Using EbSynth with DaVinci Resolve: Tutorial

[@dots560]

"the mouth still haunts my dreams" Lol Thanks for sharing this. I'll definitely try it out.

[@CBSuper]

Lol. Thanks for watching that much of the video!

[@peterbixby]

watercolor effect is amazing

[@CBSuper]

I think its a very cool effect.

[@CrazyDe3r]

i don't get it, when i import all my frames hitting CTRL A it just imports every single .png file but no video...

[@CBSuper]

May have changed since then.

[@neilseiffer]

Can I use EbSynth to remove/replace the background, or change it to green so I can chromakey the the background from the moving subject?

[@CBSuper]

Might be possible, haven’t tried it though.

[@robbiyoung85]

This is a great thing to try

[@CBSuper]

Its a fun little animation tool.

[@mohammedfarooq1297]

Learned a lot from this video, thank for uploading this video. May i ask you what computer(machine) you are using for this work

[@CBSuper]

Nothing too crazy. Amd 3900x (12 core), 128gb ram, and some quick nvme drives. My gpu is a rtx 3090.

[@trillvillestudios9303]

Thanks for the tutorial! I am running into a problem: when I move my animated .png files to DaVinci, it shows them only as frames and not the full clip. Any tips on how to solve that problem?

[@CBSuper]

Use a video format. A photo format will come in as a sequence.

Here's a video with the solution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qrZ6mfoax5epY

@@jrucker6291 good guy, Jason.

Thanks for the video! How many key frames should you use for something that has 1300 individual frames?

[@CBSuper]

It depends on the video. Sometimes you can get away with a few and sometimes you need more. Id start with 2 or 3 and see how it turns out. If it starts to lose the frames at a certain point, put a new key in there where it glitches out.

[@acehilm.]

@@CBSuper thank you heaps ! Appreciate the response.

[@worldscalephotography]

Whats the best way to animate from keyframe to keyframe? What im doing is creating one keyframe, then let it run, then find another one from the output and 'fix it', but I don't think it animates from one key frame to the other, creates a few 'jobs' for each keyframe ? or maybe it does? would be great if you could make a tutorial on that or give me some directions to a place with this information

[@CBSuper]

Sorry. I never dis get a great result with ebsynth. It’s interesting, but definitely a difficult tool to get specific results.

[@worldscalephotography]

@@CBSuper I just saw in the FAQs that it would use a keyframe to create other frames up and down until the other keyframe, and that keyframe would have a seperate 'video', and you need to merge it all with crossfades.. doesn't sound like a great method. would have been much better to morph from one keyframe to the next. It seems they sort of abandoned it in a way.. they said also that you won't need to export a picture stream just upload the video, but that was years ago..

[@bratwurstmeister1]

Interesting. Why not stylize the key frame in PS and give it a comic look or what ever is desired? Much faster than messing with polygons on Fusion. Keep the good work up

[@CBSuper]

Photoshop would definitely have been quicker and less painful.

[@gary-songwriter]

Watched a few videos on Ebsynth recently. And I've realised that I seem to be the only one who pronounces it "E flat synth." 😆

[@CBSuper]

It vary well could be E flat, never know.

[@dacorn.]

thank you

[@CBSuper]

Welcome!

[@viralmasters3658]

lol yeah they solid color does not need to be black

[@CBSuper]

Right

[@THCHUMOUR]

neat

[@CBSuper]

Still time consuming but less so than actual hand drawn animation.

[@ETVELTALLERDELOSVIDEOS]

I must be blind, I can't find ebsynth in the tools section of your web neither in the products page

[@CBSuper]

EbSynth is a stand alone program that can be found at Ebsynth.com. Sorry if that wasn’t clear in the video.

[@RBBlackstone]

Looks like “E flat Synth” to me. Lol

[@CBSuper]

Ha. It very well may be.

[@sergentboucherie]

Too bad there is no Linux support, it looks fun to mess with

[@CBSuper]

Ahh too bad. I wish linux got more big box support.

[@fullman777]

CO OL

[@CBSuper]

Thanks!

[@henryrobusto5415]

PERFECT

[@CBSuper]

Thanks!
