Archive notice: This article covers a June 2020 preview of Roto Brush 2.0. The feature has since moved beyond its original beta context.
Adobe previewed Roto Brush 2.0 for After Effects, using Sensei machine learning to improve automated rotoscoping speed and edge propagation.
Occlusion handling
The demonstration showed the brush following a selected subject and recovering when foreground objects temporarily obscured it. The same Sensei platform also supported Content-Aware Fill workflows in After Effects.
Beta availability
No final release date accompanied the preview; Adobe planned to distribute the feature through its public beta programme. Artists should test edge detail, occlusion recovery, temporal stability and render time on representative plates before production use.
