Rotoscoping is the process of manually removing a portion of an image in a clip, without using a green screen. In this tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you how to remove the background of an image – in this case, a cement wall – quickly and easily by combining the compositing power of Final Cut Pro 6 or 7 with the ability to manipulate pixels using Photoshop CS3 or CS4 Extended.
As part of this demo, you’ll learn how to use the Quick Selection (in CS4 only) tool and how to export video from Photoshop so that you retain the alpha channel (transparency data) when you bring it into Final Cut Pro.
Note: This tutorial can be used by any version of Final Cut Pro, but editing video requires the extended version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4.
