EBSynth is an incredibly powerful (and free) tool created by Secret Weapons that all editors need to know about. It essentially gives you the ability to edit 1 frame of a video and then ebsynth does the rest of the work by trying to apply that edit across the whole video! It's really impressive. In this video I go over some of the stuff you can do with ebsynth like de-aging someone, replacing background objects, and changing face expressions! I also go over some of the ebsynth advanced settings ( the mapping, deflicker, and diversity ) and explain what they do the best I can.
As the paper goes on to explain, contrary to what other tutorial makers say, ebsynth is not an AI video editor or anything like that, simply put ebsynth works by analyzing each frame and creating guides based on the data it can see, then using those guides as reference it tries to figure out how the pixels are moving from one frame to another. As much as I'd love to title the video something like EBSynth AI Animates your Videos for You! .... I'd be lying haha. I mean, I'm already stretching the truth a little but with this title because its going to be rare that you'll just be using the ebsynth output straight up as the final product so \"let ebsynth do the rest\" isn't strictly honest... as I go over in the video, ebsynth will mostly get you 80% of the way there really quickly and then it's our job to do that last 20% and get it across the finish line by compositing it in After Effects
