EbSynth

You give EbSynth a video clip and a few keyframes you have painted or drawn over selected frames, and it carries that look across the rest of the footage.

The result is a restyled clip that follows the motion of the original.

EbSynth is a free video-to-video style transfer tool for animators, and it is aimed squarely at hand-drawn work that would otherwise take a long time to animate frame by frame.

Instead of drawing every frame, you style only a handful and let EbSynth fill in the gaps.

That makes it a practical way to turn live footage into painted or illustrated animation without a large team or a big budget.

A beta version has been released, and it is described as faster, stronger and easier to work with than before.

Because the app costs nothing, trying it on a short test clip is a low-risk way to see whether the look suits your project.
