Ballpoint does one thing and does it with charm. This GPU plugin, sold through aescripts, redraws your video as if a patient hand had sketched it with a ballpoint pen on an old sheet of paper. Faces, buildings and landscapes all come out as fine pen strokes, with the paper texture behind the lines. It suits music videos, explainers and any edit that needs a hand drawn pause.

FAQs

Does Ballpoint work on still images too?

Yes. You can apply it to a still frame or a photo layer and it will draw the same pen style look, which suits posters and title cards.

Is the paper background optional in practice?

The aged paper look is part of its signature style. Controls let you shape the result, but the charm of the plugin is that paper and ink feel.
