How to rotoscope/color mask two colors on a person?

Hi JamieT,

Did you ever complete your roto effect? Please let us know if our experts’ advice helped you or if you still need help.

It sounds like you have two different things to deal with.

1.  Rotoscoping one or the other from the scene, which I'd guess is easiest to do the guitar.

2.  Recoloring the different layers (easiest).

First, duplicate the footage, place the main one below, lock it.

Select top layer (second copy), and begin the roto.

Not sure how long you are talking about but obviously, the longer and more movement, the more difficult it will be.  I'd also expect that you'd have to take your time to work around where the hands meet the guitar.  I'd either roto the guitar out or just a mask may be sufficient depending on the footage.

If this is a stylized look you are going after, then how meticulous you get (or not) may give you more flexibility.  What I mean is, you may be ok with a widened, softened mask to where one color bleeds over to the other a little bit, etc.

Past that, using any number of the colorization tools, you can adjust the color.
