Ebsynth

What if you could transform an entire video by simply editing one frame?

RecommendedEbSynth offers a powerful and creative approach to video transformation by leveraging single-frame edits, making it a valuable tool for artists and animators seeking precise visual control.

EbSynth is VFX software that transforms videos by propagating visual changes from a single edited keyframe across an entire video sequence. It enables creative video transformations, retouching, and rotoscopy, allowing users to turn performances into hand-drawn animations or effortlessly retouch and colorize footage.

FAQ

Is EbSynth an AI tool?

The core video propagation in EbSynth uses a texture-synthesis algorithm, not AI. It only uses your video and keyframes. However, there is an optional AI feature, 'Generate Image', that uses the SDXL 1.0 model to help generate keyframes.

Does EbSynth store my projects or data?

No, your projects stay on your computer. EbSynth temporarily uploads your video and keyframes to its servers for rendering, then immediately deletes them once results are sent back. Data is not stored online, shared, or used for AI training. A Studio Plan is available for fully offline processing.

What are the best practices for getting good results with EbSynth?

For keyframes, start with one, add more to fix broken areas, choose frames with clear poses, align shapes carefully, and use transparent backgrounds for isolated elements. For guiding video, use soft lighting, textured clothes, and higher frame rates for fast movement to improve tracking.
