LogInThis is a fully redesigned, browser-based version of the VFX software that lets you modify your video by editing just one frame without using generative AI.
In case you missed it, EbSynth from Secret Weapons, whose Co-Founder Šárka Sochorová we interviewed a few years ago, is a VFX tool that transfers the style of a manually edited reference frame to the rest of a video, making it useful for many common production tasks. From the start, it wasn't based on generative AI, and today, that's exactly what makes it interesting.
The core technology allows users to transform videos by editing a single still frame, with EbSynth automatically applying those changes to the rest of the frames. You can turn your performance into hand-drawn animation, just paint the keyframes, or speed up video touch-ups, digital makeup, and colorizing. According to the developers, the propagation of keyframes throughout the timeline is a "texture-synthesis algorithm that only uses your video and keyframes to produce the final result, it doesn't use generative models trained on external datasets". However, there's an optional AI feature that lets you generate your keyframes.
A major update in EbSynth 2 is that it's now browser-based, with Chrome recommended for the best experience, especially for large projects involving long or high-resolution videos. The interface has been redesigned, with timeline navigation, brushes, and layer support, and performance has reportedly improved significantly. According to Secret Weapons, your video and keyframes are temporarily uploaded to their servers to render the animation, then immediately deleted once the results are sent back, with no data used beyond that.
