Is Rotobrush FINALLY Good Enough?

I test the rotoscoping capabilities of Rotobrush 3.0 in the new After Effects beta and then compare it's performance with rotobrush 2 and rotobrush classic. Can I burn my greenscreen yet?

Greenscreen isn't going anytime soon unless some crazy A.I comes out that has some kind of general intelligence, and can identify what's semi-transparent hair and what's not. After Effects unfortunately is not the best tool for keying because the keymix workflow doesn't offer a lot of control, as well as getting into detailed edge fixes. A complex detailed key on feature film can involve mixing together 20-30 keys together. Nuke is still the way to go!

Clever Spin on this Update... I'm more impressed on how well you scripted this content. You presented a simple improvement update and made it entertaining to watch. That's Content Creation at its best! Thanks for posting!

straight to the point and entertaining - keep up the great work Joshua! I'll def. give that new 3.0 a splin whenever I get the chance 👌

When can we use it in the app (instead of beta version)?

The best background removing to me is still the Delta Keyer in Davinci Resolve Fusion page, with additional, but very important plugin that makes Lightwrap effect. Trying to figure it out if there`s something similar inside UE

damn you're too kind and polite, I like that cuz it's rare to see such people these days, keep it up buddy!

What is better / most used currently rotobrush 3 or runway?

[jimmwagner]

The fire pit cuts were funny, nice work.

[dat_Rasta]

LMAOOOO seeing that match get lit is so funny everytime

[LightoftheSpirit]

Great video, entertaining as well as informative.
For those not wishing to learn After Effects, is Rotobrush or a similar function coming to Premiere Pro?

[MoJo-ge]

Great InfoTainment

Keep it up Josh

oh wow didn't even know it was out and it looks very impressive already

"Can I burn my greenscreen?" he says. You shot this footage on green screen. I'd like to see how it manages with a regular background. All you've done is do what keylight is perfectly capable of.

I had to rewind it twice to hear you say "BAY-Tuh" instead of "BEET-uh" -- Amazing! You seem to have a British accent to me, and unless you live here in the US as an ex-pat or dual-citizen, you seem to pronounce "beta" the same way we Americans do. I'm flabbergasted ;-) -- btw good video, that ai-powered roto stuff is getting good (assuming it's AI enhanced)

I haven't tested it yet.
Can you rotoscope more than 60 frames ? rotobrush 2 was limited to 60 frames, impossible to roto on sequences of 10 or 15 seconds without the tools loading from zero as soon as we exceed 60 frames.

I tested on my side, Rotobrush 3.0 on After Effects and Magic Mask on Davinci Resolve
After effects complated same work in 6.5 minutes and had to cache same clip for 2.5 minutes to watch. 9 Minutes total.
Davinci Resolve complated it in 6 seconds. Instant playback

When we ignore waiting time and watching for results: After effects is far behind from Davinci. Adobe is just.. doesn't work anymore

I mean, it looks good in AE, I tried it with some footage from a TV show I'm working on. I'm a compositor. Trying to bring a nice alpha from it into nuke is a nightmare!

[alexvaulin]

Someday AE will work like a magic mask in Davinci Resolve..someday
