Sketching effect

[Autraya]

other than luma keying some red speed (angled, in greys with lotsa tweaking and then it looks shitty) I'm trying to find some thing that looks like there's shading/sketching goin on under my video.
Anyone know of a plug-in that's similar and I tried the sapphire auto paint it's not what I'm after?

.. a before and after shot would help big-time

[Autraya]

indeed it would, hence my problem 'cause I know what it looks like in my head I don't know how to do it -_-

Corran wrote a sketch() AVS function. I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

Code: Select all

function sketch (clip a, int "threshold", int "strength", int "luma_cap"){
    strength = Default(strength, 48)
    luma_cap = Default(luma_cap, 191)
    thresh = Default(threshold, 4)

    b = Eval("a.FastLineDarken(strength="+String(strength)+",\
          threshold="+String(thresh)+",luma_cap="+String(luma_cap)+",\
          thinning=0)")
    c = Subtract(a,b).Levels(120, 1, 140, 0, 255)
    d = c.Levels(120, 1.5, 140, 0, 255).Invert()

    Return d
}

(does requre FastLineDarken() and MaskTools 1.5.1, not sure if they're in the newest AMVApp)

Video Gogh by ReVision is one to check out.

Tinderbox 2 also has the best plugin for outlining I've seen for AE called Contour.
