Silhouette Roto
Silhouette FX has released , available now as a plug-in for Adobe After Effects. The plug-in is also compatible with Apple's Final Cut Pro. Rotoscoping (roto) is the process of manually extracting or isolating a portion of an image. It is one of the most fundamental tasks in visual effects. Beziers and b-splines are provided along with flexible and easy-to-use tools for drawing, reshaping, and transforming shapes. Shapes can be rotated, scaled, skewed / sheared, moved and corner pinned in a single mouse click. Silhouette Roto offers a multi-frame editing mode that ripples changes across a user definable range of keyframes. The plug-in version supports 8- and 16-bit depths. Silhouette Roto is for $400 as a plug-in, and $600 as a standalone application.
