Greg! My savior!
I am quite ecstatic to inform you that after not giving up on your initial explanations I continued to attempt explaining to the Rotobrush exactly what I wanted from it.
What ended up working the best was simply this… I adjusted the size of the brush to that of a pixel. I would zoom in and literally draw on the pixels that I didn’t want to include in the matte and suddenly (sometimes after a single stroke, sometimes after multiple strokes) it started to see exactly where I was telling it not to go.
I just want to thank you for improving my work flow and giving me a new technique that I will surely use for years to come!
Best,

I guess what isn’t working for me is the back and forth between foreground and background strokes. I have started from scratch a few times and tried different combinations of large and small brushes and variations in the distance between foreground and background strokes, but literally nothing is changing at all. I have tried to be very precise, but once it gets to a certain point the matte doesn’t change at all, no matter how many other strokes I may continue to lay down.
And it’s literally the same thing you are talking about. Hands with motion blur. It’s masking them so her fingers disappear almost completely. She looks like she has tiny little deformed hands and I can’t seem to coax the rotobrush to expand the matte even in the slightest bit.
Any other advice?

Thanks, Greg! Do you find the brush size makes a big difference as well?
-
Yes he is!

All the settings have been checked and are exactly identical. I was hoping to find out if it was an issue between OS versions. That’s the only thing we can think of. We’re both using CS5.5 as well.

Yeah, I checked them on my computer.

Gotta love those typos. You were right, thanks!

I’ve watched a few of those Video Copilot tutorials and I will be making sure to finish them off soon. Thank you Walter!

Thanks for the response. Ted! I appreciate it.
