Hi guys,
when the rotoshape turns orange, what do I have to press in order to being able to modify the rotoshape without adding keyframes?
Thanks 🙂

either go to an existing keyframe and modify your shape there or delete all keyframes and modify your shape.

Ya
Rotoshape automatically creates Key in the frame where its created. if you want to modify it, either you have to go that particular frame or delete the key frame and modify as silk answered.
when you copy rotoshape from one shake flow to another shake flow it automatically creates key frame, is it a bug or its done purposely. can someone answer to this....

on my machine it only creates a key if you have auto-keyframing toggled on, which is what i consider an intended feature ![]()

Hi,
Even if your auto key is off, if you copy a rotoshape from one shake flow to another shake flow it creates key automatically, can you try in ur system. want to know is there naything wrong only in system.

jup, if you copy paste a roto it creates a keyframe at the current frame indeed..
not sure what's the benefit of that and if there's a configuration to change that, but the easy workaround is just to hit the delete keyframe button right after paste.
if i create a new roto it doesnt contain any keyframes by default.
