Node icon
Mask

Interactive bezier spline rotoscoping. Draw precise mask shapes with curves, rectangles, and ellipses.

Roto provides interactive shape-based masking directly in the preview panel. Use the Pen tool to draw bezier splines for precise curved selections, or use Rectangle and Ellipse tools for quick geometric masks. Multiple shapes can be combined.

Auto-smooth mode automatically adds curve handles to pen points for smooth splines without manual handle adjustment.
