Regular mask vs. RotoBezier
Just found today the RotoBezier feature of AE (hurray Shake lovers)
and wanted to make sure, is there any difference between the two methods ?
I find it much easier than pulling those bezigon handles, but am still new to this method.and now 2 cheap puns:
Let bezigons be zigons.“Is it too much mask ?” (the roto anthem by Bad Religion)

I mostly use the B splines (“Rotobezier”) rather than the bezier especially for “organic” shapes. I use the bezier when doing hard edge shapes. I find that B splines are easier to animate because for they react the way I expect them to and are more simple creatures to deal with.
But that’s just me (probably mostly because I’m not to good with bezier).

I agree; in most cases rotobezier masks are easier to animate. With regular bezier points, in practice you are sometimes having to move 3 points (each point on the mask along with its two control handles) for every one point that you’d have to move with rotobezier. THis can really add up on a complex mask. If you’re not having to make geometric masks, rotobezier is the way to go for sure.
