Creating an impressionist effect

Blend Over Original

Use this to blend the brush strokes with your

original image. This is useful when you are using smaller brush strokes and
want to reduce any semi-transparent areas around the brush strokes.

Texture Map Method

Use the menu on the right to choose how your

brush stroke colors will be processed.

$

Preprocess

The brush stroke colors are based on the underlying pixels

of the original image. When you move the brush strokes, they retain their
original color.

$

Postprocess

The brush stroke colors change with the underlying colors

of the clip. For example, if your brush strokes are mostly blue and then they
are moved to an area of the clip that contains red, they will turn red.

• Random Seed

Adjust this setting to change the placement of brush

strokes in your clip. The brush strokes are randomly affected based on the
value you select. For example, if you notice the brush strokes in your clip are
always in the same place, you can use this setting to move them.

Crop

Allows you to crop the edges of your clip. For more information, see

“Cropping your clip”
