Struggling to get clean results with Roto Brush in After Effects? This simple trick makes a huge difference.

In this quick tutorial, I show how I prep footage before using Roto Brush to get cleaner edges, less chatter, and better overall results.

By removing grain, boosting contrast, and improving edge definition, you give Roto Brush a much better starting point.

It’s a small step I use pretty much every time, and it consistently helps improve the result.

In this tutorial I cover:

  • Removing grain before roto
  • Using Levels/Curves to separate the subject
  • Improving edge detail for cleaner masks
  • A simple workflow for better Roto Brush results

As always, the idea behind these tutorials is to keep things quick and practical so you can get the information you need and get on with your day.
