Mixinglight – Expert Tips For Rotoscoping in DaVinci Resolve Fusion

Rotoscoping is the fundamental method for creating pixel-accurate masks that animate over time. Rotoscoping can be time-consuming and tedious, but it gives you a robust solution when other techniques fail. 3D Keyer, Magic Mask, and HSL keys can help us avoid rotoscoping, but sometimes they are not accurate enough or need so much tweaking that the manual route is faster.

By the end of this Insight, you should understand how to:

• Efficiently use roto shapes in Fusion
• Use bounding boxes and keyboard shortcuts to manipulate roto points to keep animation consistent.
• Break up a complex movement into simple shapes that can be animated quickly and efficiently to save you time and energy
• Activate Motion Blur and how to control it
• Retire shapes that are needed temporarily
