What is Rotoscope?
Rotoscoping has long been an important part of the filmmaking process.
Rotoscoping is the process of cutting things out of frame.
While the process initially started as a hand-drawn technique, it has evolved with technology to the point where it can now be done in after effects.
Let's take a look at some different ways to rotoscope in After Effects.
3 Different Ways to Rotoscope in After Effects
Rotoscoping with Mask Paths
Another way to rotoscope using Adobe After Effects is to manipulate a mask frame by frame.
While this process isn’t ideal, it often yields results far better than that of the Roto Brush.

Rotoscope With Roto Brush
Roto Brush is one of the easiest and simplest tools available to rotoscope artists.
The Roto brush works similarly to a brush in photoshop.
Drag it over the desired rotoscoping areas and adobe after effects software will make its best guess to cut out a perfect frame.
If you have simple objects in the scene, you can easily remove it using this tool.

Rotoscoping by Hand
You may not realize it, but masks will mold between keyframes in adobe after effects.
So if you set a mask to move forward and change the mask shape, the mask slowly meshes into the new shape between keyframes.
For rotoscoping, it is invaluable as it can prevent you from going frame by frame to get a perfect rotoscope.
