[Dave LaRonde] “That’s all true, but so is this: once you have the roto work in AE and you have not already settled on a resolution, you’ve got problems. Thus, the more flexible scaling of vectors isn’t too relevant.”
I don’t need scalability, I need tweakability. I can always bake the data later.
“Second, it’s AWFULLY tough to screw up a black & white image.”
You’ve been at this awhile Dave, yes? Anything that can go wrong, will. Even “black and white images” are not immune to Murphy’s Law.
Rather than debate my workflow, I’d prefer to have insight specifically on why masks are problematic / unreliable, or point me to other threads about the vagaries of masks and how to resolve them.

[Dave LaRonde] ” Why don’t you have ’em export image sequences you can use for mattes? Why fool around with masks on a solid?”
Hi Dave,
Vector is more flexible than raster. Also, we’re talking a significant amount of roto. Vector files are small, raster files not so much. Upload/download is faster, especially when contractors are doing 2-3 revisions for each shot.

That fixed it, thanks!

Ok, I will update and purge and report back with results. Thanks very much.

Thanks, I’ll explore further…

Hey Pierre. Ok, that’s working, thanks. Some artifacts tho, ok to change Twixtor’s defaults with this approach, eg Forward instead of Inverse? Looks like I’ll still need to break it apart to get the best results.

“One trick is to make a precomp of original footage and apply Twixtor 100% default
Then in the main comp time-remap the layer you precomped (the usual time remap, no motion estimation”Hi Pierre.
I’m confused. Do you mean select the precomp layer, right click and then Time/Enable Time Remapping?
The check box is disabled for frame blending on the precomp.
