how to edit a Rotobrushed layer AFTER adding Effects Controls

Explorer ,
Sep 23, 2025 Sep 23, 2025

Good afternoon.

 

What is the proper way to edit a Rotobrushed layer after Effects Controls have been added?  With Effects Controls turned on, the mask line is warped to accommodate the effects and using the brush seems strange.  With Effect Controls reset,  the mask is a straight line again but seems to have migrated from its original position.  What happens is this:  After rotobrushing a layer, I turn on the Effects Controls, review my work, make a list of changes, then reset Effect Controls to begin editing; but my mask seems to have jumped around and I have to go through the review process again.

 

Just looking for a work flow that makes sense.  Thanks so much.

Thanks, Kevin.  

I did see this tutorial some time ago.  It's excellent but doesn't quite address my problem.  I'm coming to the conclusion that I shouldn't add Rotobrush Effect Controls until all the editing is complete.  I will review this tutorial a few times though to see if I'm missing a step. 

 

Thanks for your help!
