Rotobrush 1 was trash. Could never hold a selection, and it would end up taking as much time to create a matte as it would just using masks. I'm always finding myself having to redraw the rotobrush matte for every single frame. I hope Rotobrush 2 is better.
But do you have an "idea" or a time estimation regarding for how long it takes for the beta to become an official update and being released?? What is it usually like (timewise)? approx how many weeks?
Adarsh Chandran yo could you help when i render a regular video with no masking it renders perfectly but when i mask a video the video doesnt render fully
Damn! As someone who literally spent 5 hours rotoscoping frame by frame last night with the mask tool I am SUPER HYPED for this! Thanks for another amazing tutorial Ian, you da man!
A M A Z I N G !!! I have to say I kept waiting for you to notice and take out the background area between his arm. Thanks so much for this awesome showcase vid!
Love Rotobrush 2. Thanks for doing this easy-to-follow demo. I've had moderate success with Rotobrush 1, but this is huge leap forward. It blew my mind to see how well the chatter reduction works. Adobe, I am impressed...again. I no longer dread having to roto a shot.
I had a very difficult time roto-ing a dark monster face and separating the facial elements (lower jaw, upper teeth, upper face, etc.) and roto v1 was SLOW and very tedious to see how the smoothness of the roto would look in motion. This tutorial convinced me to port over to AE 17.1.3 beta to try the roto brush v2, and I'm so thankful I did. The roto speed is remarkably faster and more responsive, and scrubbing in full resolution was a breeze compared to before. Your tips on editing the mask after the roto brush is finished was super helpful-I wasn't following that before and some pesky problems went away after adopting that workflow. Million thanks for this great tutorial!
This is Epic! There is a Twiki that I have been wanting to add to my bit Alert but I almost threw my laptop across the room because of Roto1!! Let’s see how Roto 2 works with bad quality pixelation lol. Missed ya dude! Welcome back! Stay easy!
I watched your tut soo IN TIME, made a rotoscope with the first version rotobrush and it was so bad.. Just now I'm trying the second version and it works PERFECTLY on my video. Thank you!!
Thanks! The problem I am having with rotobrush is that I am trying to cut out subjects from photos and then adding motion to the subject in the photo. The issue is now that I have 7 photos in a collage, the rotobrush propagating is taking a long time to run, and I cannot see any of my work on the screen. How can someone improve the propogation process speed so that I can play through my composition to check the motion?
I am trying to use the Rotobrush for my clip, but it literally keeps selecting everything on the frame instead of what I want selected, even trying to remove something from the selection does nothing to the actual selection. I need help with this immediately!!!
Seems easy with a man not moving so fast with attached short hair. I would like to see how it can handle with a woman moving with long hair or with some fast movements like someone dancing or jumping all the way up.
I once spent 14 hours rotoing a clip, 8 seconds long, 30fps. After the second crash. I never roto'd again, until now. But it also crashed while working through this tut.
When rotobrush 1 came out when i was in art school the entire class was basically on the same page, eh, this is a really cool idea but its going to be absolutely amazing once they improve it. Looks like that day is finally here
Seriously, great tutorial. I'm having a blast using rotobrush2. Question: I'm doing a 4 minute video, do I have to propagate frame by frame? Is there a faster way than FbF or 10F jumps? thanks in advance.
Excellent tutorial and "Thank you!" However what kept throwing me off is when you instructed and said 'CONTROL' key plus click & drag to change brush size and 'CONTROL' key plus right / left arrow to go to next frame. I think you meant the 'Command' key in addition to the other actions?
Hey! They're telling me to redefine my composition on 16,667 i/s whenever I try rotobrushing, otherwise it'll crash and I have no idea how to do that :( could you help me?
Thanks for explaining rotobrush 2. Doing a frame by frame touch up is tedious though when you have a 5 minute video to lift the dancers off. I expect to spend my next few lifetimes completing it :S
Great tutorial. Thanks. I have a painting in the background that I am trying to change. Hands exchange some papers in front of the painting. I want to keep the 2 people, and rest of art gallery in the shot but get rid of the painting. I tried using 2.0 and all the info here (and there) but the rotoscope just jitters and jumps no matter how many times I go over it (about 8 hours and counting), partly because the tones in the faces and hands are quite similar to those in the painting I want to scope out. It would be great to be able to have the rotoscope 'read' a more contrasty background (red alpha overlay, for example) AND be able to see your original drawn lines. Possible? It's also STILL extremely frustrating to have to wait for the propagation time and time again, every time you make a few small changes. Any way to avoid the constant rendering until you're finally ready to freeze it? So far, for a rather complex and longish (5 seconds) clip, there isn't a lot of difference between 1.0 and 2.0 for me.
Which version of Adobe after effects will rotobrush 2 be in exactly? (Assuming it officially releases after the beta)
You can download After Effects Beta from the Creative Cloud app! There's a little science / beaker icon where you can explore beta apps!
Knowing its adobe, its their newest paywall cloud version.

I come back to this video every time I need a refresher on rotobrush 2.
I like how you made the guy walk away 8:24 haha.

I have done this manually. SOOO many times lol... Finally found a good tutorial that just tells it how it is = ) Thanks

came across this video on my recommendations, watched it, saw that you were wearing a sweet Team Liquid shirt, then found out you work there! SUBBED.
Just got After Effects to go along with Premier, nice to have so many tutorials from you!
There's a lot to watch ;)
I haven't even learned rotobrush 1 yet! 😅 I'm gonna go learn it now so I can upgrade to rotobrush 2 and be super impressed. Great video!
This bay far the best tutorial i have seen in 2020 thank you so much i really needed this your the best thank you.
Yaay, another awesome tutorial from my favorite TH-cam. Love your content man... keep making more !!
Thank you for watching!
I watched 3 prior roto vids b4 this, and my friend this was most easiest to grasp understand and follow. Thank bro ✊🏾

Thanks man!
I love the way you teach, entertaining yet informative.
wow such a fun guy like how you showed everything with ease
FFS... all I have forgotten was to freeze it... Thanks man, you saved my finals assignment!
I havent even tried the rotobrush 2 tool yet but im positive that it will work fine. Thanks for the tutorial!!
I watched your tut soo IN TIME, made a rotoscope with the first version rotobrush and it was so bad.. Just now I'm trying the second version and it works PERFECTLY on my video. Thank you!!
Don't thank me! Thank the After Effects team lol
you're the first youtuber to showcase this.. awesome :P
This tutorial was thorough I want to scream. I love it. Got me unstuck on something I'm working on thank you.

Are you a wizard?
With rotobrush 2, yes!
I am trying to use the Rotobrush for my clip, but it literally keeps selecting everything on the frame instead of what I want selected, even trying to remove something from the selection does nothing to the actual selection. I need help with this immediately!!!
You're applying roto brush onto the actual clip itself and not trying on an adjustment layer or pre-comp or anything? That seems odd...
If you are rotobrushing a composition, make sure that the composition's frame rate is the same frame rate as the one you are working on.
I'm having the same problem :(
same for me
@@LearnHowToEditStuff that doesnt fix the problem tho.
Everything I wanted to know and nothing I didn't - great tutorial!
Thank you for the time stamps. Helps a lot
I legitimately just found out about this feature like... yesterday. Time to go back and do my entire catalog! lol
looks good... no more headaches..
FINALY I CAN CHANGE THE SIZE OF MY BRUSH!! THANK YOOOOU!
You are a life saver, these videos are helping me so much with my music visualizers. Much love and many thanks!!
Just used rotobrush on a meme. Very happy with how well it works
Wow this looks really fun!
Thank you for in depth knowledge of rotobrush 2 ....♥️♥️
This is actually so good
After effect is a life saving for years.
Thank you very much bro. I see this rotobrush tool in my after effects but didnt know that it is this much useful.
I haven’t heard of Rotobrush until right now and its basically premieres equivalent of the quick selection tool in photoshop
wow thank you ive skipped rotobrush coz my entire experience on rotobrush 1 is a nightmare...... BUT MAAAN This ROTOBRUSH 2 is AWESOMETACULAR!
Thank you so much! This is helping me save hours of time on my project!
That's one way to push your videos to 10 minutes. Talk about everything! XD
Which for the most part was beneficial for those who are more curious.
Awesome, thank you. Can’t wait to try this out . This works like I thought the OG rotobrush would work.
Holy hell... Adobe should give you a truckload of money because this is an amazing tut!
Great tutorial, my fave so far!
I love this! I’ll definitely work on getting my hands on this to add new dimensions to my videos! Thank you!
Thank you! I never understood Rotobrush right and so didnt use it... But now i maybe can finally be like the deadline :D
I for the life of me couldnt remember the freeze button. Thank god. Couldnt figure out what i was doing wrong. Thanks
Excellent vid - was super turned off by version one, but this gives me great hope again!
Thanks so much! Was getting frustrated with difference matte.... Had a very busy background.
Kudos for the Team Liquid shirt
Seems easy with a man not moving so fast with attached short hair. I would like to see how it can handle with a woman moving with long hair or with some fast movements like someone dancing or jumping all the way up.
around 3 minutes into this video there is a pretty good example of someone with lots of movement! th-cam.com/video/uUwOV1v8zBg/w-d-xo.html
Plus the whole source clip was 1.5 seconds. If even that.
Cinecom has a video with a dancer with pretty quick moves. It worked perfect for them.
@@ayby17 Is anyone doing it not in 1080? Cause in 6k footage it's slow as hell.
Or a guy stationery. But holding a football and moves arms to 90degrees... I gave up 😖
Awesome tutorial! And entertaining. Thanks for this.
Amazing video thank u so much!!! ❤ subscribed
I once spent 14 hours rotoing a clip, 8 seconds long, 30fps. After the second crash. I never roto'd again, until now. But it also crashed while working through this tut.
Update: Clear adobe AE Cache before each roto project, also convert video into tiff seq seems to be more stable doing those two items.
thats why u spam save
Feel for you bro; doing a 5 minute video myself. I may not survive to completion
I spent two full days and still having problems

ever figure that out? I have a fast pc and its slow af

Thankss so much information i got here, subscribed!
Excellent tutorial and "Thank you!" However what kept throwing me off is when you instructed and said 'CONTROL' key plus click & drag to change brush size and 'CONTROL' key plus right / left arrow to go to next frame. I think you meant the 'Command' key in addition to the other actions?
Windows users have CTRL (control key) instead of Apple Users command key
Average Mac user 💀

Great tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you for that tut mate!
Lemme just say, Jump Street movies were waaaay better than I ever expected. I've watched those movies ten times. I think I will go for 11 now.
