Rotoscoping in After Effects just got a major upgrade.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the new Object Matte tools to select, propagate, modify, and refine complex subjects. We’ll explore Object Matte, Quick Selection, Selection Brush, Refine Edge, freezing, chatter reduction, and what to do when the AI doesn’t quite behave as advertised.
