RotoMasking in SynthEyes 2210
In toto: According to cgchannel.com, the new curve-based colour correction tool also has animated control points. Roto masking has been improved to the extent that it is now possible to move and rotate rotosplines as a unit or to move several rotospline control points at the same time. In the video above, Russ Andersson shows how roto masking works with SynthEyes 22.10. Furthermore, it is now possible to display a checkerboard pattern. This shows which pixels have been assigned to the current active tracker host by the auto-tracker. The option of superimposing the checkerboard pattern on the view is intended to allow the current setup to be checked. Quality of Life improvements include, for example, a new eyedropper tool that can be used to select the colour for keying.
