Who am I?
My name is Mohamed Mehrez and I create videos about visual effects and filmmaking
techniques. Over the past few years, I've gained a community of viewers who are interested in
digital art, video effects, and using AI in their creative projects.

[@MDMZ]

The great thing about this method is that you don't need any digital painting skills to achieve the stylized look. let A.I do its magic!

[@lindestudio4952]

If we let AI do everything, then we don't need even to exist 😂. What is the use of showing something that has not be made with your skills or at least some of your effort? I like technology so much, but I think that the human skills should always be there to consider a creation as ART. That's my humble opinion

[@OrdinaryPersonah]

It doesn't sound so exciting to me

[@dolyyousuf9260]

And get the digital artist fired from their jobs

[@virtual_intel]

You mis-categorized the video by saying Ebsynth is a AI tool of sorts. Hopefully you did the research before hand or after this video being created and know now. Either way I do love what Ebsynth can do for us content creators who dig deep enough to use it to its full potential. Nice tut on it all.

[@1hitkill973]

Yeah. But A.I. demands a pretty beefy PC or else it looks down on us like peasants.

[@davadh]

Thanks for sharing your process! I think this has a lot of potential to grow. Using the Prequel App is a huge help, initially I thought I would need to redraw everything from scratch but this would save a ton of time. All I would do is go in an fix some of the details on the face, especially the eyes for the mid to wide shows.

[@guyinyourphone7426]

Your result still won't get anywhere close to real animation or won't ever look as good as the show arcane. So looking at this professionally it's not usable, but i guess you can use it as a filter for videos on Snapchat or something I guess.

[@ScottThePisces]

I love how far we've come with animation capabilities in video, we really had to go frame by frame to get these effects years ago

[@MDMZ]

Absolutely, and this is just the beginning, the things we can do with A.I nowadays are mindblowing!

[@sien_visuals6394]

You know what I like about you? You listened to your viewers. I saw when you began adding voice to your tutorials. In all honesty, I don't think a video without a voice is a REAL tutorial. It's just a WATCH ME DO THIS COOL STUFF. Nice

[@MDMZ]

Wow thanks a lot! 🙏

[@umarnaq]

This is incredible! Amazing results.

[@MDMZ]

Thank you Umar

[@i_shubm]

This dude comes out with the easiest but amazing tutorials. Your vids have helped me a lot in creating a good showreel. Keep it up. Thanks a lot

[@MDMZ]

Glad to hear it!

[@Shengmea]

I love this one ! Seems complicated but it's worth it .so beautiful to see urself in cartoon pic..

[@corimyers4985]

I agree this is a filter, but I can see using this as a quick way to animate a video you soot of your own. I’m think this would allow me to film myself then paint over me with one of my game characters for my visual novel/game. I shall have Tp test this out when I get time. Thanks!

[@kpopandotherplaylists2518]

On a legal aspect, it could justifisbly be called original content.... Hmmm🤔🤞🙄

[@anmayo917]

This is amazing, thank you!!!! I'll definitely use that

[@Hugozen]

Your soothing voice made me smile. Great work!

[@constantinvasiliev2065]

Wonderful. Thank you!

[@gavinlew8273]

Very interesting! It's like a cartoon filter.

[@KevKrieger32]

A really cool effect! Hopefully a plugin will be release someday that does everything in one step. Maybe even in real time like for streaming

[@MDMZ]

it's just a matter of time

[@dingdong896]

This is some load of shit fr

[@marc9242]

While this is cool and all I still don't like this method I'd rather endure a long process than using A.I drawing it all traditionally or digitally and inking, coloring it feels more rewarding for me. Using this process for "fun" I can definitely get behind it, the cel shading looks pretty legit and cool to look at

[@MDMZ]

Fair enough!

[@virtual_intel]

Folks Ebsynth isn't a AI tool, just figured I'd mention it. Neat animation technique though using such a video editing software.

[@tale_play]

This is impressive and looks so much fun. I am on board with this kind of technology becoming more and more useful. I always wanted to see how we'd look as anime or cartoon characters in a video format.

[@MDMZ]

it's getting better real fast

[@LifeMakeoverwithDee]

Thanks for sharing ! I have been looking for an app like this ! Cot you a new subscriber !

[@user-hb7he6fe6p]

Style looks like arcane, nice

[@wisboy1584]

soo cooll

[@WerewolfMaster]

Dude... I mean... There's a difference between anime and animated. It's simply animated filter enchanced with AI.

[@FelonDog]

Agreed. I skipped through the video while saying the entire time, "It's just a filter.....It's just a filter!" And it looks like complete shit to boot. lmao Snapchat filters are already way better than this and have been for years now. lol

[@guyinyourphone7426]

@HLM Lmao, you literally don't know anything about animation or the art industry. And this shit won't even make your mom proud kid. You are clearly not an artist and this won't make you one either. And this footage doesn't even come close to what real animation in the show arcane looks like.

[@guyinyourphone7426]

@HLM why do you think no one in your field is doing it? Cause this is not animation or art AND THIS CAN BE DONE BY ANYONE. First off all IF this was usable then literally anyone could do it and thinking someone's gonna pay you a 100k for this shit that can be done by anyone is low IQ. Secondly this is new but not " Unique " , it's same as you calling snapchat filters unique. And that story about how you became SOOOO GOOD at art is lame 😂

[@guyinyourphone7426]

@HLM yah good luck making a 100K with this technique. I am sure Disney and pixar are firing all their artists and animators and planning on hiring you.

[@guyinyourphone7426]

@HLM I was quoting you when I talked about 100k dollars , and now you try to take the higher ground. I can't say if you are creative or not but i can say for sure you are very smart 😌

[@Nonso.o]

I pray to reach your level in editing. I honestly don't know what you where talking about lol but someday I will surely reach your level

[@robertpaterson5477]

This is perfect for my current project. Do you know if there is a way using AI to convert an image file to make it look like it was shot on 35mm film?

[@norauniverseindia3161]

Thanks dude

you are welcome :)

[@justinyooniverse]

I still get the error message even after chaning to 1920 1080, any fix to this? (edit: i fixed my own problem i noticed that my original pictures were 4k not 1080)

[@CJ-uy6pw]

Thanks

[@Gorguruga]

This was a great video but I found one very brief part the most amazing. At around 1:00 you mention the style reference frame can be painted on to the character. It looks like by doing that you can effectively CGI the character into a totally different character. Is that true?

[@MDMZ]

pretty much yes, but the accuracy is a hit and miss

[@petekola4968]

This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you.

[@MDMZ]

Glad u like it

[@rofidel178]

Si bien genera una paleta de color interesante le falta el dinamismo y expresividad que suele tener la animación

[@NextToons]

Will I get any copyright if I upload video on KZbin using this trick???

[@Fyleps]

Correct me I am wrong but the key frame part seems a very hard working part if you are not doing a continuos scene like in the video, you have to "Prequel" each time the camera changes, for example, ia a dialogue of 1min you have to "prequel" many times, right? and the Prequel App is pay-for-use, do you have any alternative for it?

[@MDMZ]

yep you're right, check my newest video on how to stylize with stable diffusion, similar results, faster process, and SD is free

[@prettystory]

amazing👍

[@MDMZ]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MiceAndRatEnrichment]

Wow!

[@RasmusSchultz]

Lower your frame rate to say 15 fps and this will look much less like a video filter. Also, I wonder if adding some noise (or a noise displacement filter) would help add a more hand drawn feel? Good start though. 🙂

[@MDMZ]

Thanks for the idea!

[@cjsaray]

Does Imovie allow you to access individual frame shots or do I need another video editor?

[@MDMZ]

you should be able to do it in iMovie

You can use VLC instead of Media encoder for export the frames

to export a single frame or all video frames? I didnt know that
