I am not sure If I should start a new thread at this point or not but…..

I think I may have used the wrong term to describe what I want to do. The effect I want was called rotoscoping to me when I first saw and inquired about it so tht is what I started calling it. so let me describe what I want to do and some one here can perhaps give me another name for it and give me some advice on whether it should be moved to a new or different thread.

There are many filters in Photoshop. Those filters can be expanded with plug-ins like Topaz Adjust and Topaz Simplify. I want to take my .mov files and run them through these filters and get these hyper cartoon effects. I can do it in Photoshop to some extent but PS seems to choke, crash and burn on anything longer than about 10 seconds.

I see that Motion5 has filters but they seem quite limited, compared to Photoshop. For example I don’t see a way to get a cartooning effect or watercolor effect. But, maybe I am missing something.

Is there a way to expand the filters in Motion5? Can anyone suggest a low cost, under $100, solution to get this effect?

Thanks a lot. I will check it out.

Are these all available in M5?

I am happy you made the point about doing it every 20 frames or so. I would not have known that.

What soft ware are you referring to? Motion5? Are there people doing this in M5? Any examples?
