so interesting...I rememeber thinking about this back in the early 2000s, when you used to get corrupted videos with missing keyframes, and it would just use the previous one creating some very weird effects on playback. Looking forward to playing with it.
In case no one has laid it out- Ebsynth can be used with ffmpeg start to finish. No need for After Effects and Premiere for seeing how it works.

I’ve been experimenting with it and getting some fantastic results. Tks secret weapons. It would be really great if it could blend the frames at the adjacent ends of 2 intervals together, or if it used all of the stylized keyframes at once to synthesize a full scene, because otherwise there’s no way to seamlessly do a longer scene with multiple key frames unless the style you’re going for lends itself to a normal cross fade. That being said this is much less of an issue if the background is separated from the subject as was demonstrated. Excited to experiment w it more

Very cool thank you! this software definitely needs an option to change the brush stroke from one frame to another, in case we don't want it to be as smooth as that.
Any chance for more info on using multiple keyframes. I feel like rendering the whole thing over and over again based on how many keys you have is pretty tedious and could be combined better in software?
Try this: If you have all your keyframes in one folder, it's important that there is no more than 24 keyframes in there... you can then select the first one on ebsynth and they will all load up. Then select synth all. They will all be in new different folders and you will have some of the same frames in different folders because it overlaps. But you just go through and put the best ones into a new final frame folder. If you have more that 24 keyframes then just put the rest in a different folder and do the same like a "part B" folder. Hope that helped!
thank you for this video, and the software! Joel Haver introduced me to it via his tutorial video, and I'm very excited to give it a try as someone with absolutely no animation experience!
So if I have 2 keyframes (that I manipulated in photoshop let's say) and have both synthesize for the whole sequence, do I then transition between them in some editing software? Is there a way to output a single sequence that accounts for both keyframes or do I have to do some transitioning? Thank you for the AMAZING tool!!!!
@@sebastienledivenah3067 Transitioning.. you put keyframes in between and save in different folders lets say.. from there you pick best looking footage. Still impressive but better if they let A.I decide and output ONE final result.
You even can see in the referenceprojects that a switch from one key to a different key can be visible if the keys are not accurate to each other. Especially if you are using a more realistic style than an art style. It could be an idea to make a morphing transition over a few frames. I didn't try it yet.
i just tried this finally, and it really isnt what i was expecting. looks more like motion transfer of a style keyframe than actual style transfer. and no, it does not do any estimation of two different styles or transitioning sadly.
To my understanding you "assign" each keyframe a range of video frames. I made 1st frame to, say 35th frame, to be handled by "Key 35", and so on. If the assigned frame range overlap then it might get messy, that's why she said to set up different folders for different keyframes. I'd say just be careful with the frame numbers and you'll be fine. I'm not sure how does the placement of the keyframe in the chunk affect the quality of the result, or how good is the blend between the chunks. Someone with a fast machine can test it. TL;DR : imgur.com/a/YNEXxvt
You can set as many keyframes as you want. It works the same way as with a single key. You can set for each key a different out folder so you get seperated results from each key. Basically you can render the full scene with every key and you can copy all "good" frames to a final out folder (by hand) and you will have the best result for the complete scene with the number of keys you have used. At the beginning you may not know how many keys you will need, but you will learn that quickly by looking at the result. Whenever the scene gets corupted or to washed awy you will need a new key arround there somewhere.
@@Armuotas Hey I'm getting this error when I'm trying to run the synth, 'stop frame is smaller than start' what's the error exactly and what should I try to fix
@@hahasaha8171 Hey, to be honest I already forgot what I was writing about. I don't have the software anymore. It was just a passing comment. From the top of my head: make the stop frame higher number than the start. You are putting finishing line before the start line, so to speak.

Love this software. I am confused about one thing though. In the example we had an image sequence of 148 frames. Then two job orders were placed with different painted keyframes, but both were told to work on the whole sequence. Would this give us two directories of rendered 148 frames, or combine into one. See what I have been doing when I have enough frames to warrant multiple keyframes is ending the job list of a keyframe before the next. Example: Keyframe 30 deals with 00 to 60 ,and keyframe 90 deals with 61 to 120. As a result I always get a little jump in the middle. So is what you're saying that multiple keyframes, told to analyse the same frames, can collaborate to create one directory which minimises the temporal incoherence in that jump between reference frames? Or are you creating two directories of output frames, and if so how do you reconcile them to avoid temporal incoherence. I absolutely love this software, thank you so much for making it accessible for free.
What an awesome video, I'm just now learning about Ai prompt engineering and first heard about EB Synth from the guess at corridor digital. I can't wait to start playing with this, I have some pretty cool ideas for it!
Hi, I have a problem! After the software has finished rendering, I cannot find any images in the folders. I followed all the steps of the tutorial. I turned the CPU on and off, I lowered the quality, but nothing, I still don't see any images. When I try to "export AE" the video is all black.
One question, what would happen if you use the second keyframe? Will you end up with 2 output folders? and if so, how you combine the png's to create the whole video?
This is incredible! Great tutorial, too. I am having a problem: every time I render a video of my own with ebsynth, the png files keep coming out black, but the sample project works fine. I don't get it. I FIGURED IT OUT! I was trying to render a video out at 3840 x 2160 resolution, and brought it down to 1920 x 1080, which worked! Thus, what is the max resolution ebsynth can handle rendering?
Because is volatile *MEMORY* This program likely doesn't store any data temporarily, and if it does, probably gets rid of it instantly. Most of the calculations to make this work are handled by the mathematics hub of the PC, the central processing unit, the thing that calculates everything on the fly. So if you're interested, I'd check the CPU load using Task Manager instead of RAM load. Although I haven't used this program, so I could be wrong.
I had this problem - I think i double checked to make sure the name of the keyframe matched the name of the frame from the png sequence and the keyframe has to be saved as png. I dunno if that helped at all?
I just tested it for like 30 mins. One thing it is phenomenal at is to easily remove photobombs from videos. Want to remove objects from a video? Just remove it couple of frames process it with ebsynth and BAM! You have clean video. I know you can do it with AE but it’s cheaper and easier.
So the initial video you claim we must have is just reference for what frame your keyframes should be painted on. We could do without it and simply make the key frames and give them plenty of space for timing that can be tweaked in a video editor. This does seem to be a noticeable step up from the tweening in MXFlash back in the day.
Just got the software and excited to use it! Couldn't you, theoretically, run the program with a few keyframes, then copy the output folder to the video folder and repaint over some of the generated images and run it again to get an even more refined final video?
Why don't you create an algorithm that do automaticatic inbetweening of hand drawn keyframes? That one you created is more like a new kind of art rather than making animation as we know it easier.
Is there a minimum FPS requirement on the source video? Or, alternatively, how similar do neighbouring frames have to be for the software to work optimally?
The entire artist cast of the Loving Vincent movie are pulling their hairs right now.

One question, what would happen if you use the second keyframe? Will you end up with 2 output folders? and if so, how you combine the png's to create the whole video?
This is incredible! Great tutorial, too.
I am having a problem: every time I render a video of my own with ebsynth, the png files keep coming out black, but the sample project works fine. I don't get it.
I FIGURED IT OUT! I was trying to render a video out at 3840 x 2160 resolution, and brought it down to 1920 x 1080, which worked! Thus, what is the max resolution ebsynth can handle rendering?
Just come from 2 minute papers. This is awesome.
here from Joel Haver's videos
The whole operation is run by Tony Lazuto
Well done, so far so good!
Kind of frustrating to use right now, BUT, it is amazing and I hope it grows.
Wonderful intro - well done, I could even understand it as a near total video clueless beginner. Funny, too.
How does it barely take up any RAM? I'm absolutely amazed that my very old laptop can still render everything incredibly quickly.
Because is volatile *MEMORY*
This program likely doesn't store any data temporarily, and if it does, probably gets rid of it instantly.
Most of the calculations to make this work are handled by the mathematics hub of the PC, the central processing unit, the thing that calculates everything on the fly.
So if you're interested, I'd check the CPU load using Task Manager instead of RAM load. Although I haven't used this program, so I could be wrong.
an error keeps popping up, of missing file" when trying to find the keyframe.. I don't know why if I have it selected
Same here
I had this problem - I think i double checked to make sure the name of the keyframe matched the name of the frame from the png sequence and the keyframe has to be saved as png. I dunno if that helped at all?
Wow. Nice! Thanks for offering this.
IM in Love with this programm!
What about Linux support? It works in Wine though, I just tried its sample project.
wow i love it - can't wait to try it
I just tested it for like 30 mins. One thing it is phenomenal at is to easily remove photobombs from videos. Want to remove objects from a video? Just remove it couple of frames process it with ebsynth and BAM! You have clean video. I know you can do it with AE but it’s cheaper and easier.
Awesome programme, awesome tutorial video. Thank you so much
clear tutorial, thank you. very clear.
That's one powerful baby!
So the initial video you claim we must have is just reference for what frame your keyframes should be painted on. We could do without it and simply make the key frames and give them plenty of space for timing that can be tweaked in a video editor. This does seem to be a noticeable step up from the tweening in MXFlash back in the day.
Im using davinci resolve and movie studio 17 platinum. i cant seem to figure out how to render to png sequences. anyone know if its possible?
Just got the software and excited to use it! Couldn't you, theoretically, run the program with a few keyframes, then copy the output folder to the video folder and repaint over some of the generated images and run it again to get an even more refined final video?
Great tutorial, and funny too! Thanks
Why don't you create an algorithm that do automaticatic inbetweening of hand drawn keyframes? That one you created is more like a new kind of art rather than making animation as we know it easier.
Automatic keyframing is (also) an incredibly hard, unsolved problem
DAIN does that pretty well but i think it doesn't count because this tech is newer than my comment.
you got a new subscriber.. keep up the good work thank you..
Cannot beleive this was 4 years ago.
I feel old
Thanks for your magic!
Is there a minimum FPS requirement on the source video? Or, alternatively, how similar do neighbouring frames have to be for the software to work optimally?
Superb!
Magnifique, même!
Wow ebsynth is really powerful
