I know what you're thinking: "Weren't you just telling me about this other great automated roto tool?" The point is that no tool does everything. Read that again, because this may be the biggest feature in After Effects CS5 that almost no one has discovered: Mocha AE can track a shape around an object over time, and you can copy that shape and paste it into a layer's Mask Shape, with keyframe data, right in the Timeline. Even better, you can simply copy that shape from Mocha AE and paste it into After Effects as a mask. ![]() You can track anything procedurally (not just a plane, for example, but say an arm, a head, or that other type of planean airplane) and use the shape that's tracked around it in After Effects, instead of just the tracking data.
