no easy way to shift the spans. best way i know of is to do the following:
1. press PP to show all strokes.
2. (optional) press caps lock to disable rendering for a little bit.
3. select 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:
    a. delete the span.
    b. move to the new location for that span's base frame.
    c. draw a Roto Brush stroke to force the creation of a new span.
    d. delete the created Roto Brush stroke.
    e. repeat a-d for other spans.

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

thanks,
:jeff

Another Rotobrush question-- can I slide a span through time? Have got several spans on a precomp all done up nicely, however the timing in the precomp has changed. If I unfreeze, the actual matte adapts to the new timing, as opposed to having the whole thing start earlier/later in time.

Any suggestions? Skimmed through the help, can't see anything 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 freeze the rotobrush effect and I believe it will then hold regardless of anything else.

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

Thank You,
Dave
