Now Apple Final Cut Pro users can animate live-action video with NewBlue Cartoonr, the fast, easy and free way to give scenes a cartoon look from NewBlueFX. Inspired by those stylized television ads for a major brokerage firm, NewBlue chief technology officer Todor Fay led his team in designing a lightweight, flexible free video effects plugin that instantly applies a hand-drawn, cartoon-like effect to live video. Explains Fay, with NewBlue Cartoonr, users can combine intriguing artistic effects with the power of live action.

Although valued at $250, NewBlue is offering NewBlue Cartoonr free of charge to Apple Final Cut Pro, as well as those of all other leading desktop video editing platforms. Designed as a flexible special effects plugin, NewBlue Cartoonr integrates directly into video editors for a seamless working experience. Part of the NewBlueFX line of audio and video effects plugins, NewBlue Cartoonr offers a rich palette of preset cartoon styles and provides powerful control over drawing and painting techniques. Its elegant user-interface, a NewBlueFX trademark, allows fine tuning of both drawing and painting techniques, resulting in a rotoscoping effect. In addition, NewBlue Cartoonr features controls for blending in the original image to create artistic effects with ease.
