  Using Paint to Rotoscope, After Effects

  Posted by First Last on March 19, 2009 at 10:56 pm

  I’m trying to use paint to rotoscope an object out of a project frame by frame, but I do not want a new sub-layer every time I make a new paint stroke/path. It eventually adds up to hundreds of sub-layers.

  Does anyone know how I can just go in frame by frame and use a paint brush like I would in Photoshop, without using vector paint?

  Thanks.

  If you want true bimap painting, then use Photoshop, it has movie support now.
  Vector Paint is the way to go in After Effects

  Nope, I can’t think of any examples, but I’d still like to know how to stop after effects from making a new effects layer every time I make a new paint stroke.

  Any ideas?

  Vector paint is fine in terms of it not making multiple effect layers for each brush stroke, but when you’re painting with the vector brush it isn’t accurately showing you what you’re painting while your painting.
