After Effects 17.5
Adobe After Effects 17.5 promoted Roto Brush 2 from beta and introduced a new 3D Design Space.
Roto Brush 2
Roto Brush 2 helps isolate foreground objects from video backgrounds. Adobe Sensei machine learning was used to generate masks more quickly and accurately than the previous workflow.
3D Design Space
The updated 3D workspace added transform gizmos for moving, rotating and scaling layers in three-dimensional space. Camera controls were expanded with orbit, pan and dolly options. Adobe positioned the workflow primarily for motion designers rather than full visual-effects production.
Further Information
Adobe documented the release in its After Effects release notes. Digital Production’s Roto Brush 2 beta coverage offers additional context.
