In this video, we go over some of the core concepts behind rotoscoping and how to tackle some common problems. This is the first part in a series of videos diving into how we can use DaVinci Resolve to complete various stages of the VFX pipeline.

Rotoscoping is such a tedious task but still an important job, even with the crazy new AI masking tools we have these days like RunwwayML (Website), Rotobrush 3.0 (Premiere), Magic Mask (Davinci Studio), Depth Map (DaVinci) and the likes or green screen, sometimes you just have to do it manually like this or use a combination of AI and some manual roto for clean up.
My 12 yo daughter had to do a video project for school, a report on a natural disaster. I suggested she do it as a fake newscast shot on green screen. Unfortunetly I didn;t have all my lights ready when she decided to do this (Daddy, my friend is coming in 10 minutes to do our project) ... so I decided to try and backlight my green screen using the daylight from the patio door. It was a cloudy day so the light was nice and diffuse but a couple of times the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and so there where white spots on the green screen where direct sunlight hit.
I eventually added some diffusion material (dollar store shower curtain) to the patio door and that solved the issues but for some of the earlier shots we had to roto some bits around my daughter or her friend when the sun turned my green screen white in spots.
My daughter did it for one scene (it's her project, I'm not going to do all the owrk for her. Just showed he how) and then gave it up and just left the slight imperfection in (but she added bloopers at the end). Turns out the other kids complained they didn't know how to do a video and the teacher decided the kids could do it as a normal presentation OR a video ... my daughter and her friend were the only ones who handed in a video and it was a bit more ambitious than what the teacher was expecting.
All that to say that roto is still a usefull skill to have. :)
Oh, the sounds is back. Much obliged. Thank you.
Great info. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thanks for this great tutorial. For faster roto, Fusion offers some really powerful shortcuts to move selected points of the shape like s, x, y, (scale or move in x/y), t for twisting + mouse click/ drag or just hold option/alt and mouse click/drag for moving single points, which are near the mouse arrow. No selection of points needed here.
this is the best video I have ever seeing about Rotoscoping, i can't wait to see for part 2💖
I am always amazed to learn new things about stuff I have been doing for years. Great video, I'm looking forward to part 2.
The effort is crazy. Thank you sir
This is by far the best explained tutorial on this, thank you
Fantastic.
Great explanation and tutorial, keep teaching and sharing, you rock!
Wow great tutorial. Thanks! Yes I’d like to see more!!
Thank you very much
I've missed you so much! ❤
Amazing tutorial!
Informative
Hi! I'm in love with your content. I wanted to ask if you can expand on a couple of things. How would you organize the mask points if the sign was spinning? How to deal with parts that are not visible all the time (for example hands going behind the body or worse covered by some foreground objects). Also would you use tracking for other rotoscoping tasks? Thank you so much!
What do you think about magic masking? Is it the same thing and when would you use the planar tracking instead of magic masking?
It depends on your needs, really! And the needs of your client. Magic masking can do a lot when complete precision isn't required. For the VFX industry, having those actual roto shapes be available is often a requirement. When you rotoscope, you end up with mask that's more accurate as well as one that can be adjusted later as needed. So the real answer is, it depends on the level of accuracy that's needed for a project. Obviously roto like this can get expensive quickly, but sometimes a quick matte from magic masking is all that's needed. An example from this project is the hair. Magic masking and AE's rotobrush will almost never be able to be as precise on things like fine hair.
