VFX Tips & Tricks - What is Rotoscoping?

In this quick video I want to talk about Rotoscoping - what it is, why it is so important and why you want to do everything you can to avoid ever having to do it.

If you have After Effects CS5, I recommend using the Roto Brush tool for your rotoscoping work.

I have a tutorial for the Roto Brush tool here:

You can also use advanced trackers such as Mocha (and Mocha AE) for rotoscoping.

I am currently creating a tutorial series for Mocha that you can find here:

All questions, comment and feedback welcome :)
