Sharing your Rotoscopes

[SJCorrectet]

I believe they're referring to the process of tracing along the outlines of a particular visual element in compositing software in order to "cut" it out and use it with other footage.

so yeah, masking.

that might be an example of a rotoscope in progress. the first google image result of "rotospline"

thats the impression I've picked up, anyway.

I'd only give it out if said editor puts a watermark on his amv with the text "Rotoscoping done by Shui" and of course, one has to pay per frame

It doesn't sound like a bad idea but can someone plz tell me what rotoscoping is? I hear it used on here all the time synonymously with masking but I wanted to know what's the difference? Does it have something to do with the software you are using?

rotoscoping is the process of tracing live action footage to create an animation. (It was used for orcs in LotR the animation if you were ever unlucky enough to see it)

When we do masking, it's basically the same thing, except we're masking instead of animating. However, masking could be anything, while rotoscoping implies tracing it. So people tend to say roto.

Thank You!
So when I spend hours upon hours tracing like 10 or 20 different frames of a character in order to put it together into less than a second of moving footage I am definitely rotoscroping
