It's www.synthetik.com. Be prepared to download some serious stuff. Be
prepared to have your mind blown. And, if you decide to purchase, be
prepared for a learning curve requiring aerobic preparation. But it does do
what it calls rotoscoping, not a precise use of the term. In Studio
Artist-ese, that means you can create an artistic effect on a single frame,
to get the look you want, and then have SA apply that effect or series of
effects to each frame, using AI routines. Some examples are on the site.
But beware! I bought it and then "had to" upgrade to a faster laptop (yeah,
any excuse will do...)
