honestly I rarely comment but this kind of videos are just pure magic, they help me a lot to understand as a beginner I am, if you keep doing it I would really appreciate, but if you don't I understand ;)
@@edupuertasfruns completely! I do other kinds of editing and I love how my and your work is so similar! Though yours is so much more rewarding. Thanks for sharing!
It's funny because when I started to consider going into stop motion I was like "ok what is the best process for removing the rigs ?" and I used to analyze the making-of videos from Kenta/Animist showing some editing parts, accelerated, but as he's not speaking in them and all his softwares are in japanese I took some time to translate all the info displayed. That said, I can confirm that you just posted the only one video explaining the After Effects rig removal process from A to Z on RUclips, with pro tips about the rigs, set & shooting, so, thank you so much for this, the newcomers & beginners will be helped, for sure ! Your channel is the gem for the stop motion community
Man! I can't say how much you help me! I'm doing stopmotion graduation project and your videos are if not only stopmotion education videos in internet then the best! Just REALLY thank you!
I dabble in stop motion from time to time. I never thought to take a clean plate at the end of the project in addition to the one I take at the beginning, so that nugget of information alone was incredibly valuable. Thank you for this and all your videos. I appreciate the effort and education.
All the cleaning of rigs, compositing, editing, colour correction can be done in Resolve, it's free so no need to pay for Adobe products. And if you want to pay for Resolve, it's a 1 time licence at a decent price that gives you access to updates forever.
I like the idea, just learned all this on specific softwares and to me Resolve is kind a dificult to master, but appart from that it is a supe powerful tool
@@edupuertasfruns Like any software you just need time and motivation to learn, I have been using Resolve and Fusion for years, before using it I was coming from Final Cut Pro and Motion. I learned the hard way because there was not much in term of tutorials back then, but there is more and more resources about using Resolve. It took me a few months to get around using it. Casey Faris, JayAreTV, Patrick Stirling,Ripple Training are some of the best tutorial makers for learning basic stuff, Casey Faris and Ripple Training have paid courses that offer very good quality.
I honestly don’t have anything to do with stop motion, but I am really inspired by the amount of all the hard work that goes into it and time it takes to make a few seconds clip, it’s truly amazing - these videos really motivate me to do my work properly and diligently, thank you so much for sharing and great work as always.
well, it is completely diferent, and on after you can control the interaction between frames, a lot of times you make a stroke with the stamp and in the next frame it does not match the one you just made. In photoshop you cannot control it playing nicely.
Omg i was just about to start post production of a short film im making and i honestly was gonna do it without even looking into how to properly do it.... thanks for saving me man.... great video as always!!!
I think some people use green tape to cover the end of their rig where it meets the puppet. Then they key out the green as a starting point for rig removal in post production.
Me encanta! Siempre quise saber como lo hacen otros. En mi caso los borro en photoshop y luego lo exporto a premiere, después es lo mismo. Aunque hace poco descubrí todo lo de atomatizar acciones en photoshop e incluir la herramienta "seleccionar sujeto" que permite hacer la limpieza más rápido. Lo malo en mi caso es que hay que explotar cuadro por cuadro cada vez, y es mucho tiempo perdido, así que la próxima voy a probar tu técnica! Muchísimas muchísimas gracias!!
Have you ever tried using z-depth to eliminate rigging? In 3D animation, of course, you get this layer for free. With stop-motion, you'd have to use a stereo camera or perhaps LIDAR.
Me encantan estos vídeos. Muchas gracias por compartir todos tus conocimientos. Si me permites realizar una petición, sería genial si le pudieras dedicar un vídeo a dragonframe. 😊 Muchas gracias por todo
Great video, to be honest, Davinci can do great film editing and color grading. After Effects is a software on to itself that would be amazing to get an alternative. Also, more of these would be great!
I really appreciate your hard work and love to your job , you were the first to introduce the world of animation to me I like your videos keep up the good work 👍🏼
Really cool video and previous ones…. I took your advice on lenses … also I’d like to mention stop motion pro software … I’m not sponsored by them… but they have a great inbuilt tool to remove rigs … really easy to use… and if you can’t afford Adobe monthly fee and want it all in one package ….. it does what dragonframe does … good for pc user ..
No conocia las herramientas "Borrar" y tampón de clonar en AE, sabia que estaban en photoshop, pero no aquí, la verdad es que me parecen unos consejos super útiles. Muchas gracias por compartirlos!
Thank you very much for the tutorial, really clear and precise 👍 Question of a noob: Why not cover the arm rig with "green" colour before the shot, would it not be easier to edit out like we see the backgrounds and objects in the movies?
For single pictures sure, but I would use other software than Photoshop, not a fan of software as a service with monthly fees. For image sequences I prefer to use VFX software.
I have always done it in photoshop, It's basically the same tools. But I think doing it in After effects must be saving your originals frames, and take less space in you hard drive... clever, I will definetly give it a try !
This is really useful information!!! Stop motion is an asinine amount of work, so kudos to this! lastly, what is the song you where using in the beginning of the video called? around 1: 35
1) your channel is AMAZING! 2) I have a question about rig removal. The tecnique you use is perfectly clear, but how can i do it if I'm planning to move the camera? Should I find a way to make the exact same movement without the puppet and with the puppet on scene? Or is there a more clever way to do it?
You have some options, remove and place again the puppet each frame, get a motion control system to move the camera automated so you can repeat the move after without the puppet, or you regenerate the picture in postproduction using nearby pixels
This so good! My only problem is that I use Final Cut Pro and I don't have After Effects. I'm wondering if I can get the same type of masking and eraser tools in Final Cut. I guess I will find out! 😁Thank you so much for this tutorial Edu!!
I think your videos are excellent. What size puppets do you find the more versatile? Big enough for barbie closed or smaller so there is less studio area required?
Congratulations for the video, I would like to know how you cover the holes you make to fix the puppets' feet so they don't appear in the following scenes.
This video was not good, was excelent. I made and uploaded a stop motion animation in youtube, and this was my process: 1. Make the animation with the puppet and rig 2. Eliminate the rig and other "continuity errors" in Photoshop. I must add that I commited too many errors, mainly by flickers and shadows, so I edited every single photo, that took like 2 months 3. Put the photos in Premiere and accommodate them, cut parts, etc 4. Add some little effects, color corrections and Audio effects 5. Export Now I know how to attenuate or even avoid some errors thanks to you
I appreciate it, there are some things I do to speed the process that didn't explain to not complicate the video. Photos hop is great for single pictures but you can't control flickering
Hello. First, your work is fantastic. I would like to ask you for advice. What ist better dragonframe or filmora for stop motion animation with clay figurs? Thx Greetings from Vienna.
@@edupuertasfruns sorry, I would have one more question. I bought dragonframe and which editing software would you recommend ? Filmora or other one? Because I would like to join two dragonframe shoots videos in one video and mit imovie is it not possible. thanks a lot. Silvia
When you use tie downs lets say for a walk, how do you hide the holes, do you take a back plate, then drill all your holes in the floor for the walk, and then remove them like when you remove the rig in post production?
Muchas gracias por compartir tu proceso. Mi pregunta es. Si tienes una escena que incluye diferentes ángulos de camera. Cual es to procesó de decisión para grabar la escena. En que momento decides mover la cámara para tomar los medium y closeup?
I have a question. Whenever I try to use the eraser tool, the area that was erased stays for the rest of the footage. How were you able to erase a new area of a frame without it carrying over to the next frame?
Muy bueno Edu....me pregunto cuanto mas a menos cobran en el mundo de freelancer para hacer este tipo de trabajo? Tienes una idea? Tu hacer tu propio "rig removal" o tienes tu persona(s) especializada en eso? gracias.
si es moviment mecanic, es pot repetir el moviment de camara i fer un passe de decorat sense personatge, si es manual no hi ha altre forma que fer servir el tampó de clonar
Hello. What tool are you using to erase the rig so that you see the blank plate without the characters, did you have to erase the background on the footage with the characters to get the alpha channel
I am working with on a project where there are 4 shots with background forground and pupple and stuff..and a clean plate. but the guy who shot it.. alll of the footage is slitciy does not match.. is there way to deal with that? can u just tell after effects to track it so it will auto match all of the footage?

I have finally mastered masking my rigs right in DaVinci Resolve 👍
Please make a tutorial :D
I always have so many mistake when clean footage, shadows and more, just learn from my previous mistake,
thanks for your more detail tutorial...
yes, the best way to learn is when you make a mistake that makes you stay hours in the computer to solve it, jaja
this was very informative to me, and I appreciate the time you spent to make it. 👍
My pleasure! It was a video that so many people asked me to do
I was resisting the urge to learn AE as I use Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve but now I have to master AE haha. 👍

@@edupuertasfruns I agree, you can see the edits from the mask if you look close enough because of Photoshop and it takes forever frame by frame.
Great video! Thank you, I was just using masking. And photoshop before.
Now it is your oportunity to try the other tools
Thank you. This video is very concise and informative. Oerfect for where my skill level is at right now.
Omg thank you so much! I was using premiere pro to get rid of my rigs, but I feel like this is less time consuming for sure!
Fascinating! You make things easier to understand how it all works. Great job!!!
Thanks Lucy, that is the idea I work on but not always get it🤣

I think some people use green tape to cover the end of their rig where it meets the puppet. Then they key out the green as a starting point for rig removal in post production.
Yes you are right, it is handy if you also have the background green. I don't like the green spill of it to the puppet
@@edupuertasfruns yes that's would probably be a big draw back of that method if the green tape or paper reflects its colour on other surfaces.
Watching your videos always inspires me
Thanks😀

For single pictures sure, but I would use other software than Photoshop, not a fan of software as a service with monthly fees.
For image sequences I prefer to use VFX software.
I use Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve together. After Effects sounds like a level up from Photoshop! I will have to check out AE.

It really is a good theme for a video
@@edupuertasfruns pls do a "how to mask stop motion video with moving background" I really hope you can do it for me, I need that tutorial so bad
Edu, suposo que ja ho heu intentat, però no es podrien pintar els rigs en "verd chroma" per automatitzar-ho més a la postpro?
Hola, això te tot el sentit si estàs rodant amb un fons chroma. Amb decorats no m'agrada perquè el verd contamina. Però és una decisió personal
Great, I just would like to know why you suggest Adobe after effects instead of the fusion page in DaVinci Resolve?
Hello.
First, your work is fantastic.
I would like to ask you for advice. What ist better dragonframe or filmora for stop motion animation with clay figurs? Thx

I have a question. Whenever I try to use the eraser tool, the area that was erased stays for the rest of the footage. How were you able to erase a new area of a frame without it carrying over to the next frame?

interesante video, que tal si cubres los rigs con pantalla verde (chroma).
I am working with on a project where there are 4 shots with background forground and pupple and stuff..and a clean plate. but the guy who shot it.. alll of the footage is slitciy does not match.. is there way to deal with that? can u just tell after effects to track it so it will auto match all of the footage?
can you do a tutorial but for people who don't have Ae please
It is hard to find other softwares doing the same...in less mesure you can do it using stop motion studio. Should show it one day
When are you gonna make more videos
Thanks for pushing me... Soon
Do you use another software to take photo of the background? or using the dragonframe to take photo for you?( I mean the background) Thanks
We use dragonframe to get the plates of the background
