What is Rotoscope?

• Rotoscoping has long been an important part of
  the filmmaking process.
• Rotoscoping is the process of cutting things out
  of frame.
• While the process initially started as a
  hand-drawn technique, it has evolved with
  technology to the point where it can now be done
  in after effects.
• Let's take a look at some different ways to
  rotoscope in After Effects.

Rotoscoping with Mask Paths

• Another way to rotoscope using Adobe After
  Effects is to manipulate a mask frame by frame.
• While this process isnt ideal, it often yields
  results far better than that of the Roto Brush.

Rotoscope With Roto Brush

• Roto Brush is one of the easiest and simplest
  tools available to rotoscope artists.
• The Roto brush works similarly to a brush in
  photoshop.
• Drag it over the desired rotoscoping areas and
  adobe after effects software will make its best
  guess to cut out a perfect frame.

• If you have simple objects in the scene, you can

Rotoscoping by Hand
12

• You may not realize it, but masks will mold
  between keyframes in adobe after effects.
• So if you set a mask to move forward and change
  the mask shape, the mask slowly meshes into the
  new shape between keyframes.
• For rotoscoping, it is invaluable as it can
  prevent you from going frame by frame to get a
  perfect rotoscope.
