  Auto masking an animated object – how to

  Posted by Hds2005 on July 26, 2005 at 7:17 pm

  Is there a software for windows or any solution in After Effects where I can
  extract (isolate) a moving object (man walking or a bird flying..) from a video-film, so I can put that extracted-masked moving object into any other video ? (Found one program “AutoMasker” but it is very old and it’s quality not very good)

  Any solution ? I know that it exist…

  Welcome to the world of keying and/or roto-scoping.
  If you have the object on a very even-coloured background, you can key it out or use the auto-trace function.

  If not, you might have to use the paint effects to paint the alpha for each single frame.

  do a search for rotoscoping or look up the different key-effects in the manual.
