to date and if all else fails reinstall the driver. Re: your dissatisfaction with the rotobrush, I’m with you. I’ve tried it a couple of times and ended up abandoning it after a frustrating hour or two. Good luck!

I see that you are rendering out as “Lossless”, which may be the problem. It takes a lot of horsepower to play back lossless full 1080 HD footage in real time, especially if the footage is on your boot drive and/or a slower hard drive. I assume your raw footage is in some other codec like prores or h264? Try rendering out in a lighter codec like that and see if it plays back in real time. I think that’s it but if not could you provide info about the original footage format (codec)?

Refer to my previous posts. If there’s something in particular you don’t understand ask a specific question.

I had not seen those before, the one with Cesar’s statue is particularly good. I do remember doing his tutorial with the surfer and that was very good too.

I would say that’s exactly how that was made. They just used several layers with different colors and sizes but the brush appears to be the same on all three layers. It also appears that they used a blending mode, probably “overlay”, on the top pink layer. That’s why there is a different color where the pink and red layers intersect.

See if this helps (below). There are some brushes that come with Illustrator but if they aren’t what you are after then there are a lot of brushes you can find online, quite a few are free. Search for “illustrator grunge brushes” or “illustrator paint brushes”, etc. If this is still not what you want then maybe you could provide more details.

If you have illustrator you can select from a bunch of different brushes that will give you that look. You can either paint them on or apply as a stroke to a circle or whatever shape you have. Photoshop has some similar brushes but the Illustrator brushes would probably work best for this type of effect.

In character animation this is called a “walk cycle”, if you search the interwebs for “after effects walk cycle” you’ll find tons of tutorials and info about how to do it. Here’s a particularly good series of tutorials on 2D character animation that might help.
