Yeah, temporal consistency would be a plus, if the "AI" algorithm can look forward and backward at least one frame and provide some sort of smoothing of render. But even without that sort of temporal smoothing, the effects can be interesting and useful in video.
Use Cases:
1. Children's Content
The current project I want to use this on is a short film that my young daughters want to make. Our idea was to film them acting on green screen, and composite over illustrated matte painting or 3D cartoonish backgrounds... but I was hoping to be able to render their acting in a sort of cartoon cell shaded animation style. The filters available in Prisma (or Artista) would be perfect.
2. Traditional Film/TV Projects
This type of stylized filter effect can be used for dream sequences, flashbacks, visions, or other shots that serve the story. They can vary from subtle, to very stylized, and work for any mood from lighthearted to very dark content. This type of filter would allow for creating content like Richard Linklater's Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly, or Amazon's Undone series. It's not something that everyone would use, but it would be a valuable tool in the bag for film/tv producers/editors.
3. Music Videos
These type of stylized effects are excellent for music videos, where often the artist wants some more abstract content. I think having this type of advanced/ai filtering available in Resolve would be very valuable for music video creation.
4. YouTube Creator Content
These type of stylized filters would probably be very useful for YouTube content creators too... with popups/overlays/b-roll during voice narration.
After looking into it further over the past few days, it definitely looks like an opportunity to explore... I'm surprised that Resolve/Fusion/Premiere/AfterEffects haven't already offered these type of advanced filters.. the tech has been around for a few years with photos on phones, and it seems like a prime opportunity for development into NLEs with similar easy interface, with maybe a few sliders. I don't really know what the "AI" incorporates, but I'm sure with modern i9/rtx3080 systems like many of us have, the processing should certainly be no problem, at least with timeline rendering.
Artista does actually offer video option via their iOs app, but its limited to very short clips, and the output is a 512x512 square. I just want an option for HD/4K processing of the same quality and variety like Prisma and Artista offer. Would be awesome to see this added to Resolve... Or even if a 3rd party creator made an open-fx plugin set, I'd be happy to pay for it.
