I mean, you could draw a new mask every frame…. But that’s even MORE difficult. That’s drawing 24 masks every second.

When rotoscoping, you set a mask with points, and every frame you drag those points to match the object you are rotoing. I think dragging points is way easier than drawing all the points again.
