yah, I thought so.
I’m trying the paint…
What is the best way to do rotoscope, no matter how long it takes?

If you do find a way, let me know so I can make MILLIONS!…..MILLIONS!

Well, there are methods to make it simpler such as rotoing in groups, tracking all the shapes to the object itself so you are only rotoing relative changes, tracking individual points, using the split keyframe method.
But I wouldn’t go so far as saying it was ever “easy”.

It all depends on the roto job. If you can use the clone tool (some easily handled this way0, these might help:

Or do an advanced search for ROTO.

It’s obvious yikesmikes has a looming deadline (a contest, not for a real employeer) and for some reasons feels compelled to help others even if he only partionally knows an answer, yikes.

You guys are too funny. Do these work if you want to roto a person as if the background was keyed?

hey, Kev
I would look up roto in the archives. Way too much to discuss here. But most roto is done with splines (masks in AE). Also, roto is often used in conjunction with mattes.
For example if you are trying to remove a Giraffe from the BG of wild life video. You may roto main parts like his torso and neck and the non-fuzzy parts of his head. But then on a separate layer, look at the individual color channels and find that one of them has a good contrast between the fuzz on his head to the sky. Use this and crush the levels (with levels) and apply it as a luma matte. So you used roto to do the main parts, and matting to do the fuzz which is about impossible to roto.
