bro's doing the dream pose

[@paulie2140]

Thanks John, as always, straight to the point, very informative with some really handy tips.

if the selection disappears how do i see the selection again? When the selection isn't there(pink outline) part of the scene is the checkerboard and I have to reference for cutting out my actor.

[@HeyDaniiel]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have. question, what is the best format to do this on after effect? MP4, .MOV or which one?

[@xgas.hurried9894]

Format doesn't matter. Take anything except mkv.

[@candiclip]

is there a way to export a roto layer to premiere? i wanna edit in premiere but overlay the roto video over some other video in premiere

[@IPSUMstudio1]

export it as prores 444 with alpha channel

[@Nick-tl7ts]

sadly rotobrush1 is still better

[@KellieNewport]

for some reason the magenta line just keeps doing the border of the video for me, so frustrating!

[@SebDJ]

Good demo, but unfortunately in practice it's a buggy piece of crap that just crashes non-stop!

[@harisbinsaeed]

for 1 minute of footage, it takes a lot of time, re-render each frame IDK whenever I open the project, and also slows down after effects, I have a very good computer, with no slow even on every type of motion graphics, but this feature needs to be light mode and handy, when AI can do it easily, I'm sure adobe customers deserve that too.

[@_Bandit88]

Adobe is falling behind all the AI tools. The rotobrush looks pretty dated. Runway is much better. Evoto editor also makes photoshop look awful.

[@petersolomon5227]

This AE Roto Brush may be a major update, but it is still terribly fiddly. It’s too easy in my view to “drop a stitch” and then the whole exercise has been a waste of time. In addition I do not agree Runway keying is the answer to everyone’s rotoscope tasks. It is not bad but end users still need to do clean up.

[@Vertexvoyager]

after i freeze it everything else vanishes i can only see black background

[@multiversescriptutes8400]

Doesn't work. My software is stuck and won't do a damn thing.

[@BenCaesar]

This was as concise as it gets thank you !

[@brytonentertainment]

I'm trying to rotoscope a cactus in a side scrolling video. How do I gradually rotoscope, as the cactus appears on the left side and disappears at the right side of the video?

[@alfredoduran9936]

Cuando voy a utilizar el pincel de rotoscopia y seleccionó una forma o una persona, se me selecciona toda la imagen, y no sé como arreglarlo, Por favor AYUDAA .

[@elpaulo7314]

what's your pc fonfiguration ? I have a pretty good configuration but only 16go of ram and it's very awful using rotobrush 3 thanks !

[@CamiloMonsalve]

Wha is the command to run the rotobrush backwards?

[@heppmedien]

thanks for this tutorial. greeting from germany.

[@boxy3087]

propagating is too slow, how to speed it up?

[@AdobeForMe]

thank you ! this was useful

[@robjoyce-lifestyle6464]

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.

[@PhilMao]

in general, faster shutter speed = less motion blur. At minimum, your shutterspeed is typically double your frame rate (so 24 fps = 1/48 or 1/50 shutter speed, etc)

[@LawsOnJoystick]

So what’s new?

[@johnthevideoguy]

The two new things you can expect is that roto brush 3.0 will render the frames faster and that the matte it generates will be more accurate compared to previous versions.

[@peterschreuder2600]
