A full walkthrough of Sketch on real footage, in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
What Sketch does
Sketch redraws your footage as a hand-drawn pencil and pen illustration, tracing the contours into ink lines and filling the shadows with cross-hatching. It runs entirely on the GPU as a real After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve effect, so you get a live, render-accurate preview while you work.
Set your ink and paper colors and blend in as much of the original footage as you like, from a pure line drawing to a tinted, colored sketch. Every control is keyframable, so you can draw the lines on, build up the shading, or shift the palette across a shot.
