After Effects 2023 Rotobrush not working

Sorry for the delayed response. Can you try the new version and see if you're still having issue with Roto Brush?

We're here to help. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,

@James Landy - So... it doesn't always do this but since upgrading to Rotobrush 2 it has been doing this more where I can't edit the brush strokes. Whatever. I am just going to have to live with it probably and just use masks in the footage that it doesn't work. There are several scenes where I am not time ramping or using any effects or anything like that, some scenes I can edit the brush strokes... some I can't for the same footage (but at different spots).  I am really surprised that this isn't something more people complain about. It doesn't always happen... like it seems like the first few brush strokes seem to do the job most of the time but sometimes it doesn't and I can't fix it (like it misses a finger or half of the hand and I can't add it back no matter how many times I go back over it).

I don't know how to post video clips. Do I screen record and then put it on youtube and then post the link here? Next time it happens I can record it. Thanks

The reason I’m requesting a screen recording is because I can’t reproduce what your describing in-house, and I’m not aware of any other users encountering the problem you're experiencing.  Watching a screen recording will help to determine if this is a user error or a bug.   

Please also provide what version of Ae your using along with system and hardware specs. And please let us know if issue occurs without using Dynamic Link in your workflow (i.e., Replace with Ae comp).

Thanks.

I'm sorry, what more information do you need? I don't think I need a recording session for this. This is pretty straightforward. 

a screen recording? I can if you really want, but I am not doing anything special.

 I can just explain it. It's really not that difficult. You are correct, correcting strokes are not showing.

It's really simple. I start in Premiere > Right click on the clip > Replace with After Effects Composition >

Now I am in After Effects. 

Double Click on video, select Rotoscope brush, drag the first stroke in the middle of the object, and the first stroke is fine. I don't need to correct for a few frames... Any corrections added after the first frame seems to add a Foreground stroke, but it does not register or effect the selection. The first selection is fine. That shows up but anything else does not. I have even tried to remake this project twice using the same steps. (there are the same clips where I tracked some screens and put a different video in it but that should not effect the layer as they are different layers).

My solution - 

Instead I just used a mask for the frames that didn't work. 

Per @James Landy's response, marking as Needs More Info.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble adding correction strokes to the selection area. 

If possible, please provide a screen recording of your workflow. After viewing session, I might have some suggestions on how to resolve issue.
