Rotobrushing 101 🖌️

I remember first opening up #aftereffects and it felt so intimidating to use. I felt like tutorials on YouTube would be so dragged out for no reason. Its legit 4 steps and takes a minute to do. Hope this helps somebody out.

Steps 👇

#1 Duplicate the layer you want to rotobrush, double click the top layer.

#2 Select rotobrush tool. Draw the subject you're trying to seperate from the BG. Ctrl+ left mouse click to subtract selection.

#3 Select Refine Edge tool (click and hold on the rotobrush to get a dropdown menu.) Pain around edges that you want to be "refined"/payed closer attention too.

#4 Go back to your composition, add in your text or graphic layer and slide it between the two layers you created earlier.. And that's it.
