Learning Objective
I can create a rotoscoped animation in Photoshop by tracing over film frames.
- 1
Rotoscoping is an animation technique that involves tracing over actual film to create realistic-looking animations.
- 2
In Photoshop, rotoscoping involves importing a video file, reducing the frame rate to a manageable level (like 12 frames per second), and creating video layers to draw on.
- 3
After tracing each frame, the original video layer can be hidden or removed, leaving only the animated sequence, which can then be exported as a video.
