A simple Python project to apply a sketch (pencil drawing) effect to videos using OpenCV. Inspired by sketch-based video tools like SketchVideo[1].
- Converts input videos to sketch-style output.
- Supports real-time processing via webcam.
- Easy to extend with AI models for advanced generation (e.g., from sketches to animated videos).
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/DarkxLucifer/VideoSketchEffect.git - Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Run the script: python sketch_video.py --input example_video.mp4 --output sketched_video.mp4
For webcam mode: python sketch_video.py --webcam
Input: Regular video
Output: Sketch-effect video (edges detected and inverted for pencil look).
