For you folks that are new this tool, don't get too excited. This only works well if your subject is in front of a simple background that is in high contrast to your subject, like the sky he's showing here. For anything else, you WILL have to tediously paint out all the colors in the background that the tool picks up, frame by frame. If you shoot against a sky, backdrop, or a very controlled setting, you'll be fine. Even with all the advancement in AI/machine learning, tools like Runway, rotobrush 3, DaVinci, etc...are all hit and miss. They work great for some shots and awful for others. Sadly the most reliable rotoscoping is still the old school, tedious way. Sucks.
Yes, however you want your subject to have contrasting colours. I am currently rotscoping footage for a client that was against a blue screen. However, the green and blue tones were similar, rotoscope got confused by the reflective clothing AND the edges of the top had the same colour blue as the background. Much pain has been had right now.@@mindset9102
Great advice. It’s also dependent on your machines GPU and RAM. The stronger the editing machine, the better the results (up to a certain point). If it’s this good now, I can’t imagine it having issues 5-10 years from now 👍
@@ae.sanji_ I just didn't know that I had to click it. I thought I would understand after effects and premiere pro the same way I understood photoshop, but these two programs are crazy.
Right tool for the right job, AND after using the RotoBrush now for years on a daily basis, along with Keylight and traditional Roto in both AE and Mocha, it will take some time to sus out how to use and adjust the matte for high level results - just like any extraction tool.
