Applying a cartoon effect to a photograph is easy, but when it comes to adding a cartoon effect to a video, things get more complicated. The most popular video editors are commercial and require advanced knowledge, and many of them don't have a "Cartoon" effect. That's why we turned to VideoPad from NHC, which is known for creating simple environments with uncommon features. VideoPad is a free video editor with a built-in cartoon effect that you can apply to your clips in just a few seconds. Of course, with this editor you can also perform all the basic tasks of a powerful video editor.
How to Apply the Cartoon Effect
To add the cartoon effect to your videos, first you'll need to import the file using the "Open" option. At this point, you'll see the video in the left panel. You'll need to drag and drop the video onto the timeline panel.
To apply the cartoon effect to the video, go to the top menu and select "Video Effects" and then choose the "Cartoon" effect. A pop-up window will open where you can customize the effect. You can adjust the color levels, borders, and drawing details.
After converting the video into a cartoon clip, you'll need to click the "Export" button to save it to your computer.
As you can see, converting a conventional video into a cartoon video with VideoPad is a very simple task that only takes a few steps. In our tests, everything worked perfectly, and the render was fast and high quality. VideoPad is a free program available for Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS and Android devices.
