Thanks! Nice and concise. After watching this I used the new Rotobrush on a woman whose right arm enters the frame from screen left, then the left arm comes in 12 frames later. I isolated the right arm thinking I'd have to do both arms separately, but after 20 seconds of calculations not only had it done a great job on the right arm it found and isolated the left arm AND her body. Pretty impressive and super-fast compared to the older version.
I'm new to both editing and YOU... and I must say, I LLLLLLOVE your work and tutorials!!! I'm so happy to have found you🙌🏻. I know you're going to be my go-to guy. Thank you so much!!!❤
I'll need to rewatch this a couple more times but this gave me a good idea of how it works and might actually get me to start using it. Been avoiding it just trying to learn basics for now but I have been realizing lately I will need to start using this a lot soon for stuff I want to make
I mean this is a very respectful manner. The actor in the video has an incredible set of abs. She works hard at it and it shows. Very motivating for me to get back into my work out routine.
Mastering the Roto Brush 3.0 in After Effects has never been easier, thanks to your tutorial! We at Ceros appreciate the way you demystify complex tools and make them accessible for everyone. Keep sharing these valuable resources, they're truly empowering for the creative community!
I 2nd that. Your ad spots are always very nicely done. Didn't realize you made them inhouse. Who needs and agency and/or production company when you have the skills inhouse?
F'ing AWESOME VIDEO! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You know your sh!t, teach it really well and concise with great zoom ins to interface details AND you get to the point fast AND nail it in 7 minutes! Liked, Commented, Subscribed! Wish I could do more but that's all I've got right now! 🤟
As someone who is has been using rotobrush since v1, I can say that v3 is incredibly faster and accurate as far as human subjects are concerned, but it is still borderline unusable unless you have a top of the line PC. The refine brush tool adds processing time multiple over what the regular brush would have taken. Making a correction in the middle of a track destroys the entire track ahead of it. Thats a major time waster. We are still a long way away from a one stop AI driven roto solution. (quick tip - instead of using the refine edge brush, use only the regular brush, freeze the roto and drop in a refine soft matte effect. Saves loads of time.)
DUDE... DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEE!!! What a Freaking F?! No talkie talkie about ur life, straight to the point!! Im total noob at adobe and even I got it! + THESE BONUS TRICKS AT THE END??? Guys, u are GOLD!
Great video! I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for. If you don't freeze the roto, does the beginning of the clip lose its roto affect you put on it? That seems to happen to me quite often and I don't understand why. I'll get thru 75% of my clip with the roto brush and then the beginning starts to lose the progress I've done on it. Should I freeze half way thru and then continue on? Then freeze again? Appreciate your help!
Cool stuff man, but how can you save the moving image by itself with a transparent background? I have supposedly saved it but when I import it into my Premier Pro project it still has a black background. If you can advise me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Thank you! I feel like I'm missing a step. Once I've rotobrush the first frame, I press play, the brush/mask doesn't follow on the subsequent frames. What am I missing here?
Hi Ray, sorry to hear about the frustration. It could be simply that it's working too hard that it's taking a really long time for every frame 😔 The other issue is that sometimes when there's a mismatch between the framerate of your clip and the framerate of your composition it can have some problems. Is your computer really really slow in general? If so it might just be that Rotobrush could be pushing it too hard. Hopefully something in there is able to help. So glad you liked the tutorial, thank you so much for watching! 😄
Thanks, I have question, for sports video clips that have faster movement, what is the ideal frame rate and how much shutter speed is ideal when using RB 3.0 to help prevent motion blur or ghosting in the movements.
My biggest issue with rotobrush is that its always used in a scene where a single actor is performing. In that context, its much easier for AI to determine how to scope, but real scenes can include two or more actors. This is where it falls apart. I see that lightroom is able to determine different faces in a picture. I wonder if that tech could be integrated into rotobrush so that the AI can tell this guy is different from that guy when rotobrushing
What is happening when I'm in rotobrush mode but when I have my green marker to make a path, there are not lines that pop up to indicate a path has been made? I've used this method before but not working this time. Thanks for any help
There's not quite a one click solution, but you can get around it by duplicating the layer and removing the roto from the bottom. Then you can set the top roto layer to be the matte for another layer with the layer controls on the left. This makes it look like the roto is cutout and you can see through it which would be exactly the same thing that you're getting at but in a messy workaround.
After 😄 even if you do color correction Ae will default to the video file itself and discard color corrections during the actual process of using Rotobrush so it sadly doesn't make a difference
This could be a problem where your footage framerate is different from your composition framerate. Check for a message at the bottom of your footage window and double check that those two frame rates match
Haris parts with this tool is a pain every time, the ia of this tool is really dumb. Updated from 2.0 to 3.0 and still same errors of selection if you work with small animations this is a pain
Why do you reply only to comments praising you with Wow amazing exactly what I needed Leaving out the ones like - "still not the same as.." with constructive replies such as, ok we'll consider that thank you. Do you need extra affirmations to your content?
Correct, but it will be coming to the main very shortly. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a part of the next main update given the stability and positive community reception
@@rano12321 is it more accurate? I tried both... Maybe I am using it wrong (but I've tried color page and fusion page) and rotobrush (2 and 3) has more control, freeze (prerender) of roto is quite helpful... But it's just my experience ☺️
@Env7y That's what the "Fusion" panel in DaVinci Resolve is for. It's a full compositor very similar to Nuke. Nuke has more fancy plug-ins, but Fusion is still pretty awesome. Btw I'm a professional CG/VFX/Animator, so nothing I said is pro or against. They're all just tools, and I use whatever the studio I'm working for has. So I've done allot of compositing in After Effects, but I've also used Nuke and Fusion.
Thanks for tutorial! Please tell me how can I add this rotobrush to blender. I made camera tracking in after effects and rotobrush of a moving object. I import all this into blender, but the rotobrush doesn't work. Do I need to set up a solid on the rotobrush object or a mask? How can I do this in after effects? how can i make it move like an object in blender?
it's crazy how much potential this Adobe program has. More video creators need to upskill themselves if they want to produce creative and unmatched content. I'm just starting to learn After FX after 2 years video editing on Premier and the potential this thing holds is breathtaking. Thank you so much for the detailed and fast guide through!
I am in video editing school, thank you so so much for your tutorials, they really help me when I do not catch something when we have lessions at school and I can learn the feature at home with your help, you are a life saver😊
This tool is useless. It takes forever to propogate, it can't replicate the mask from one frame to the next and it leaves a horrible edge in places even if you set the feather. You can even see it in the thumbnail of this video. When you then try to roll the footage you get a nasty flickering around the figure. Yuck.
How do you make it analyse and roto the entire clip though? If I go to play it it just plays a second and them just loops that, and the part thats been analysed disappears from the timeline once it goes so far past it.
