Review by Steve Douglas
I have been a fan of the Digital Anarchy plugins for Final Cut Pro and After Effects ever since I discovered their Psunami plugin several years ago. I always appreciated the quality and flexibility of any of their software sets. ToonIt is compatible for Mac OSX or higher or Windows, and is compatible with AE 5.5 or higher or FCP 5.1.4 and Motion 2.1.2 or higher. ToonIt is both Universal and FxPlug compatible as well as compatible for Apple's new Leopard OS.
You have surely seen the many commercials on television and in film where the actors have been transformed to cartoon versions of themselves. It is not a hard process to create but it can be time consuming, and time is money. Digital Anarchy has recently introduced their latest plugin package, ToonIt, which simplifies the task enabling you to create and customize your own cartoon looks from your original footage. Plus, it does it better.
ToonIt is comprised of four individual plug-ins, Roto Toon, Outlines Only, Goth and Blacklight Edges. The Outlines Only filter disregards all color in your footage and reduces the edges in each frame to a basic black or colored edge onto a white background.
While I've seen and used outlines filters before, this one from the ToonIt collection, seems to be the most effective.

The Goth Filter condenses your image to 3 colors, dark, midtone and light. There are actually 2 Goth presets, which you can then further customize with the many parameter controls so that you determine just how much, or how little, your image is altered.
There are two separate presets within the Goth Filter which flattens out the entire image into 3 basic colors.

For those old enough to remember Woodstock and the old blacklight hippie days, the Blacklight Edges filter should bring back some fine memories. It is similar to the Outlines Only filter except that it maps a color gradient to the edge detection algorithm enabling your image to almost literally pop out of the picture. As the name of the filter implies, it is as if you were seeing the edges under a blacklight.

The filter you will most often use, and the main reason for buying Digital Anarchy's ToonIt set of plug-ins is the Roto Toon filter. It is an excellent filter capable of a wide range of cartoon looks. The Roto Toon effect works by flattening the colors at the same time as it supplies the editor with numerous controls over the amount of edge detail, outlines and color tones. The Roto Toon filter's rotoscoping and edge detection capabilities composite together to create complete cartoon effects within a diversity of ranges.
I was able to keep in much of the background detail while using the Roto Toon filter on this video frame.
I wanted to keep the focus on the helicopter and found it easy to flatten the colors a bit more and add blur to the background.
Working in Adobe After Effects CS 3, I found ToonIt fairly intuitive to use, and easy to adjust blurring, half tones and edge detail.
Installation of ToonIt was simple. For After Effects you select AE's plugins folder and the install is almost immediate. For Final Cut Pro and Motion, you select the hard drive and it installs itself into your FX plug-ins folder. I had no problems with either installation. In After Effects, working on a 3GHz Dual-Core Mac Pro, 5.5 gigs ram, ToonIt worked great. Adjustments made to parameters resulted in almost instant results when using video clips. When applied to still images, there was a bit of a delay. Like Digital Anarchy's Psunami, while they say it is for both After Effects and Final Cut Pro, it is truly best to limit your use to After Effects. I found that ToonIt in Final Cut Pro too often brought up the spinning beach ball, which can really cut into your time. Once it disappeared, any adjustments to any of the filter's parameters just brought it up again. It never caused a crash; you just have to wait for the beachball to go away. This never occurred in After Effects. This is not really a fault of Digital Anarchy's, rather it is due to the way Apple handles Fx Plug-ins and the way Final Cut Pro handles the canvas video display. While, for the purpose of this review, I did not actually render out any of the filter applications, you can expect a longer than usual render time. According to the folks at Digital Anarchy, you can speed up the renders in Final Cut Pro by applying a deinterlace filter prior to applying any of the ToonIt filters. This avoids FCP from having to render each interlaced frame twice over for each frame and should cut your render times in half. Never the less, when I use ToonIt, I will choose to use it in After Effects where any changes to my images were smoothly created.
Thus, my bottom line for ToonIt is that, when used in After Effects, it is a real time saver for anyone who wishes to recreate much of the cartoon like effects that seem so ubiquitous as of late. ToonIt was very stable, and came with an easy to understand downloadable manual. Applause should also go to the folk at Digital Anarchy who, over the years, have kept downloadable video tutorials on their website which can go a long way towards clarifying things for someone just getting acquainted with any of their plugin packages. As are all of the Digital Anarchy plugin sets, I urge you to try a free demo of ToonIt available for download on their website. The demo will be watermarked but I think you will be impressed with their quality, which makes them certainly worth your hard earned cash. While I might not have a great need for each of the plugins, the real gem of this package is the Roto Toon filter for which I will be able to find a multitude of uses.

Cartooning features of ToonIt! Photo
ToonIt! Photo is a cartoon effects plugin that gives you the ability to turn still images and photographs into unique cartoon creations. ToonIt! gives you precise control over styles, shading and outlines. ToonIt! Photo will get your creative juices flowing �cause everyone looks better as a cartoon! Here are some great features of this Adobe Photoshop and Aperture cartoon plugin.
Preserve details in faces & figures
ToonIt! Photo is amazing at transforming the details of the human face and form into a believable cartoon. People are typically difficult to �toon’ because we know what facial features and expressions should look like. This imagery is where most cartoon filters fall apart. But ToonIt! makes every person look amazing by drawing pleasing large features in the face and body while keeping smaller important details in the eyes and mouth.
Presets for Easy Cartoon Effects
ToonIt! sets down a flat cel-shaded look with black outlines. Use the plugin's Preset Manager to customize the cartoon effect with pre-made groups of Effects and Style settings. We’ve shipped a whole bunch of ToonIt! presets to get your cartooning quickly started, and of course you can save your own presets. You can easily create a number of sophisticated looks including Flat Cartoon, Graphic Novel, Comic and Pen & Ink.
No hand masking or rotoscoping
Each cartoon effect is generated automatically. There are customizable controls in the plugin, but no manual work is needed to achieve results. ToonIt! Photo creates its cartoon effect by combining natural line strokes with shaded colors. The cartooning software keeps the feeling of your subject's expression even though the face has been reduced to a few colors and lines.
Cartoon a photo series or graphic novel
A series of what? Well, anything. Take multiple images of your family member and create a portrait series. Put different action moves together and make a photo album of your child for your mom. Offer a comic book or graphic novel as a specialty treatment for a client... or just make a cartoon for your mom.
