And that includes masking cartoon characters in all that stuff❓

@pascaldepree3008 5 лет назад

This one step saved me around 20 minutes for each mask I do. Thank you so much for this!

@antonnikolla1260 7 лет назад

Good one, but you could also set the mask layer from "add" to "none" and you will see the main footage and get no black. Also, you can duplicate your main layer and add the mask. In this case, you don't need to do that TrkMat thing.

@CodyPyper 5 лет назад

True, but the adjustment layer does come in handy if you are copying and pasting masks onto different size footage. So many times I've masked out a 4k clip and then tried to apply that mask to a 1080 clip, vfx shot, etc and it doesnt work correctly

@mpjstuff 3 года назад

True, but it's likely less processor intensive to do one adjustment layer as a mask (composited down), then 6 video layers with a mask. Both achieve the same result -- I'm just guessing it's going to make a big difference in rendering time -- AND if you apply an effect to the video itself, those separate layers are not going to function as a whole, and you'd get some kind of artifact showing the edge of the mask where the video overlaps.

@cliffalexander2890 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for pointing out using adjustment layers, for anyone who does not know, if you have everything in one mask and you mess up, it is a few hours of cleaning up you have to do. Thank you again for this technique. Almost feel stupid with the answer being right under the nose the whole time.

@ScottyBMakin Месяц назад

I never thought of using adjustment layers to correct masks! There's also the option I've always used of using a subtraction mask over poured edges, but not sure which method would be faster.

@slackdave 5 лет назад

A key technique when rotoscoping is to move the vertices in groups. Not one by one. That way you maintain the shape and reduce the risk of chattering edges. Also create ...keyframes. If you're tracing a ball that flies up and down. Trace first the lowest position, the highest and then the final low position. Then adjust the in-betweens, correcting the positions where after effects goes wrong.

Someone please help Im trying to apply a mask to the Adjustment layer but it doesnt want to apply to the adjusttment layer it Keeps applying to the actual video whenever I click on the screen of the video to apply the mask it switches down to the video ! HELp

@WoodysAR 5 лет назад

@@SaltedMallows Maybe you are confusing the Video's window, with the Composite (project) window, It can happen easily because the video's window opens OVER the Composite window, if you happen to double click (ie click twice ;) on the name,.. Then you don't see it pop up and think you are in the Composition window! :O

@mariotte 4 года назад

I briefly saw this concept mentioned in another video and this is exactly what I was looking for! No just another "just rotoscope" when in many cases it is just same amount of work and worst results.

@KrunoslavStifter 5 лет назад

You should look into Mocha rotoscoping. Saves time because you don't have to adjust for every key frame, Mocha interpolates well and you have more advance tools available that allows you to track more difficult shots, even with motion blur and occlusions. Once you are done the selections and track data can be used in AF as masks. I think Mocha is included in AF btw. Pro version offers more tools for removing objects etc. But for rotoscoping work you can use mocha that ships with AF.

@Jacobooze 4 года назад

Thank you very much for the tip, I know this was in 2017, but the mask mode can be set to none instead of applying it to an adjustment layer, the less layers in a compostion, the better haha.

@ssojyeti2 6 лет назад

@_Gabyo_ 7 лет назад

One thing I would really like to be able to do is to parent adjustment layers to tracking points. It would be really useful when the camera is moving but the subject not so much, and more precise when working with masks or effects such as mesh warp. I don't know if there's an expression for that but I couldn't find answers online.

@ErCapoAlex 5 лет назад

@WoodysAR 5 лет назад

I have a trick for YOU!! Hit ALT when you add or edit a mask point and out come two little handles, that allow you to make a big CURVE with just ONE 'node'! (You can clear the area of other vertices near it!) Use this, any place there is a curve, and you can use one or 1-2 instead of 5-8 for a smooth curve and total fast control!!! Where you are placing 14-20 nodes (vertices) I place 5-9! Having 5 vertices to change over time (and the smooth curves taking care of themselves!!! ) makes it all go a LOT faster :) This trick will save you time, (and yes, breaking it up into moving parts is brilliant! Good idea!) Our two tips together make JURASSIC PARK!! BTW The end video is REALLY Cool!!

@ColbyFulton 6 лет назад

rotobrush takes a long time to render and almost always glitches out. Better to do this segmented masking and try some mask tracking to help out.

@elbitxo5945 5 лет назад

32GB at 3000Mhz with great CPU and SSD drive, and it still renders really slow. Rotobrush works fine only for well planned footage or amateurish work. For professional results using Mocha is better in most cases, tho.

@HalfBaked 7 лет назад

Great tutorial man, one question though: why would you choose this instead of the rotobrush?

@WeegieMovies 7 лет назад

In general, there are always multiple ways to do the same thing. However the rotobrush tool wouldn't give you anywhere near as much flexibility, and let's face it, in AE it rarely gets it completely accurate. Using this technique, you have more control over each element.
