The effects use real hand-drawn and hand-painted textures, which gives the effects their authentic look. These "Dynamic Textures" blend multiple high-resolution photos to make various paper, fabric, pencil strokes, paint splatters, and many other textures which are constantly changing - so no two frames are the same.

(Expand to see the presets)
The following example images show the main art effects (presets), in alphabetical order, applied to the same three images. Additional presets exist within some art effects, offering even more unique looks. Everything can be customized, including features like outlines, shading, colors, detail level, and art surface (e.g., paper, canvas, chalkboard, etc.).
ORIGINAL IMAGES
Any footage, image, animation, or text will work. For best results, use footage that is properly exposed, with good dynamic range (white whites and black blacks). Closeups and footage with less detail look best with most mediums.
8-BIT ANIMATION
8-Bit Animation refers to the pixelated graphics seen in early video games and arcade games from the 80s and 90s, but there's a lot more going on here than just pixelation. Several custom effects were borrowed from the Creation VHS Effects template to create the look of an old CRT monitor. You can choose to keep the monitor effect, or go with the "clean" version (image 3).
BUILDING BRICKS
You may know them as LEGO's, but the generic term is building bricks or building blocks. This effect imitates the stacking of different-colored bricks to form the image from your footage. It has over 20 customization controls, including brick size and color controls.
CHALK ON CHALKBOARD
This unique Chalk on Chalkboard effect draws your footage in chalk and puts it on a continuously-changing chalkboard texture. Easily invert it from coloring in dark areas to coloring in light areas. Over 20 controls allow you to customize features like the shading and outline. Use the custom matte to control where the image appears on the chalkboard.
CHARCOAL 1
This Charcoal effect converts your footage to a soft charcoal pencil drawing. With over 20 customization controls and over 20 paper textures, you can create a beautiful custom drawing tailored to your footage. This charcoal effect is also included in the Pencil Sketch Effect template.
CHARCOAL 2
This Charcoal effect presents a second option for using the dark, texture-rich charcoal medium. It works differently and looks different from the Charcoal 1 effect, but features the same customization options for the shading and outline. The pencil stroke textures can be customized as well. This charcoal effect is also included in the Pencil Sketch Effect template.
CLAYMATION
You probably wouldn't think of 2D-animation when you think of clay animation... perhaps because this was the first time it's been done! This Claymation effect simulates thin layers of different-colored clay, either stacked or arranged together to form the image from your footage. You can use the colors from your footage, or assign your own colors to the six clay texture layers. Customize features like texture, detail amount, and shadows using the 27 customization controls. The Claymation Effect is also sold separately.
COLORED PENCIL
Any pencil-drawn effect in this template can be converted to a colored pencil effect if you add the "Use Colors From Footage" effect that's included in the template. But this Colored Pencil effect was built with colored pencil in mind, and the medium translates beautifully to moving video footage. There are 27 customization controls for adjusting both the outline and fill. This colored pencil effect is also included in the Pencil Sketch Effect template.
CRAYON
Let's face it - crayon gets no respect. But for the right project, the Crayon effect could be the perfect medium. This effect includes 28 customization controls and optional stray crayon marks - like a child's messy drawing.
CRYSTAL
A dazzling and mesmerizing effect when in motion, this stylized look is one of the many creative looks for footage included in the
