EbSynth is VFX software that brings video transformations to life by letting you paint over just a few keyframes. Instead of manual frame-by-frame editing, you create a stylized keyframe—like a hand-drawn look, digital makeup, or colorization—and the tool’s texture-synthesis algorithm intelligently propagates your edits across the entire clip, matching movement and texture. This makes it ideal for rotoscoping, stylized animation, and creative retouching without tedious tracking.
Key Features
- Paint over Videos: Turn live-action performance into hand-drawn animation by painting keyframes; EbSynth handles the in-between frames.
- Retouch & Colorize: Apply digital makeup, remove blemishes, or change colors easily without manual motion tracking.
- Iterative Workflow: Work directly on proxy-quality previews, tweak keyframes, and re-synthesize quickly to stay in the creative flow.
- AI-Assisted Keyframe Generation (optional): An integrated AI tool can generate keyframes from prompts or image inputs, which you can then refine by painting before synthesis.
- Multi-Track Editing: Isolate elements like faces, eyes, or backgrounds on separate alpha tracks for independent control over each part.
Use Cases
- Hand-drawn animation from live footage
- Video touch-ups, digital makeup, and beauty retouching
- Colorizing black-and-white clips
- Experimental VFX and artistic style transfers
