So after so trial an error, I kind of found the effect required for acieving the scanner darkly effect.
I used a default 'Image Operation" operation mode.The category was simplify, color simplify 4.
The output was kind of what I wanted but I had to man
Read more…I know this is huge ask, but it would be super helpful to be able to create MSGs and PASEQs, programatically. This would vastly increase the animation potential of SA.
We can create individual MSG, right now, but it is a manual and labor intensive op

I am looking for artists that are able to create customised presets in Synthetik or are fluent with code art in order to collaborate for the NFT project.
I have bunch of videos for our project that are needed to be enhanced with the futuristic/cybe

Below is how i co
Read more…I keep noticing that almost no one is approaching video processing in Studio Artist the way it's setup to really do it. And i think part of the problem is that folks are used to working in other video programs like FCP, AFTEFX, PRIMR etc, where thei

I'm attaching the memories file I worked from and the the last movie test, ignore the lack of aesthetics please.

I've been lurking in the forum and other SA reference areas for a couple of days and reading all manner of written information about doing animation, via drawing with a Wacom tablet (finally purchased one!) and with SA, and I have not been

Question about how the src skip movie preference works. Have a 1800+ frame clip that I'm working on. I set the src skip preference to skip every 2 frames and I am using the source movie timing.
When watching on PASeq playback, I don't
Read more…Hey all,
Is there a keystroke or command to delete all keyframes from a PASeq step (or to at least reset the step to its default keyframe on one?)
If there's not, I want to add that to the Studio Artist wish list!
Read more…Building a paint animation strategy and then recording a paint action sequence (PASeq) to implement your paint animation strategy is the key to building successful movie process or auto-rotoscope effects in Studio Artist.
There are many factory PAS

I spent part of today warping images with IOs that I'd never found much success with. I like how they warp when animated but would like to be able to reverse engineer the process to take the image back to its original state. Any tips? The process I'

But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
