Bro this man doing good job
He needs more attention.

The thing is that these tools combined with a bit of traditional roto work for cleanup speed up roto work immensly. You just run your footage through the AI then use some masks and th elikes to do a bit of cleanup here and there. It's great!

One thing you should have also ttried is using Depth Maps in DaVinci Studio to isolate your subject ... sometimes that might work as well.

Yeh magic mask is better in finding edeges like it can even mask transparency but flickering thing is very annoying although we can tweak little bit but it needs improvement although about hair i think you should try in colour page because theare is personal mode or probably we can use colour picker to isolate hair finely

Great video. But in a production environment, I'd still have to go with Silhouette lol.

With Resolve. Turn down the Refine Range to like 10, it will take slightly longer but outputs even better rotos.

How long after effects and davinci resolve may take for rotoscoping 30 second video?

[RepeatRepeatPro]

I find the same, magic mask is better for simple quick stuff. Anything complex I find rotobrush has defo been more successful and easier to use.

Can fusion do everything after effects can?

[NaudVanDalen]

It's great and all, but I'm trying to use fusion in Davinci Resolve and it runs at a few frames per second without even placing anything in it. Why is it so much slower when it's literally just playing the same clip that plays fine in the edit mode? To be fair, my laptop is almost 10 years old, but they could have made their app literally 10 times faster. Even 100 times in certain circumstances, like drawing a few rectangles slows it down to a few fps even though my laptop can probably draw millions of rectangles.

After Effect should be ashamed of itself for 50 a month and still year after year can't do basic things well.
