Leading a list of major improvements and innovations is an entirely stereoscopic workflow. All capabilities of Silhouette including its award winning roto and paint as well as its keying,
Power Matte, effects and compositing features are stereo enabled. EXR integrated stereo footage can be used as well as media in any of Silhouette´s newly expanded range of file formats. Clips can be previewed as anaglyphs, side-by-side or stacked.
Roto
Silhouette allows you to quickly create sophisticated animated mattes using BSpline, Bézier or X-Spline shapes. Intelligent design and easy-to-use tools, such as variable edge softness on a point by point basis and realistic motion blur, assist you in creating complicated shape animations. Integrated motion tracking makes the normally tedious task of rotoscoping a breeze.
Roto Features
- Unlimited number of animated B-spline, X-Spline or Bézier shapes
- Stereoscopic rotoscoping workflow and tools
- Integrated Motion Tracker that can apply motion data to points or shapes
- Planar tracker provides automatic, markerless motion analysis and tracking
- Support for open or closed shapes
- Move, scale, rotate, shear, and corner pin shapes and groups of shapes
- Point-by-Point variable edge softness
- Realistic motion blur
- Animation changes for one point or selected points across all keyframes
- Independent shape viewing and hiding
- User-definable names, colors, blurs and blend modes for each shape
- Preview shape animation over image
- Shape import and export
- Composite preview and rendering
- Support for video fields and 3:2 Pulldown
Paint
Paint is a high dynamic range 2D raster-based paint system designed from the ground up to handle the demands of feature film and television production. Whether it´s image restoration, dustbusting, wire and rig removal or just plain paint, Silhouette provides simple and sensible tools to get the job done.
Paint Features
- Innovative non-destructive raster paint allows rotoscoping and keying changes without having to re-paint
- Paint on both stereo images simultaneously using an adjustable interocular offset
- Black and White, Blemish, Blur, Clone, Color, Color Correct, Drag, Eraser, Grain, Mosaic, Repair and Scatter brushes
- Stereoscopic paint workflow and tools
- Sophisticated cloning interface
- Motion track, position, scale, rotate and corner pin Clone sources
- Onion-Skin and Align tools to match up elements
- High dynamic range painting in Float, 16 bit and 8 bit
Effects
The Effects node allows you to apply the brushes available in the Paint node as filter effects to shapes or layers. Paint and shape features are tightly integrated to form an extremely powerful shape based effects tool. Not only can filters be animated, but they can be combined with animated shapes to take the drudgery out of everyday jobs.
Effects Features
- Black and White, Blemish, Blur, Color, Color Correct, Grain, Mosaic, Scatter and Scratch filters
- Assign filters to shapes and layers
- Animateable filter parameters
Keying
Using proprietary matte extraction techniques, Silhouette’s Keyer and Power Matte modules are capable of extracting almost any object in an image quickly and simply even if you are dealing with fine hair detail, smoke, or reflections. They are easy to use, yet provide the needed tools when faced with good, bad, or ugly shots.
