Paint a clip in oils. Textures merge into strokes of flat color while the edges between shapes stay crisp, which gives each frame the look of a painted canvas.

Brush size and vibrance

Brush Size sets how much detail is merged into each stroke. Small brushes keep faces; large brushes reduce a scene to bold color masses. Vibrance raises saturation before painting, for the rich pigment of real oil paint.

Canvas and motion

Canvas Texture adds a woven surface over the paint. On video, strokes form again on every frame and shimmer slightly where the picture is noisy; clean, well-lit footage paints most steadily.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the brush filter work?

It is a Kuwahara filter. For each pixel it looks at four overlapping squares around it, picks the one with the least color variation, and takes that square's average. Flat areas smooth out while edges stay sharp, which reads as brushwork.

Why is Brush Size measured on a 720p frame?

It is the filter radius in pixels on a frame with a 720 px short edge, scaled to the frame being processed, so a 1080p export is painted with the same proportions as the preview.

Is it slow to export?

It is one of the heavier effects: each pixel compares four squares of neighbours, and the cost grows with Brush Size. Expect long clips at large brush sizes to take a while.

What happens to the audio?

It is copied into the export unchanged when the container can hold its codec, and re-encoded when it cannot. A note under the export button says which happened.

Emboss Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a lit relief, as if pressed into metal or paper. Set depth, light angle, blend, and whether color is kept; depth scales with the output size. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Glow Video Effect

Make the bright parts of every video frame glow: bloom around lights and highlights with an optional color tint. Set strength, radius, threshold, and glow color; the radius scales with the output size. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Neon Outline Video Effect

Trace the edges in every frame of a video as glowing neon tubes over a darkened picture. Set neon color, glow radius, intensity, and background dim; the glow scales with the output size. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Stained Glass Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into a stained glass window: Voronoi glass cells with lead lines and texture, on a layout that stays fixed while the colors move. Set glass scale, cell variance, lead thickness, and lead color. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Engraving Video Effect

Turn every frame of a video into an antique engraving: hatch lines that follow the form, crosshatching in the shadows, and etched edges that move slightly on every frame. Set ink and paper colors, exposure, and line density. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
