Hi there!
I am trying to figure out how to draw a path, and have control over the timing. With all those hundreds of parameters in the editor, there must be a way of emulating what one can do in Motion or After Effects or Resolve. As opposed to thos

I'm a new user and I'm really enjoying the program so far. However there's this one thing I can't seem to figure out. I'm doing a rotoscoped video using the Paint Action Sequence and the brush preset I'm using is the WaterColor Sketch.

Hi all,
I have created a custom PASeq using a couple of action steps from the Vectorizer and Paint Synthesizer Classic. The rest of the steps are taken mostly from factory PASeq for movies however I have been having an issue with one of those steps.

I'm running into a problem where my vectorizer isn't generating paths when I r

I recently was asked how to lighten up a dark painting generated by the Paint Styles : AutoPaint : AutoFill paint preset. So i'll run through a few different approaches here. My initial 'dark' painted canvas is shown below:
Hey gang,
Anyone have a good definition of what the path brush is? I've been doing some experiments with Paint Fill Setup on a brush that's been reinitialized to get a better visual concept of what it does and I'm a little stumped.

Many thanks

But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening.
