Turn FCPX video into a flip book cartoon, graphic novel, or painting with ProTrace™ by Pixel Film Studios™. In the click of a button, trace images with chalk, watercolor paint, or color pencils. With ProTrace™, turn any film into a hand-drawn work of art.

ProTrace Final Cut Pro X Contains the Following Features:

Chalk: Take footage to school with the Chalk plugin. This plugin was professionally created to turn footage into a realistic chalk-drawn cartoon that can composite onto a real chalkboard background. Chalk is a must have plugin for giving footage a cool, hand-drawn look.

Paints: Turn clips into a moving piece of art with the Paint plugin. This is a great effect for giving stories a fantasitical feel without having to hand-paint thousands of stills. ProTrace™ also includes the Watercolor plugin which works great on a bold footage with sharp definitions and outlines.

Blueprint: Use the Blueprint effect on footage of buildings or products to create a beautiful moving blueprint diagram. The plugin works great on images with sharp defined edges.

Pencil Sketch: Make video into a pencil sketch cartoon without using thousands of pieces of paper. This plugin combined with the Frame Rate Adjustment plugin is a great way to make your footage into a fun flip book style cartoon. The Pencil plugin works best on wide shots.

Color Pencil plugins are also included. For high contrast source footage, there is a Charcoal plugin in ProTrace™.

Bank Note: Use the Bank Note plugin to make film look like it was etched and printed on money. Adjust the hue of your footage to imitate the currency of different countries.

Comic Book: The Comic plugin can outline subjects with ink and shade them in with a halftone pattern giving your footage a printed, Pop Art appearance. Newspaper plugin, also included in ProTrace™. These plugins work best on wide shots.
