Masking moving characters

[Magnus]

Masking is the best option by far. Masking anime is easier then baking a cake so it shouldn't to too hard.

Yeah, listen to Mr. I-roto-rain

It depends what version of Vegas you're using really. If you use Movie Studio then you'd have to use a picture editing program to paint out the background of each individual frame. It takes a lot of patience.

Yes, you have to mask them each frame, it can be a tedious process. some editors will do it in vegas or in Photoshop. I for one set aside times to do my masking segments and kinda just listen to music while I do it...but I don't mask often.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a beginner at Vegas, but if you're masking in Photoshop, you can't mask a moving image? Does that mean you must import every frame of a video and mask it in Photoshop? Please explain in further detail

if you cant use the pentool in vegas to mask, then you must export everyframe of the video and edit it. But i think you should check which frames have movements in the video. some are the same as the pic befor, so one less pic to edit.
