Cartoon-ize your videos with NewBlueFX Cartoonr

Get Cartoonr for FREE @ http://www.newbluefx.com/cartoonr/

Ever wanted to make your videos look like cartoons? There's a simple, straightforward way HOW and NOW: Cartoonr from NewBlueFX. I featured this earlier in my roundup, "4 free Sony Vegas plugins you should know about". And what happened next? I ended up purchasing their whole collection — the $500 "BIG KAHUNA" bundle — for use on my video projects, and am presently part of the NewBlueFX team! Many videos you see from me involve NewBlueFX in some way, so if you've wondered, "Wow, how'd you do that, Torley?"… herein is your answer. :)

Most plugins are a pain in the ass to use (designed for impractical geekage, not everyday usage) and aren't available for a variety of hosts. This was the problem I kept coming across with Vegas, until I came across the breadth and depth of NewBlueFX's collection. They're priced a lot better than a lot of what I've seen, and I can now say that through experience with conviction.

Cartoonr is a free download which works in Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc. and as I show you in a little under 7 minutes in GLORIOUS HIGH-DEFINITION ABOVE!, it's a snap — or is that sketch? — to use. Once you have Cartoonr loaded, you can apply it in a couple seconds, then dial in settings shortly thereafter. It's rewarding to use on everything from digital camera clips (as I show) to higher-res (pro) material to video game and virtual world machinima.

Should you desire more control, the newly-released Paint Effects includes Cartoonr Plus, which gives you "better line drawing and image shading". Paint Effects is the evolution of digitally-generated natural media effects, which've graduated from still canvases (like in Corel Painter and ArtRage) to motion pictures. If the old masters had been alive to see this… well, I reckon it would go somewhat like that scene in Bill & Ted featuring Beethoven on synth.

DA BOTTOM LINE: no cheap tricks, no sad gimmicks — well, Cartoonr is rather purty — and what you see really is what you get.

If you ...

is there a trial version for newbluefx? i wanted to try it out really badly

[Torley]

Yes, there sure are trial versions. And Cartoonr is FREE. :)

[Torley]

WOOOOOOOO click "watch in HD" under the video for WAYYY better quality.

@BlackGnosis: Can you show me an example of what you mean? I'd try it out firsthand to best understand!

@debmt: I believe a Mac version for that is on the way, stay tuned. (Or is that "tooned"?)

@pyewacked22, can you please give me exact steps you tried? If there's a broken link we will want to fix it.

Thanx for watching! "Art excel", I like that. :D
