What is it?

The Monet Effect turns your footage into an animated impressionist painting in Adobe After Effects. Imitate the style of impressionist painter Claude Monet, or choose from a number of other painterly looks. They can all be customized with easy-to-use controls so you can achieve the perfect effect for your footage.

The Monet Effect works equally well for footage or images. It uses authentic paintbrush textures, canvas textures, and a stop-motion effect to create the impression of a new painting on each frame. With nine unique presets and endless customization options, you'll have all the tools you need to create a living impressionist masterpiece.

  • This template is compatible with Adobe After Effects, version CS5 and all later versions. Works on both PCs and Macs. No plugins required.

  • This template has been universalized, so it will work for users running After Effects in other languages, as long as they're using CS6 and up. The template may partially work in foreign languages in CS5, but with some errors.

  • The template includes both HD (1920x1080) and 4K (4096x2160) comps. The effects work great on photos, text, and graphics with transparent backgrounds, but it is not designed for exporting images at a higher resolution than 4096x2160.

  • This template includes 9 presets, or unique painting looks for your footage. Each painting effect has a separate comp that is 10 frames per second, giving them the choppy stop-motion look seen in the demo video. You can change their frame rates in the "Composition Settings" panel, or if you like the look of a reduced frame rate, but need to export at a higher rate like 29.97fps or 25fps, create a new comp with the higher frame rate, and place the Van Gogh Effect comp into that one.

  • Footage and music in demo video not included.

  • This template has been "universalized", so it will work in After Effects running in any language (CS6 and up).

The Monet Effect template is not a plugin, so there is nothing to install. Rather, it's an Adobe After Effects project file, commonly known as a "template" because most of the work is already done and the user needs only to make their own customizations. This template is compatible with version CS5 as well as all later versions of After Effects.
