no easy way to shift the spans. best way i know of is to d= o the following:
1. press PP to show all strokes.
2. (optiona= l) press caps lock to disable rendering for a little bit.
3. sele= ct all, then shift strokes in time as needed. (try to make a note of which = strokes were on the previous base frames, and the lengths of each span.)
4. for each span:
=A0 =A0 a. delete the span.
=A0 = =A0 b. move to the new location for that span's base frame.
= =A0 =A0 c. draw a Roto Brush stroke to force the creation of a new span.
=A0 =A0 d. delete the created Roto Brush stroke.
=A0 =A0 e. repeat a-d for other spans.

please= file a feature request if you would want an easier way to do this.

thanks,

Any suggestions? Skimmed through the help, can't see any= thing on this.

What you could do is apply the adjustments to the = source directly, then precomp the adjusted footage and rotobrush that; even= when you remove the effects later, the brush won't change any.

Alternatively, after you have finished the job, you can free= ze the rotobrush effect and I believe it will then hold regardless of anyth= ing else.

Hello All,
As a way of making foreground selection easier when using the Rotobrush too= l in AE CC is it possible to apply an adjustment layer where I would use Eq= ualize to correct color and then once I have obtained the desired rotobrush= selection (pink outline), delete the Equalize layer and yet still retain t= he rotobrushed selection for the purposes of applying to the original foota= ge without the Equalize layer effect. Can this be done?

Thank You,
Dave
