SCENE 01 / ROTOSCOPING CLEANUP

Rotoscoping & Cleanup

Precision rotoscoping and invisible cleanup work that forms the foundation of seamless visual effects.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Rotoscoping and cleanup are frame-by-frame post-prod processes that isolate elements, remove unwanted objects, and prepare footage for compositing. Rotoscoping traces precise mattes around subjects for extraction, while cleanup removes wires, rigs, markers, and other artifacts visible in raw production footage.

Here is the short of it. We set up rotoscoping and cleanup work with VFX facilities skilled in detailed frame-by-frame processing. Our team manages shot turnover, quality reviews, and delivery schedules to make sure your footage is cleanly prepared for compositing or presented free of distracting production artifacts.

On Location

Vienna's VFX facilities deliver precision rotoscoping and cleanup — wire and rig removal, mattes and paint work — preparing footage for compositing on ORF drama and international co-productions.

Here is what we have to work with. We deliver rotoscoping and cleanup through Vienna's VFX facilities, giving the detailed frame-by-frame work that forms the foundation of seamless visual effects. Our team traces precise mattes for element extraction, removes wires, rigs, tracking markers and other production artefacts, and prepares plates so compositing can proceed cleanly.

Here is the layout. Artists work in industry-standard tools. Silhouette for detailed shape work, Nuke for compositing-integrated roto, and Mocha Pro for planar-tracking-helped mattes — and handle challenging elements including fine hair, fur, semi-transparent subjects and motion blur, matching blur direction and intensity to the source.

We manage shot turnover, run careful quality reviews at each stage, and scale the team to meet delivery schedules, returning footage cleanly prepared for the next stage of the VFX pipeline.

Here is how this works in practice. Austria's rotoscoping and cleanup skill sits within Vienna's post-prod cluster, where editing, grading, sound and VFX concentrate. The VFX sector serves ORF drama, the high-volume natural-history and factual content finished by Red Bull Media House and Terra Mater Studios, and global co-productions backed by the Österreichisches Filminstitut and its ÖFI+ and FISA+ rebates.

Here is the short of it. Roto and cleanup underpin each other VFX discipline — compositing, set extension and CG integration all depend on clean mattes and artefact-free plates — so Vienna's facilities build this work into a set up finishing pipeline. The Microsoft Azure 'Austria East' region, opened in Vienna in 2024, supports cloud-based VFX workflows with domestic data residency.

From precision mattes for character work to invisible cleanup on period and alpine shoots. Vienna's rotoscoping infrastructure pairs pixel-accurate craft with tight quality control.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What rotoscoping software do you use?

Here is the breakdown. We primarily use Silhouette, Nuke, and Mocha Pro for rotoscoping work. Each tool has strengths for different scenarios - Silhouette for detailed shape work, Nuke for integration with compositing, and Mocha for planar tracking-helped roto. We select the best tool for each shot.

How do you handle motion blur in roto?

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Motion blur needs careful attention to keep natural-looking edges. We match blur direction and intensity to the source footage, using specialized edge treatments and multi-frame techniques. The goal is seamless integration where the roto edges are invisible in the final composite.

Can you work with difficult elements like hair?

Here is how the picture comes together. Yes, we specialize in challenging roto including fine hair, fur, and semi-transparent elements. We use techniques including core mattes with soft edges, multi-channel keying help, and detailed hand work to achieve clean results that preserve natural edge detail.

What's your typical turnaround for roto work?

Turnaround depends on shot complexity and volume. Simple roto might be completed in hours per shot, while complex character work with hair and motion blur needs more time. We give detailed estimates based on shot breakdowns and can scale our team to meet deadlines.

Productions in Austria that need this often pair it with Visual Effects Compositing, CGI & 3D Animation Services, and Motion Graphics Services for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Virtual Reality Filming and Digital Cinema Package (DCP).
