Filter: Roto Toon.

This filter has the full spectrum of ToonIt! options. Roto Toon contains the internal rotoscoping and edge detection composited together to produce a fully-fledged cartoon effect. Three rotoscoping algorithms plus a half-tone effect, the entire Outlines set, individual blurring and detail parameters... The works!

Many choices for stylization.

There are many parameters in Roto Toon. Choose from one of three 'Roto' settings: Roto 1, Roto 2 and Roto 3. Decide qualities like 'Flatness', 'Simplicity', 'Halftone' and 'Soft Strength'.

The parameters for the Outlines Only filter are all included in Roto Toon. This allows you to experiment with different line weights and styles, or turn 'Outlines' off completely.

This movie begins as ArtBeats stock footage, then shifts into a gorgeous toon'ed version. [play] (4.0 mb)

Experiment quickly with looks.

Want your cartoon to look different? It's just a matter of clicking a few options on or off.

Perhaps you like the pencilled and inked edges of a graphic novel; black lines with no direct shading. Use 'Comic' settings to add harsh comic-book style edges with a little rough shading to your footage.

Want a stippled look? Activate and experiment with 'Stipple' settings to use varying densities of noise to shade your image.

There are 'Shadow' settings to fill in the cartoon color fields with a dark value. Alternately, you can use 'Tint Foreground' to leave the footage colors but wipe out darks.

Our toon'ed movie has 'Stippling' activated. [play] (12.0 mb)
