Thanks for this great tutorial. For faster roto, Fusion offers some really powerful shortcuts to move selected points of the shape like s, x, y, (scale or move in x/y), t for twisting + mouse click/ drag or just hold option/alt and mouse click/drag for moving single points, which are near the mouse arrow. No selection of points needed here.
It depends on your needs, really! And the needs of your client. Magic masking can do a lot when complete precision isn't required. For the VFX industry, having those actual roto shapes be available is often a requirement. When you rotoscope, you end up with mask that's more accurate as well as one that can be adjusted later as needed. So the real answer is, it depends on the level of accuracy that's needed for a project. Obviously roto like this can get expensive quickly, but sometimes a quick matte from magic masking is all that's needed. An example from this project is the hair. Magic masking and AE's rotobrush will almost never be able to be as precise on things like fine hair.
@@swataramedia I use magic mask for 80% of the roto tasks I have to do, I'm a cgi/fx artist mostly but I work in a smaller studio so I'm often a one man show cgi wise so I comp my own stuff, magic mask hass really changed my roto game! It works so well on getting smooth edges if there is enough contrast, remember that you can always "modify" magic mask mattes too by just creating subtractive or additive masks on top of magic mask, so I usually just pull a magic mask and fix areas manually after that. But again I'm not working at a big studio with huge pipelines
Hi! I'm in love with your content. I wanted to ask if you can expand on a couple of things. How would you organize the mask points if the sign was spinning? How to deal with parts that are not visible all the time (for example hands going behind the body or worse covered by some foreground objects). Also would you use tracking for other rotoscoping tasks? Thank you so much!
Do you have any specific examples of things that were irrelevant or could be considered "yapping"? Around here the standard for constructive criticism is a lot higher than whatever this is :).
Depends on your needs! Sometimes magic mask or Rotobrush can give you the mattes you need, but often when you're working in a team environment, a roto artist needs to be able to hand off these roto shapes to a compositor. It just makes everything flow better. Just wanted to add some context for why roto is still done this way :).
@@swataramedia your video is highly valuable. magic mask is still in many occasions inferior to manual rotoscoping, especially in situations of bad contrast/lighting etc. its often not very clean. so thanks for the in-depth tutorial!
this is the best video I have ever seeing about Rotoscoping, i can't wait to see for part 2💖
This is by far the best explained tutorial on this, thank you
Great info. Looking forward to Part 2.
I am always amazed to learn new things about stuff I have been doing for years. Great video, I'm looking forward to part 2.
Oh, the sounds is back. Much obliged. Thank you.
GREAT, my hero
Great explanation and tutorial, keep teaching and sharing, you rock!
Wow great tutorial. Thanks! Yes I’d like to see more!!

The effort is crazy. Thank you sir
Amazing tutorial!
I've missed you so much! ❤
What do you think about magic masking? Is it the same thing and when would you use the planar tracking instead of magic masking?

Where did YOU learn DaVinci, amazing video btw!
Fantastic.
Informative
Thank you very much

Ill just pay $300 for magic mask, thanks

How to rotoscope trees in wind 😂
Roto with keyers.
