  • Rotoscoping is a meticulous and time-taking
    process. However, it's an essential skill for
    animators designer and visual effects artists who
    work in broadcasting, cinema and video
    production.
  • Here we tend to represent seven ways to make
    rotoscoping easier, effective and speed up the
    roto process without sacrificing quality.

1 Choose The Roto Starting Point Strategically
9
  • It looks intuitive to start rotoscoping on the
    very first frame of footage however, it's much
    smarter to choose the frame with the most
    information and start from there.
  • Analyze all of the footage before you start and
    map out a plan of execution.

10
2 Avoid Large Mask
11
  • Rather than working with a large and cumbersome
    mask, split it up into smaller segments and roto
    each piece individually.
  • It will be simpler to manage your control points,
    which will help to save time.
  • Example If you are rotoscoping a person, make
    use of separate masks for the head, body, arms,
    legs, etc. Watch how they walk and animate a set
    of overlapping masks.

12
3 Learn Techniques for Hair Roto
13
  • Rotoscoping around hair can be especially
    challenging and time-consuming.
  • It's important to learn specific techniques for
    hair roto available with software like Mocha.
  • Example Instead of outlining the hair with roto
    shapes, make use of splines to recreate it or
    paint multiple overlapping layers of matte for
    hair to achieve a wind-blown look.

14
4 Learn Rotoscope Keyboard Shortcuts
15
  • Whether you are using Mocha, Nuke, Silhouette or
    some other roto program, save yourself time by
    learning keyboard shortcuts.
  • In Mocha, you can customize shortcuts for every
    action, tool, and menu item.
  • This resource will walk you through the process.

16
5 Limit Use of Point
17
  • In roto, more points lead to shape chattering at
    the edges.
  • Carefully assess the complexity of the shape you
    are working with.
  • Can you afford to be a bit more economical with
    points? You need to describe the shape-extra
    points will lead to additional work.

18
6 Save The File
19
  • Even using tips like these, you will still spend
    the necessary amount of time painstakingly
    creating a final product. Save the file.
