Roto/comp artists: where do tracking tools fall apart the hardest?
Hey r/vfx,
Curious how others experience this in real production work.
In roto/comp tasks, I keep seeing automation work until occlusion, motion blur, or overlapping elements show up — then it’s a lot of manual cleanup and babysitting.
For people doing this regularly:
• What situations cause the most pain or rework?
• Does tracking usually save you time overall, or just move where the work happens?
• What kinds of failures are the most annoying to fix?
Interested in hearing real-world experiences rather than demo-perfect cases.

Makin the switch end of year... Which linux is best for VFX?
Friend! This year I'm saving up for a new computer, and seeing as Windows 11 is trash at best, I'm finally taking the plunge into Linux land. I figure if I only install it on my new computer, it'll force me to finally just deal with the learning curve, and I'll keep my old computer ready to go for any emergencies during the transition period. That said, anyone have any suggestions for a middle ground between new linux user, and linux os capable of minimal fuckery to get VFX apps working?
I primarily use: Houdini, Blender, Davinci Resolve, Blackmagic Fusion, Affinity suite (fuck adobeeeee, premiere/AE when client requests it (ewwwww), Parsec when traveling, and occasionally other bits and bobs like Embergen.
Any thoughts on where to start my research?

Roto - After Effects Rotobrush vs. Mocha Object Brush
I tend to use Rotobrush for a lot of my roto needs. It works very well for the kind of work I do.
I have Mocha Pro 2024 and am tempted to upgrade to 2025/2026 to take advantage of the Object Brush / Matte Assist ML tools. I'm curious if anyone has firsthand experience with those newer Mocha tools and if they are better/faster for "automatic" roto than AE's rotobrush.
thx!

Using Wacom Intuos 3 and Huiion Kamvas Pro 16 in Windows 10?
Hi
So i have a Wacom Intuos 3 and a Huion Kamvas Pro 16. I will like to alternate the use of both tablets, some days the Wacom (for nuke) and some the Huion(blender).
The other day i tried and uninstall the wacom, then installed the Huion and everything went fine, then when i installed back the wacom and unchek "windows ink" the mouse cursor disappear and then, whith the help of ChatGPT, i get the cursor back.
Anyways, anyone using a display and a normal tablet in windows 10?
Thanks

Boris FX Silhouette crashes 50 times a day
Hello Everybody,
yesterday I subscribed to Boris FX Silhouette and now I'm on my second day working with it.
What a nightmare.
I do not read very much about the instability of the software on the internet. What is happening here? Am I the only one having these problems?
Case where the software crashes:
selecting and using the IK tool - instant crash
using the ML nodes: sooner or later crashes
using the estimate color node - crash
also a LOT of random crashes that I can not reproduce.
What is this? I need to do shitloads of rotoscoping and was hoping to get it done with this software faster.
System Specs:
Win11
Ryzen 7950X
128GB Ram
RTX4080Super +RTX3080 with latest Studio drivers
All SSD
Any help is highly appreciated
