*Important Explanation for the Advanced Settings from the EbSynth Team* I reached out to Secret Weapons (creators of EbSynth) and they were awesome enough to give a thorough reply/breakdown of what the *Mapping* and *Diversity* settings do so please ignore my guess in the video. Here is their explanation: *Mapping* -- It's not really a defense against moving lights or shadows. If you wanted to suppress the artifacts caused by moving shadows, you'd have to use a video with a high-pass filter on it as a source instead of the classic RGB input. Mapping is more of a defense against similar colors on different objects in one scene. If your hat and your pants had the same color in the source video, EbSynth might think they're the same thing and use the texture from the pants on the hat too. The higher the mapping the more position-aware the texture is and even if the colors of several objects are similar, EbSynth knows that they are in different positions in the image and will associate them with the correct texture. *Diversity* -- To understand diversity, it is important to keep in mind how EbSynth works. It breaks the painted keyframe into little pieces, like a puzzle, and reassembles those pieces to build a new frame. However, it might use the same piece over and over again and you might see some ugly repetitions in the results. Similar to the clone stamp artifacts in Photoshop. So the diversity tells EbSynth how many times it is allowed to use a certain piece of the texture. On low diversity, EbSynth is kind of free and can repeat each piece more. That might be beneficial for some cases. On higher diversity, EbSynth is bound and it has a limited number of repetitions to make. The thing is that EbSynth never warps any colors to match the underlying frame. It always only works with patches of pixels from the painted keyframe. That way the artist has more control over the results unlike with many current neural-network approaches. So there you have it! Thank you Šárka for the awesome explanation of these two advanced settings :)

I'm glad you added this. Tutorials should never include the phrase "I'm guessing". (just have a look around the web at people doing "Compound Blur" tutorials... just... wow!). BTW, to better blend interim key frames where you have had to update the overlay mid shot, you can not only let EbS run forwards but also run it backwards to lay in the tweak in the reverse direction on top of your previous changes. Think of it as getting closer to perfect with each iteration, and EbS having a more perfect section to remap onto.

Honestly if you were to ask me what was faked, I'd point out the row of kids standing behind each other before even realizing the ties were gone

The quality of this channel is ridiculous. You're amazing dude, thanks for the video!

I have been using it for some months to create a music video that consists of scenes that are drawn/painted. This is the first app that easily projects a painted version of one or more frames on the underlying material and the result looks consistent (instead of processing each frame in Studio Artist for instance). I am so loving the results. Sometimes I am just watching the frames getting written in real-time. I hope more people get to find out about it and have fun with it. While doing all of this, I also had to learn a lot more about motion tracking, rotoscoping, and what have you, because I was making the shots more complicated after finishing the last. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible. So now I am watching a smoke simulation from Blender being rendered out. That will be comped in After Effects, keyframes processed and painted over, and then through EbSynth, and more work in AE. It is unbelievable how much one can do these days with software that is available for free or cheap (I guess DaVinci Resolve is a good alternative for AE). Your imagination really is becoming the only limit. This video is a great example of how EbSynth can bring really cool solutions. Not only funny animations or deepdreamgenerator movies that make you wonder if there was something weird in your coffee. Thanks for a great video!

This is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for putting so much effort into your videos!

Even the softwares name sounds magical

Okay, now that's purely magic

This is a great tutorial, dude. A few editors have been trying to convince me to use EbSynth for months now but I've convinced me. Nice work.

thank you for mentioning how EBSynth handles transparency. I've been scouring the internet for this info

I can honestly say that your videos are some of the best out there on these topics, Ive been learning after effects for the past couple of months and these videos are perfect in every way for my situation, I know the basics, but Im not a proffesional. you. are. amazing.

Looks like it is just a color adjustment with a texture overlay. The transition to the sepia was most likely done with a matte effect.

1. Keyframe the footage layer's scale up to about 105% , over about 12-18 frames (assuming 24fps - do 15-20 frames if it's 30fps). 2. Use either Timewarp, a time remap, or something like Twixtor to slow the footage down to a still frame - and keyframe that to take the same amount of time. About half a second. 3. duplicate the layer. hide the one on top and ignore it for now. 4. underneath the hidden copy, and above the bottom copy, add three things, in this order (bottom to top): an empty Adjustment Layer, an empty Solid, and a paper texture of your choice. Just grab something from like, unsplash. doesn't matter. 4a. Make sure to parent this texture layer is parented to one of the footage layers, so that it zooms in with everything else. 5. on the adjustment layer, add CC toner and tweak the colors to your liking. 6. on the solid, add a Fractal Noise effect. You want this to be nice and subtle, so: 6a. turn the complexity down to like, 1.5 or 2. 6b. turn the scale of the noise up to around 200. 6c. keyframe the evolution of the noise very slowly - no more than 15-30 degrees per second. 6d. add a Levels effect. raise the output black - and lower the output white - both to very close to the middle. adjust this to taste. 6e. add a Gaussian Blur if the noise is still too sharp. 7. set the fractal noise and the paper texture both to Overlay blending mode. 8. re-enable the top copy of the footage. 9. on that top layer, add Extract. animate the parameters so that the top layer goes away bright areas first, over the course of that half second. Increase the softness to make it more subtle. 10. Add "Refine Soft Matte" and turn off "Decontaminate edge colors" or whatever it's called. 11. ...add a paper crinkling sound effect. You'd be amazed how much heavy lifting the sound designers do when it comes to VFX shots. 12. go back and tweak the scale keyframes (of both footage layers!) so that the zoom in a little slower than the other parts of the transition. That should be it. Tweak all the keyframes and settings until you like it, and you're done! Keep in mind I didn't test this out, I'm just coming up with this on the spot. I think it should get you pretty close to the same transition, though.

Quick comment on the advanced settings used in this video. They slowed my render down lots. A two hour job became five. Worse I had a classic AI overfitting problem leading to distortion which disappeared when I reran using the defaults. The author does a great job in this video explaining why he made these choices. My project was very different (de-aging). Just giving a heads up to perhaps try the defaults on a small clip depending on project type to avoid wasting lots of valuable time.

This is FREE? I was expecting it to cost a ton. Can't wait to try it out!

This video was probably a lot of work to edit. Great job!

This is dope man, make more videos please.

Very informative! Also, your tutorial has no fluff... it is all content! 👍

This is great. I recently made a video about EbSynth as well, but I haven’t tried using multiple keyframes yet. I’ll have to give that a try. Your workflow seems very refined! One question though- is there a reason why you chose to use a Luma matte instead of the new Rotobrush in AE? I was assuming just to show what EbSynth can do but I wasn’t sure if there was another reason. Anyways, great job and I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

Good job.

Dude. You have hit the algorithm. Congrats, it it well deserved.

AI effects are getting crazy! Been using skeeter to isolate the vocals from movies, it worth insanely well and fast!

When I studied film/video, Final Cut and After Effects were near mythical programs that very few non professionals had access to. I was doing image sequence edits in Photoshop FOUR, manually, frame by bloody frame. I once spent 8 hours on an exploding head. The technology coming out today, especially the open source freeware stuff, would have been UNTHINKABLE back then. Low budget indie filmmaking has become accessible to all. . . for better and for worse. Can't wait to see what cheap/free software will be capable of in another 25 years.

Nice trick with the Luma matte. Personally I would have opted for the Roto Brush, especially with the new 2.0 out now. But it's a toss up how well that would work in the low-lit shot.

Great Video, very handy tool. I have a feeling that they used ebsynth to get rid of Henry Cavill's mustache in Justice League lol

Aw man, I would so use this program to change the style of the ties for their uniforms to match how they looked in the first two Harry Potter films

Hi there, I just found your channel, great content, very useful! I have question, in 5:33 when the "yuck" appears, how do you do that? everytime I tried to do something like that I had to use a caligraphic font and then with strokes, trims and alpha channels make it appeared as "written", I can see by looking frame by frame that you use a different technique to achieve this because the lines in the K of YUCK appear on top of each other as individual lines, I am curious about it, hope you can share. Thanks! Edit: had to correct some spelling, not native english speaker here :)
