Mask Prompter
Introduction
Mask Prompter is the 2023 way of creating mattes. It’s interactive and easy to use.

General workflow
You create mattes by specifying so-called prompts for the current frame. Prompts can either be points or rectangle masks around an object.
Parameters
Points
Enable “Active” and specify the coordinates of the point. By keyframing the points position you can follow objects.
Boxes
Add rectangle masks to the layer and assign them to one of the five slots. This will create a matte for the object contained inside the rectangle.
Negative Points
Mark areas in the image you want to exclude from the masks.
Edge Enhancement
Run an additional edge enhancement ai to improve the mask.
Output
“Overlay” draws the matte as white overlay on top of the image (set opacity with “Overlay Strenght”). “Matte” will output a simple black and white matte and “On Transparent” will give you the keyed object on alpha.
Overlay Hints
Draw colored rectangles for each prompt point.
Tips & Tricks
If you use the “On Transparent” output the resulting matte can directly be postprocessed with After Effects internal effects like “Refine Soft Matte”.
Backend & Performance
Hardware Acceleration (on GPU version of the plugin only)
Run calculations on the GPU. This will give massive speedups compared to CPU mode.
Lower Precision
Compute with reduced precision if possible. This can save up to half of the memory and give you some speedups.
Samples (not available for all settings)
The number of ai samples to calculate. This will improve the models accuracy.
Computation Tiles (not available for all settings)
Split the computation into several tiles. This can help if you run out of memory.
