quickest way to key a character from background
I just wanted to know if theres a quick and “dirty” way you all can recommend?
I have some broadcast sitcom footage, I want to remove everything except one character who is walking in the room… any thoughts?I have previously used the paint tool over every frame, with mixed results…anything to “learn” and keep the shape which I can then just modify over time?
I’m pretty certain Ive seen this used or heard of it, but the technique escapes me.Thanks much

You’re most likely talking about rotoscoping, a very tedious, time consuming task, but very rewarding when done well. I’ve rotoscoped just a few very short clips and I don’t really like doing it. Do a search of the forums for “rotoscope” and you should get a huge list of posts on different techniques and suggestions. It’s a very broad topic and is rather well covered. Good luck!
Michael.
