[x1c3x]

nice big element...yeah

i see what you did there

[LishLash]

Worthless! Plods through this whole fingerpainting exercise and at the end, he doesn't even bother to explain how to make the color correction affect only the rotobrushed area instead of the whole layer.

[thafoofa]

@LishLash The point was to explain the rotobrush tool, not color correction, you dummy.

[blakewooddrums]

you don't even know how much you helped all of us...thank you sooooo much :)

[1edrakel]

Thank you, finally a tutorial that really answered some questions I had.

[DomkratRUS]

[animals113]

[DamMediaFilms]

My mouth just dropped

[ilovethesimpsons8]

is it possible to use the roto brush for lighsabers?

[1123581321enter]

@ilovethesimpsons8 i dont think so, with all the motion blur and precision needed to do a light saber effect..rotobrush is more to isolate subjects then adding

[komrad36]

duuuuuuude.

[asderso]

Hi, after contouring the silhouette in my clip, when start to propagate the rotobrush the black background invades the silhouette in some spots and the separation between contour and black background is all intermingling, the silhouette I need to be sharp contoured is intermingled with the black background in various spots looking like a very poor job... please help how to keep the contour super sharp around the silhouette ?

[robbswiatekfilms]

THANK YOU! The Roto Brush "span" is exactly what I was looking for! GREAT tutorial!

[donatelo11]

[quietthomas]

Mask it and colour correct it - damn thing hardly moves anyways. Roto-brush is Roto-lame.

[DeepBlueSkyy]

@SimLees i think to type ctrl + y or ctrl + y (twice).

[NaviLight]

Very helpful tutorial, thanks :D

[MOXWELLDIAMOND]

Affordable Software FTW!

[Frederico193]

AMAZING

[DanieltheError]

Beautiful!

[tarunz007]

[AgentEnigma]

Then you simply use Mocha which comes with CS5 or CS4 to remove the hand.  See ImagineerSystems on YT good tutorials.

[estebanflyer]

I am in love

[LynguriZ]

zomg, this is jizzable material

[dodododa]

What if she puts her hand infront of the bowl?

[ronnykill3r]

@dodododa 2 separate selection, prolly?

[JakJak478]

@dodododa well I'm thinking you could just roto around her hand.

[Muhiddin92]

wah ...

this sooo good ...

i will upgrade my AE

[kenth65]

This will save me time roto brush is awesome

[Aftereffectsmad]

jizzed !

[Roboman1723]

MUST GET!

[darthguy3]

Wow. This technology is amazing, I know this will save me countless of hours of rotoscoping!

[JoaoAlv3s]

what's cooking?

[mattsmad]

Oh good God! The Roto brush just blew my friggin mind!!!!

[thanxx]

@mattsmad you dont get out much do you son?? lol

[HoodsDream]

@thanxx

lmao you got jokes.

[pixiepixzy]

@mattsmad Don't be too impressed; the fact is that Rotobrush can only do the simplest tasks. Try and do something a bit more complicated, and it's a complete disaster. That or I can't find the magical button to make it work...either one...

[Djghost1123]

@pixiepixzy yes true but its still much simpler then keying it frame by frame manually

[JesiErin]

Love it!

[danonabouncycastle]

This makes me want to abandon Shake...
