Studio Artist is the first and only software program that can automatically paint, draw and auto-rotoscope. Studio Artist examines a source image or video and then re-renders it in the style you choose, automatically or interactively.
Studio Artist 3.5 includes over 4000 paint presets plus hundreds of factory effects all completely editable. Apply any effect on a still image or video. Instantly create paintings, vector art, effect processed images or keyframe animations. Add warping, morphing, texture synthesis and much more. Anything that you can do with a still image can be applied automatically to a video source creating stunning one-of-a-kind effects.
Unlike other paint programs with a small number of editable parameters, Studio Artist’s Graphics Synthesizer module has hundreds of editable controls. This kind of control enables Studio Artist to produce unlimited lush dynamic and complex paints while allowing for the randomness or happy accidents of real art materials.
Studio Artist can auto-paint or rotoscope QuickTime video frame-by-frame automatically. Studio Artist has a full range of image processing filters and unique visual effects. Custom art processes can be designed that combine paint operations and image processing filters as Paint Action Sequences.
Every editable parameter in Studio Artist can be keyframe animated over time creating an unlimited range of dynamic video effects. This includes paint strokes, both manual and automatic, as well as the many image processing, texture synthesis, and region selection tools.
Studio Artist takes a lot of ideas from music synthesis and audio software and applies them to graphics and digital painting, hence the notion of a graphical synthesizer. Studio Artist is also the first and only digital paint program to incorporate human visual modeling based on research in human perception and computational neuroscience, which is why it’s able to automatically paint images or video.
