The Silhouette features the world’s most sophisticated tools for rotoscoping teams. Create sophisticated keyframeable mattes using B-Spline,
Bézier, or X-Spline shapes. Intelligent design and easy-to-use tools, such as uneven per-point edge softening, assist in creating articulate
animations. Render mattes with realistic motion blur or export to industry-standard shape formats. Watch Intro to Roto
The powerful ZMatte and Power Matte nodes use proprietary matte extraction techniques that handle the most difficult
keying and matting challenges, including shots with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections.
