Spend less time tracing frames. Put more time into the edit.

Automated matting handles the routine edge work and returns transparent files your artists can take straight into the composite.

Rotoscoping is the line item nobody wants

It is slow, it is unglamorous, and it is billed at a rate the client questions. On a tight delivery it becomes the reason the edit slips. Automated matting handles the bulk of routine edge work and gives artists a strong production starting point, so the hours go into the shots that need judgement.

How this runs in practice

Prepare the selects

Send the shots that need a clean edge and collect the transparent results for the edit.

Hand off transparent files

Prepare transparent source files for client edits, campaign variants, and compositing handoffs.

Refine only what needs it.

Move the transparent result into your compositing workflow, review hero shots and anything with objects passing in front of the subject, and spend manual time only where the edge needs extra attention.

What to expect on this kind of footage

These notes show where BGRemove works well and where footage may need extra review.

Clip length

60 seconds

Longer pieces are cut into scenes first, which produces a better matte regardless.

Delivery format

WebM VP9 with alpha

Alpha preserved and dimensions unchanged, so it drops into a timeline as a layer.

Retention

24 hours

Download what you need for the edit; the source and the result are removed after that.

Worth knowing.Automated matting handles the bulk of routine edge work and gives artists a strong production starting point. Review hero shots and anything with objects passing in front of the subject in your compositing tool, then refine only the frames that need it.
