Roto: in the Viewer pick Bezier or B-spline (V), click points (drag = smooth tangent), click the first point or Enter to close. Q = select; drag points / tangents (Ctrl = break); Ctrl+drag a point = feather; Ctrl+Alt+click a curve adds a point; Z / Shift+Z smooth / cusp; E / Shift+E feather; Delete removes points. With autokey on, every edit keys the whole shape on this frame. Import from mask turns a matte (e.g. an AIRoto layer on the input) into animated shapes. A shape can have a lifetime (it shows only between two frames). Shapes, strokes, layer and shape transforms and attributes from a Nuke .nk script import with the node.
