Silhouette Essentials Roto - 03A Planar Tracker [Boris FX rotoscoping]

This is the free version of Silhouette Essentials - Roto with Katie Morris, digital VFX artist and trainer. We are starting on a new shot of a mountain ridge. This is another example of hard edge roto, but presents new challenges in relation to the shots we have worked on up to now. We learn more about the different nodes available in Silhouette and how to add favorites.

To start on our first shape, we discover the Silhouette Planar Tracker and see the differences between this and the Mocha planar tracker. There are different Motion Models and Tracking Feature options, which we explore to see which combination gives us the best tracking data. Once the tracking is done, we add the final touches using the Brush Reshape tool.
