    for pc users:
    1:28 command = ctrl (also i meant left click not right sorry)
    1:41 option/alt = just alt
    command + z = ctrl + z

      on pc 1:28 is holding down the left click + ctrl+ dragging up/down the mouse
      1:41 holding alt for the eraser and ctrl+z to revert changes

    Tysm this was the best rotobrush tutorial I’ve seen. You fully explained the fact it needs to be the same rate as the comp, and that you can use it after applying twixtor, as long as you double click WHILST using the tool. These were not mentioned by others so I had had trouble using the tool but this clears it up for me! TysmXx

    • @starknstrange
      @starknstrange  3 года назад

      @@chloevlogs6585 Please look over the video again and follow all of the steps. The reason why I pre-compose my clips like I do in this video is to avoid this problem because ou need to make your rotobrush mask in a composition where the frame rate is exactly the same as the original clip’s frame rate, not the frame rate of your main composition. I’m pretty sure I do explain this at some point so I’d suggest just going over the video again and carefully reading all of the text and making sure you don’t miss any of the steps I show you :)

      No, rotobrush is supposed to help with masking moving clips a little easier. You’ll probably just have to spend more time on the mask than you would if you had masked a clip with minimal movement

    I'm still confused why did you pre composed three times.
    I understand that the first one had the slo mo effect, but couldn't you work on the second precom with the other stuff. ¿Why did you created a third one?

    • @starknstrange
      @starknstrange  5 лет назад

      as I stated in the video, roto brush needs to be in a composition with the same frame rate as the original clip. since my main edit composition was set at 30 frames and the clip was around 23.976 frames, it wouldn't have worked. by pre-comping it a third time, the composition would automatically change the frame rate to the original clip so then I could use roto brush (and you can't do masks with twixtor on the same clip)

    • @rosembergomezs.9272
      @rosembergomezs.9272 5 лет назад

      starknstrange yeah I still don't get it, since the way I see it, you already precompose it a not just once but three , you are already working on a different composition rather than a the main one so I still no see the reason on pre compose it more than once (I mean I understand why are doing it, but not why multiple times)
      Thanks for responding though.
