Good evening, design friends!
I'm excited to share my experience using the Roto Brush tool in After Effects! It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. I started by importing my footage and double clicking it in the Project panel to open it in the Layer panel next to my composition.
Then, I selected the Roto Brush tool and painted over the subject I wanted to isolate ( in this case, I aimed to separate her from the background.)
To adjust the brush size, I held down the Command key and dragged in or out (or used the mouse wheel if available). After making the selection, I zoomed in to refine the edges. Holding down the Option key let me subtract areas from the selection, and letting go added more. Once it looked good, I hit Spacebar to preview and Freeze to lock in the selection.
After that, I went back to my composition panel, duplicated the Roto Brush layer with Command+D, and deleted the Roto Brush effect from the bottom copy. Then, I created a new text layer, placed it between the two video layers, and animated it to move across the screen from behind the subject.
I also changed the typeface and color of the text to match the feel of the scene.
That’s how it turned out! I’d love to hear what you all think! feedback is always welcome!
Here is the link I used for my tutorial!
