Tracker2Mask is an After Effects script that computes the movement of mask shapes based on the movement of trackpoints. It is easy and flexible to use. In particular you don’t need one trackpoint for each maskpoint.
-
The workflow is as follows:
- track a few points (something between one and four points is reasonable, even for complex mask shapes) that represent the basic movement of the object which you want to draw a mask around
- keyframe the mask by hand in the first and last frame
- use the script to predict keyframes in between (the script uses the tracker information for this prediction which is hence much better than the simple interpolation done by after effects itself)
Step 3) can be interleaved with manual corrections which leads to a quite fast, assisted rotoscoping workflow.
Tutorial 1
In this first tutorial I show how to rotoscope the shape of a moving car based on only four trackpoints, for simpler shapes often one trackpoint is sufficient.
Tutorial 2
In the second tutorial I describe some new features of Tracker2Mask that allow local modifications of masks.

Very nice plugin Mathias!! Looking forward to use it. It will most definitely decrease the time it takes to doing roto work.
how can i donwload it without account in paypal (sorry, i don’t have money to pay it and i can’t have one account in paypal)?
@tulio: You can just lower the price in the shopping system to $0. Then you are not asked any payment information but only have to give your email where the download link should be send.
Parabéns Muito Bom!
Seems a great tool. Can’t wait to have a go at it.
