Goodbye Rotobrush. Hello, Mask Prompter! 

NEW 2024 Mask Prompter Update video is live here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ie6HaBYZDrQ.html Also, make sure to check out the brand-new www.learnmograph.com!

Here's what I don't get about this plugin and the many others that claim to have AI: 2:13 In the first example, when you select the water, which is easy enough to track in AE's own tracker, what you really want is to tell the plugin (the AI of the plugin): Knock out the 2 sailboats but leave the water in between the masts, because the AI knows what a sailboat looks like from its training on what boats look like and can identify their parts. 6:14 Similarly, with the fish in the aquarium: Real AI should know what a fish looks like (how it swims, changes shape, moves), so when you select that fish, the machine learning understands how to track the fish itself. 8:05 And also, with the surf board: If it has AI built in, then it really ought to recognize a surf board, or at least when you it "that's the thing I'm interested in," so it can track the partial image because it knows what a complete surf board looks like. So, where's the actual AI in this plugin? I get there's an image analysis algorithm in this plugin that can distinguish edges in the Luma or RBG channels that tracks across moving pixels when there's enough contrast, but that alone isn't AI. I think this is definitely a good tool that can save some work because AE's roto brush is also a lot of work, but roto is all about the details (such as keeping all the fine fur that sticks out from the cow's torso in the mask instead of the hard edge Mask Prompter created). RunwayML's Green Screen module has just as many issues and lots of gotchas that have to be worked around also, so you're not alone in that regard! As someone who's suffered greatly from having to roto unkeyed objects and characters, I'm really sensitive to the nuances of what it takes to do decent roto...it's hard.

It's good, not for every project but good for some quick things!

Love mask prompter.... works very very well

that a game changer , thank you for those tuts

This current crop of auto-masking tools, be it the internal roto-brush, Runway ML, SD segmentation or now this Mask Prompter all have one thing in common: They are just skimming the surface of "roto" and can't be controlled enough to do difficult high-end work. It's great for clicks on YT, great for fast and dirty stuff but not really production level. Using it like here as a power window color correction mask surely won't be the main use. Everybody and their mother use DaVinci now for about everything and the tracking/masking/secondary CC tools are on a whole different level. What we totally need in (P)roto are tools to quickly get to extremenly editable (!) masks of organic shapes - moving people, cloth, animals, foliage. Every shown here can be done way faster with common methods.

good job nice tutorial, just a tip about background music don't increase the volume every time between speaking otherwise nice job

All these tutorial done with perfect footage are a sort of a misleading because when we go out to shoot in real life, footage is out of focus, the camera is shaky, the edges are blurred (the infamous camera blur), the balance is most of the time wrong, and I can go on forever. So I wonder why you guys never try these plugins with what real filmmaker or editors, in my case, are facing every day…..that will be the only way to know if your plugin works. In my experience, so far, AI keeps failing with real footage. Because even shooting with a red in 8K and on a jib, steadycam or dolly, it will always have issues, that’s why we need to use masks. But please show us your mask script with handheld footage or something more realistic…..thanks!

Interesting uses of Blace Plugins’ Mask Prompter. This has the potential to become an essential tool for simplified rotoscope. What the presenter did not mention is that depending on the scale of your footage (and computer), caching frames and rendering can be very slow.

It freeze my laptop every time I try render project with mask prompter used with AE

I use Rtx 4080 i9 processor still when i use this plugin it freezes my after effects , and gpu works on full capacity 100%

I have a windows laptop without an Nvidia card, how do I get that version? I installed what I downloaded it but it doesn't work, thanks

Hi there, is there a decent way to finish off the rough edges after a selection has been made? I'm having trouble with grass

Thanks a lot for all your videos are videos!!!!! How do you find it working on low brightness and similar color edges? 🎉

nice video thanks! 👍

It gives the .exe file, do I have to install it or directly paste into my plugin folder?

People are able to make ai rotobrush masking tool but still has to adjust mask by hand. The future is now

i'll be honest, you didnt do well selling it to me on the first shot

Did not know about that quick menu plugin, is it better than fx console from video copilot?

Nice video! May we share this on our product page?

Do you think it gives better results than magic mask?

as what they said, an AI base, does it need internet connection to properly working ?

After download it what next i don’t know how install it

I wanted to see how it handled the hair...

in after effect 2020 not working

Could it masking hair?

for mac?

gpu o cpu version?

This plugin is free or not?

How do we get it for free?

Sorry but this plugins is not Rotobrush killer, but absolutely not ! This plugins is a toys for speed working, just for easy shape. The result don't be professional !

My computer is literally crying. It's a very boring plugin.
