CloseTracker2Mask calculates the movement of mask shapes based on the motion of trackpoints, and is flexible and easy to use. Importantly, you don't need one trackpoint for each maskpoint.
Example
I want to personally thank you for saving me from countless hours of Roto-Hell. Patrick Siemer, after finishing the clip above
I don't know how I'd live without this tool. I use it every day.Jack Tunnicliffe, Java Post Production
Workflow
- track several points (somewhere between one and four points is reasonable, even for complex mask shapes) which represent the basic movement of the object that you want to draw a mask around
- keyframe the mask by hand for the first and last frame
- use the script to predict the keyframes in between (the script uses the tracker information for this prediction, which is thus a vast improvement on the simple interpolation done by After Effects)
The third step can be interleaved with manual corrections, which leads to a rather fast, assisted rotoscoping workflow.
Tutorial
Rotoscope the shape of a moving car based on only four trackpoints; for simpler shapes, one trackpoint is often sufficient.
