- Price
- From $1.50 per frame
- Free trial
- A 30-second cut from your own footage, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
Close-up footage of faces, the features to trace and the effect planned such as beauty work or face replacement.
What you get back
Frame-by-frame roto of eyes, lips, brows and jawline following every expression, prepared for retouching, replacement or stylized effects.
What to check before you sign off
Check the eyes, mouth and jaw edges while the person is speaking. Facial roto must follow subtle movement precisely or the effect looks pasted.
