@kittensrcute6 not easy at all its very intimidating when you first open it but its fun to play around with it and it will give you amazing results.but there are tons of tutorials on youtube that could help you. so good luck n.n
Wacom tablet shouldn't make a difference, it makes the cutting process easier, but with the "roto-brush" you it makes resizing and stabilizing the brush much quicker.
Not to mention in After Effects, the images are continually rasterized and they offer better quality than vegas 10
@PPForya80 so, the full process is a lot easier in a.e. than in vegas...rotobrush seems a very usefull function, not perfect but ehi its a huge step up..at least for me that i've to work on multiple miniclips and the process is very tedious to do in vega 10 redirecting every pen point at each frame..even if the same clip is made of 5 frame,well the only problem is if i can export the work made at a.e. in vegas 10 without quality loss but that's another problem. PPForya80, thanks for the answers.
That's the thing, you could export from AE so that you lose no quality. Simply use an uncompressed codec and edit between the two programs. For special effects/masks and other effects use After Effects, render your scene and place it in Sony Vegas. If it helps, if I ever use Sony Vegas, I use After Effects to play around with effects. I'll do a specific section with effects in After Effects and then render it and place it back into Sony Vegas.

well, CTRL + Z is supposed to be a command that removes a previous step done in most editing programs.
Why it closes for you, I'm not sure. Are you using a PC or a Mac?
If you use CTRL + Z it should only bring you back to the last move that was previously done and remove it, CTRL + Shift + Z will take you back. Try setting hotkeys within the preferences in AE so you can get around it.
@stefi6666 well what you want to do is when you render your movie, make sure the alpha channels for when you export are checked on. It will be under the export settings where you can set what codec to use.
WAH! this looks like exactly what I'm looking for! :D but how much will it cost? I'm having a hard time finding "exactly what I'm looking for" at a price under $1000...
This you can get for just a little over $1000 on a stand-alone copy of After Effects CS5. However, I would strongly recommend getting the entire suite and saving up the money for it. They have trials you can try and there are other obscure ways of getting the copy of the program. The best way is to obviously buy it, but if you must get the program, I would get it with the entire suite.
@PPForya80 I would assume that the full suite would cost more though right? the main reason I'm looking for a new program is because I want to have a masking tool for amvs. I don't really care about what the other features are as long as it has other features ^_^'' you wouldn't happen to know of any other programs that don't cost as much would you? if not, I guess I'll have to save up for *does math* 50 months... but I can do it! I know I can! >:D
In any case, there are many ways to "mask," for example: the use of Photoshop, or simply using a program like Pinnacle Studio 11 (around $100) or uLead, etc. etc. Those other programs are much cheaper but not as easy to get around as some of the other programs out there.
After Effects by far is the best for general compositing (masking/etc) but for your needs, look into Sony Vegas Pro. It's about $300-500 dollars.
Have you tried out Motion 4? It's similar to After Effects only it comes bundled with Particle Illusions and it is a bit harder to play around and get similar effects but it does allow you to create some pretty seamless masking. I made my first live-action video using nothing other than Motion and Final Cut when I first used a Mac.
i heard you can adjust the size of the brush by holding down control and draggin mouse (its not that important), but i heard that it makes for a better result if you dont play it back and let it try to figure it out, instead of that, go frame by frame for like 5 frames and adjust the mask because it will remember what you adjusted and then it can render the mask out more clearly (i dont know i just saw another tutorial)
Man, you don't know how many fucking times I've had a scene that would've got better with masking, but just wasn't worth it; this is going to change that.
On a mac it should be identical. Once you've loaded the footage, you should be able to drag the file onto your timeline. The timeline for footage and project files is basically that gray area next to the lighter-gray box. If you can't seem to drag it in, it is most likely because you've not created a composition. To do this, go to the "Composition" tab and click it, then scroll to "New Composition" and have it match your footage's properties.
Well that can be argued. AE CS4 and AE CS5 are virtually the same as far as how much resources are needed from a computer (it is recommended that the PC in use has at the very least, 2 GB of ram from both, but it can work under a minimum of 512 MB just fine). The only requirement is that it is 64-bit capable, and any computer made as of 2005, (AMD, specifically) has had this 64-bit component for a while now.
@PPForya80 I also heard that it doesn't work with any Windows other than Vista and 7, is that true? I got my laptop in 2008, and the system type is 32-bit. I'm not that computer savvy, but is there anyway to upgrade it to a 64-bit or is this a hardware related issue?
No, it should still operate fine with an XP computer (as long as there is a native 64-bit copy of Windows XP installed).
As for the 64-bit question, yes it is hardware related. Before you can upgrade an OS (Windows XP/Vista/7) to a 64-bit copy from a 32-bit copy, you need to have a computer that can allow 64-bit compatibility.
If you got your laptop as of 2008, I'm almost positive it has 64-bit capabilities. Tell me if there's a sticker anywhere that says: AMD x64 or Intel.
64-bit actually does quite a bit. Most of the CS5 collection is done and scripted entirely in a completely redefined 64-bit architecture. On top of that, 64-bit allows for much more dynamic ram use; 32-bit is limited at 3 GB. 64-bit at a total of 128 GB of RAM. On top of that certain cards ONLY work with a 64-bit architecture, the cards that are meant specifically with use with After Effects.
@StarRoseAngelic I disagree, the only knew requirement is a 64 bit operation system, ram, cpu speed, graphics card. are still exactly the same. If you have a computer that cannot run a 64 bit system then I doubt you will have a good time with AE.
Nice Video but i think it need more effects.. you can get nice video effects plugins and addons from aries-films file section. Just google for Aries-Films man.. pc
you said it was a BETA like 5 times.... in lest then 30 seconds.... i think we get it lol, And what adobe CS5 program are you most looking forward to?
So pete/guy thingy... We hear the guy about to use his atomic sneeze attack around... O.o
What an ass... It comes out in may ;/, that reminda me of the time when i saw a store that had at least 30 in the window, and they said they ddnt have any... Next time i should throw you at them and run... xD
Like I told everyone else who claim effort over masking, MASKING IS A TASK, NOT WHAT MAKES CREATIVITY.
There's no "effort" done when people just mask for the hell of it, what takes 5 hours, takes 5 minutes, and you're able to use your creativity better now because more people can take the time to work on their video instead of 900 hours on the masking.
Well this new rotobrush feature is amazing . But as soon as it becomes easier to get (For Home consumers who go for the illegal option ) Its going to take the wow out of masking . And put a new perspective of editing . Where the perfection element of a mask will be like a new normal . And blah blah bleh . But still good feature . Can't wait to test it out myself with mah crazeh Malleh ideas .
Masking was never a "wow" just something that allowed users to take creations to a new level. You erase the hours of doing that and focus on your original idea and you'd still have an AMV.
You wouldn't like AMVs like Attack of the Otaku any less if it was all done using this Rotobrush technique, and I'm sure there would be no difference save for many hours of grief.
Wise words. Mine handles it decently, I had Camtasia open while recording as well as a few background applications. With a pretty decent hi-end computer, there was still just a bit of lag as far as the rendering went.
You need to use the tool itself and really see for yourself if it's gonna be worth it. If you've ever done anything outside of anime with real-live footage you understand how certain features like "motion-tracking" or stabilization work inside After Effects. And you understand that there are those colors that sometimes blend with your points that make it hard to get a clean-cut mask. I've tried it with live action and it works much better because anime usually dilates each frame
making it so that, say, something that normally would be happening in every frame ( a small move, that technically would be just an inch of movement in a traditional live-action video spawned across 30 frames, happens in 15 because anime uses much less frames in order to achieve a 30 fps video. So in an anime that is 30 fps or 23, you usually won't see much more than 12 unique frames in those 23-30 frames.
If there was some sort of mix between anime and live-action, uhm perhaps the Kill-Bill special anime cutscene, if you wanted to try and cut someone out of a scene and place it into a LA scene, you would get what any other typical mask would be. Live Action into anime could also be done, of course you'd just have to spend hours tweaking colors and grading your footage.
and the beta release won't have much difference, save for a few minor upgrades in speed, and of course the rotobrush.
And don't lie, you're gonna love the rotobrush. Everyone CAN mask, and DO mask, but just because they can, doesn't mean that they are creative. All this does s make a gay ass task, fast and easy, but for someone to make a successful video, you need creativity.
Yeah I'm gonna love it as a tool, But im going to hate it on how much its gonna be whored. its gonna change everything.. There was a time where people would appreciate the amount of effort people put into their masking. But now it's gonna be like "bleh, its just rotobrush so what".
Well, it'll make people realize that effects aren't everything, right? :)
Rotobrush was designed for people who are indie film makers, or people who want to create a quick piece of motion graphic without having to worry about going in and manually cutting out the people frame by frame. It wasn't designed for those that work on amvs as a hobby, so obviously there will be flaws. People who use it would just get a clean-cut mask, how they use it is up to them.
I knew it would work well for anime! The irony is that, in my current project I could really use it - it has a lot of masking. But I won't get CS5 for quite some time now... Anyways, good tut.
I saw videos on CS5 a few days ago, I'm so going to try and get it ._.. It's totally going to ruin the whole "masking" iddea of AMVs though, it won't seem like the editor put much effort into it xD.
WE MUST TALK SOONZ <3
Btw hope you feel better soon, you sound a bitz ill o: <3
XD well, the thing is that Sony Vegas is meant to be a program that is more known for its ability to provide a simple editing solution; the makers of Sony Vegas expect people who use their product to already have a production team behind them before they use the program (meaning a green-screen kit, multiple cameras, etc etc) it isn't meant for anime, and given that most anime is rendered with both a background and the foreground - characters - you're left to do all the work.
What I would do is try to learn the features within CS4 over CS3 before jumping on to CS5. I still use CS4 because I have all my plugins and what not loaded onto that version. CS5 on the other hand doesn't have much support for the same ones just yet, and it is a 64-bit only app, so if you are running a 32-bit computer, it won't work at all. :(
@PPForya80 Well Im going to wait until at least the full version is up, and transferring plugins/presets etc will take a couple of hours at most so I wont mind ^^
I havent seen much difference between CS3 and CS4 yet though, Im only novice to intermediate level at the program so as long as no major changes have been made I should be fine :3
Well you get a few new plugins over CS4 as far as effects. Under the hood though, you get a much faster rendering system on CS5, not to mention the ability to do a full-preview which means you could render an entire composition and play it back in real time without having to do just sections at a time. You'll know what I mean when you build a very complicated motion graphic or have many layers running on a single comp.

Well this new rotobrush feature is amazing . But as soon as it becomes easier to get (For Home consumers who go for the illegal option ) Its going to take the wow out of masking . And put a new perspective of editing . Where the perfection element of a mask will be like a new normal . And blah blah bleh . But still good feature . Can't wait to test it out myself with mah crazeh Malleh ideas .

@Malster3
Masking was never a "wow" just something that allowed users to take creations to a new level. You erase the hours of doing that and focus on your original idea and you'd still have an AMV.
You wouldn't like AMVs like Attack of the Otaku any less if it was all done using this Rotobrush technique, and I'm sure there would be no difference save for many hours of grief.

Wise words. Mine handles it decently, I had Camtasia open while recording as well as a few background applications. With a pretty decent hi-end computer, there was still just a bit of lag as far as the rendering went.

Not really, not at all. You still put around the same amount of work, maybe in a little more less time and sloppier.
SupaKaream 1 year ago
@SupaKaream
You need to use the tool itself and really see for yourself if it's gonna be worth it. If you've ever done anything outside of anime with real-live footage you understand how certain features like "motion-tracking" or stabilization work inside After Effects. And you understand that there are those colors that sometimes blend with your points that make it hard to get a clean-cut mask. I've tried it with live action and it works much better because anime usually dilates each frame
PPForya80 1 year ago
@PPForya80
making it so that, say, something that normally would be happening in every frame ( a small move, that technically would be just an inch of movement in a traditional live-action video spawned across 30 frames, happens in 15 because anime uses much less frames in order to achieve a 30 fps video. So in an anime that is 30 fps or 23, you usually won't see much more than 12 unique frames in those 23-30 frames.
PPForya80 1 year ago
@PPForya80 Yeah I've seen some reviews of rotoscope/brush with live action.
Luckily I'm just curious if it's going to be useful to me. Is it any good in masking anime on live action?
SupaKaream 1 year ago
@SupaKaream
If there was some sort of mix between anime and live-action, uhm perhaps the Kill-Bill special anime cutscene, if you wanted to try and cut someone out of a scene and place it into a LA scene, you would get what any other typical mask would be. Live Action into anime could also be done, of course you'd just have to spend hours tweaking colors and grading your footage.
PPForya80 1 year ago
lol No poin of getting the beta release. Just wait for Cs5.
And i Hate the rotobrush. its gonna make everyone lazy.
THANKS FOR SHARING too the whole world |:
SupaKaream 1 year ago
@SupaKaream
you're welcome,
and the beta release won't have much difference, save for a few minor upgrades in speed, and of course the rotobrush.
And don't lie, you're gonna love the rotobrush. Everyone CAN mask, and DO mask, but just because they can, doesn't mean that they are creative. All this does s make a gay ass task, fast and easy, but for someone to make a successful video, you need creativity.
PPForya80 1 year ago
@PPForya80
Yeah I'm gonna love it as a tool, But im going to hate it on how much its gonna be whored. its gonna change everything.. There was a time where people would appreciate the amount of effort people put into their masking. But now it's gonna be like "bleh, its just rotobrush so what".
*Deletes Project with intensive masking
SupaKaream 1 year ago
@SupaKaream
Well, it'll make people realize that effects aren't everything, right? :)
Rotobrush was designed for people who are indie film makers, or people who want to create a quick piece of motion graphic without having to worry about going in and manually cutting out the people frame by frame. It wasn't designed for those that work on amvs as a hobby, so obviously there will be flaws. People who use it would just get a clean-cut mask, how they use it is up to them.

I knew it would work well for anime! The irony is that, in my current project I could really use it - it has a lot of masking. But I won't get CS5 for quite some time now... Anyways, good tut.

@MrHollowfication
XD well, the thing is that Sony Vegas is meant to be a program that is more known for its ability to provide a simple editing solution; the makers of Sony Vegas expect people who use their product to already have a production team behind them before they use the program (meaning a green-screen kit, multiple cameras, etc etc) it isn't meant for anime, and given that most anime is rendered with both a background and the foreground - characters - you're left to do all the work.

ArtysticAMV 1 year ago
@ArtysticAMV
!!!!
What I would do is try to learn the features within CS4 over CS3 before jumping on to CS5. I still use CS4 because I have all my plugins and what not loaded onto that version. CS5 on the other hand doesn't have much support for the same ones just yet, and it is a 64-bit only app, so if you are running a 32-bit computer, it won't work at all. :(
PPForya80 1 year ago
@PPForya80 Well Im going to wait until at least the full version is up, and transferring plugins/presets etc will take a couple of hours at most so I wont mind ^^
I havent seen much difference between CS3 and CS4 yet though, Im only novice to intermediate level at the program so as long as no major changes have been made I should be fine :3
ArtysticAMV 1 year ago
@ArtysticAMV
Well you get a few new plugins over CS4 as far as effects. Under the hood though, you get a much faster rendering system on CS5, not to mention the ability to do a full-preview which means you could render an entire composition and play it back in real time without having to do just sections at a time. You'll know what I mean when you build a very complicated motion graphic or have many layers running on a single comp.
