About this service

Rotoscoping: what it involves

Rotoscoping uses animated masks or shapes to separate areas of a shot. The work depends heavily on edge detail, motion, hair, blur and subjects crossing one another.

Choose the right service

When this service makes sense

  • Post-production teams requesting mattes or object isolation
  • Shot cleanup workflows requiring carefully defined subject edges
  • Editors needing consistent masks across frames

Rotoscoping separates subjects or regions over time. Confirm frame count, shot complexity, edge detail and handoff format for a meaningful quote.

A better brief

What to send for an accurate quote

Clear requirements help avoid unnecessary revision cycles and make the proposed delivery easier to evaluate.

  • Source plates, frame rate and resolution
  • Shot list and selection instructions
  • Matte output requirements and deadline
Our approach

From brief to finished files

  1. Inspect shot complexity and overlaps
  2. Agree roto areas and output specifications
  3. Create, track and refine masks
  4. Review difficult frames and export handoff
Pricing and planning

What affects the project quotation?

Pricing is primarily affected by shot duration, motion blur, hair detail, overlap and required matte accuracy.

No fixed prices or guaranteed delivery dates are quoted on this page. Discuss the exact scope to receive relevant details.

Common questions

Rotoscoping FAQs

Why does rotoscoping cost vary by shot?

A short shot with many overlapping objects can require more detailed work than a longer shot with simple shapes.

What should be in a rotoscoping brief?

Share representative frames, frame rate, duration, target matte and the intended compositing workflow.
