Rotoscoping Motion Blur
I am attempting to rotoscope an actor in a shot and having a bit of difficulty. Within the shot the actor moves frantically, creating a lot of motion blur. What is the best way to rotoscope the actor and maintain the motion blur? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Create a new solid above your footage and apply the Vector Paint effect. Instead of creating a mask outline, you’ll be painting the fill. There are controls on this effect that allow you to drop the opacity.
I’d recommend hitting the computer store for a cheap tablet before starting this.

Hi you could turn on motion blur for the layer where your mask is and play around with the parameters in the advanced composition settings. If the movement is very vertical or very horizontal you can also maybe get away with unlocking the feather and blurring just the x or y. If neither of these are satisfactory there is a plugin for AE called silhouette which allows you to pull apart points on a mask individually in order to feather them on a point by point basis. If you get close, precompose and paint with black and white while viewing your matte and comp simultaneously in 2 separate windows.
Good Luck
Pete
