Silhouette is a best-in-class, GPU-accelerated compositing application, delivering the industry’s most robust non-destructive paint and roto tools to feature film and visual effects teams. Since 2005, Silhouette has made its mark on Hollywood’s biggest films including Avatar, Black Panther, Avengers: End Game, and many more.

The Artists Tool for Roto, Paint & Tracking. Silhouette 2020 goes far beyond roto and effects cleanup tasks with tools to finish the most complex VFX shots thanks to node-based compositing with integrated keying, tracking, warping, morphing, OCIO color management, and OFX support for Mocha Pro and Sapphire plug-ins. Includes 143 VFX nodes with full stereoscopic support.

New For 2024.5

Matte Assist ML
Create fast animated mattes from a single frame using local models and rendering.
Mask ML
Point and click matte generation driven by ML object segmentation.
Optical Flow ML Tracker
Create optical flow data that can be used to track shapes, objects, or point trackers. Now, with realistic motion blur!
Roto > Markup Tool
Roto QA made easy with trackable strokes and linked notes.
Retime ML
Produce pristine time warps, including animated ramping.
Denoiser ML
New 2x faster denoise models cover even more types of footage.
Enhanced Functionality
Faster processing with GPU nodes, less memory used on roto nodes, caching improvements, and more!
Photoshop Brushes & More
Support for Photoshop brushes, latest versions of Mocha, Sapphire, and Particle Illusion included and more.

New Version 2024.5
Mask ML
Create mattes in a flash — driven by machine-learning object segmentation.

Easy to use: Single click or drag a box to select an object
Add or subtract areas with additional clicks
Pro Tip: The new Mask ML node creates mattes based on a single frame. Use your matte as input to our Matte Assist ML node, where the matte is propagated over time, or limit strokes in the Paint node.

New Version 2024.5
Roto > Markup Tool
Save time on roto QA by adding trackable strokes with connected annotations.

Draw freehand strokes, rectangles, or arrows with associated notes
Strokes have note, range, color & complete parameters
A callout from the Viewer > Notes sidebar connects to the object

New Version 2023.5
Denoiser ML Refinements
Improved models trained with even more images to produce even higher denoising precision.
