There are two filters in mind for this but for me they always crashed Vdub. I never got them to work. I have been looking around for the same thing. If anyone knows of any working cartooning filters that would be great. |

this filter works but you must force single buffer in filter options.

also, be aware that this takes a lot of processing power.
a much better way is to use photoshop
you can download a 30 day full working version from adobe
if you dont have photoshop, here is a freeware which does each picture at a time but this requires you convert your movie into an image sequence

Thanks evropej. That was one of the filters I had issues with, until now. That frame buffer setting solves the crash issue. So this is kind of like a compatibility mode?
From what I just read Vdub uses two frame buffers for keeping track with other filters or their actions? If I'm understanding that right?
Update - works but the process is dead slow. 0.06fps, lol. |

Phaeron told me about this a while ago and I dont know exactly why its a problem, I am not familiar with vdub coding. But, once I got it working, I was not happy with the filter effect of introducing random noise. So the better option is to photosketcher or photoshop. MSU site looks like its not being updated that often so I doubt you could get them to change anything. At least it doest crash now though |

Flaxen's filter goes down even with the forced setting. That was the other one I had used in the past along with MSU's version.
Yeah it looks like those other options would be the way to go. I just canceled out from a 0.05 - 0.07fps encode, lol.
Now I don't feel as bad with HD processing being slow. Compared with this it makes slow HD processing seem blazingly fast, lol. |

I once had a program called "Imtoo" but it wasn't free. I'll give the photosketcher one a whirl.
Update: OOOH this is nice! |

I thank you very much for the many suggestions and opinion, but I saw the results that it's possible to obtaine easily with the effects in Windows Movie Maker. Thanks, Valkauda. |
