A patient order that beats brute-forcing every frame. Worth a look:
—
Keyframe-extremes-first method: roto the turn points, let it interpolate — via Surfaced Studio [tutorial]
—
Roto-Brush propagation checklist before manual cleanup — via After Effects docs [tutorial]
—
Refine-edge for hair, hard mask for the body — split the matte — via Ben Marriott [tutorial]
—
Free matte-chatter fix: blur + erode the alpha 1-2px — via Ukramedia notes [free]
—
Motion-blur-on-the-matte step so cuts don't look pasted — via ActionVFX [tutorial]
Roto in chunks of 10-15 frames; correcting drift is faster than redoing.
