I opted for Power Matte over the roto node to erase the background. Power Matte helps me precisely pick out and separate elements from an image or video. It's a tool that ensures accurate extraction or isolation of specific parts, making the process of removing the background more straightforward and precise.
In Power Matte, I employed various shapes to eliminate the background. The Power Matte node has a feature where I can specify what's the main part I want (foreground) and what's the extra part I want to eliminate (background). This helps the node distinguish between foreground and background, ensuring a clearer output.
After creating the shapes, I tracked their movements to ensure they're accurately positioned for rotoscopy. This tracking process helps maintain the proper alignment of the shapes throughout the sequence, making the rotoscoping work more effectively.
After tracking the shapes and setting foreground-background definitions, I applied a color node to differentiate the foreground. Connecting the color node to the Power Matte node in the top left corner, I switched the view mode to composite to see the final result. This helps visualize how well the Power Matte is isolating the desired elements from the background.
