rotoscoping flikering.
hi people, i have a series of images, about 70, imported from photoshop as a sequence, i cleaned the backgrounds in photoshop, i knew it wasn’t going to be perfect but i find vector paint quite painful to do the job. the point is that the backgrounds are not perfect and it flikers a bit, it’s only about 1 or 2 pixels, can anyone tell me how to remove that please.
thank you very much.

Personally I use masks since you let AE interpolate the shapes so there is no flickering. Using Paint to me is like taking on the limitations of the Hand Rotorers of Yore, flickering and all. Not to mention time consuming to actually do every frame.
My only suggestion is to undo the area that is flickering and do that part using masks. Of course use standard roto technique of setting a key at the begining and end of the clips, then go to the middle of the clip and adjust the mask, set key, split those keyframes, adjust mask, set key, etc… till it tracks with the object enough.

thanks chris i wil give a try, the only thing is that i don’t find the pen tool in after effects very accurate as the one in photoshop, may be is just cos it animates.
thanks for your advice.

If you have the rotobezier option unchecked, it should be identical to PS as it uses bezier curves. I personally prefer rotoing with rotobezier on since it uses B-Splines instead of bezier.

You can enable and disable rotobezier by right-clicking the mask.
As far as accuracy, you can go full screen and zoom in to what you are working on. Don’t forget that the space-bar (Hand) and Z (zoom) keys can be held down temporarily while you are creating a mask.
