Whether you are isolating a talking head for a YouTube thumbnail, extracting a product for a commercial, or cutting out hair for a cinematic composite, the process has traditionally been tedious. While Adobe has introduced "Roto Brush 3" and Content-Aware Fill, the community always hungers for specialized third-party innovation.
After purchasing via AEScripts (compatible with Adobe After Effects 2023+), you’ll find Mask Prompter v1.0.0 in the Window > Extensions menu.
