Automated Scene Masking

he use of an AI-driven tool to automatically generate a matte that isolates a subject from its background, effectively performing rotoscoping with a single click. Integrated into NLEs like Final Cut Pro for iPad ('Scene Removal Mask'), this technique dramatically lowers the barrier to compositing tasks. It allows an editor to quickly place subjects in new environments, apply effects to only the background, or create clean plates without manual, frame-by-frame tracing.
