QuickAdvice: Take Fun Cartoon Videos With Cartoonatic
Cartoonatic (Free) by MacPhun LLC In the same vein as the popular apps that cartoonize your photos, Cartoonatic lets you take video with lots of really cool cartoon effects for free. With an in-app upgrade, you can take cartoon photos as well.
Open Cartoonatic and tap the film icon on the bottom right. This is the settings icon. Here you can turn the flash on and off and flip the camera to front or rear-facing. Tap the microphone to choose your soundtrack: iPod Music, From Video, Mute, or choose from the five different tracks provided. Tap the man icon to speed up your movie if you like. Choose between 320x400 or 360x480 resolution.
Tap the screen any time to change the effect. You can even change the effect while you film, which is really fun. I did this in the short video I linked at the bottom of the article. I actually cycled through all nine effects with my little dog, busily gnawing his toy. There are nine different appealing cartoon effects. They cover a wide range of looks, so there is something for everyone.
Tap the film icon at the bottom again to access your gallery. Play your video, delete it, or share it via YouTube, Facebook, e-mail, Twitter, or save it to your Camera Roll.
The star icon on the bottom left is the upgrade button. The free version allows you to take video only and it is ad-supported. If you upgrade in-app, then you can remove the ads, take still photos, and get three more effects.
The only downside is that you can’t add effects to videos already in your photo library. This is strictly a live-effect app. Still, if you enjoy this sort of app for your iPhone or camera-equipped iPod touch, I definitely recommend downloading Cartoonatic! It’s a lot of fun and it's free, so you have nothing to lose.
