Rotoscoping
Hey,
I’ve been trying to figure this one out but really need any help you can offer.
I want to cut out an actor who is walking on a road from his background for about a second.So basically I want to know how to cut him out frame by frame (I do have Photoshop CS2) and then put him back on the exact same spot in the footage so that there would be two layers (one of him and the background, and the other of just him) but from the front view it

Your options are to either mask out the actor in after effects and animate the mask….OR export the sequence as a TGA or other still based format sequence. You can then bring that into Photoshop, cut him out, and the import the new sequence. To achieve the seperation, set both layers (cutout and original as 3d layers), then set the cutout position to a negative Z position.
Now scale the layer back down to original size. If you animate a camera, you will see the z-space seperation….decrease the negative number and you will get more seperation (-100 will give more seperation than -50)Mark
