In the Daily Newspaper sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Rotoscoping delivers measurable results that transform how daily newspaper professionals communicate with their audience.
Daily newspapers face a brutal speed requirement — stories break and age within hours. Video teams at dailies need rapid turnaround: reporter-shot smartphone footage edited into clean 90-second explainers, animated maps for local news events, and live-streamed press conferences with lower-third branding. The challenge is producing broadcast-quality content on a print-newsroom budget. Short vertical clips for Instagram Stories and TikTok drive younger audience acquisition, while longer interview segments anchor the website's video section and support podcast crossover content. Every video must reinforce the paper's editorial identity and local authority.
Print and digital publishers face a fundamental transformation: audiences consume 78% of news and editorial content through video. The shift from text-first to multimedia newsrooms requires new skills, workflows, and production capabilities — while maintaining editorial quality and journalistic standards.
Publishing houses must create author interviews, book trailers, and editorial video content to compete for attention. The economics are challenging: video production costs more than text but generates significantly more engagement and advertising revenue.
A regional newspaper launched a daily video news segment alongside their print edition. Digital subscriptions grew 156%, advertising revenue from digital video exceeded print ad revenue within 18 months, and the newsroom won two digital journalism awards.
A publishing house created an author interview and reading series for their catalog. Book sales increased 89% for featured titles, and the series built a subscriber community of 45K loyal readers.
Publishing video drives sustainable transformation: video news content generates 6x more social shares, author interview videos increase book sales by 89%, and video-first editorial strategies drive 3x more social sharing and 4x higher advertising CPMs. Publishers with strong video content see 65% higher digital subscription conversion rates.

Rotoscoping is frame-by-frame masking of subjects when green screen was not available or when you need to isolate elements within existing footage. We trace precise mattes around people, objects, or regions using Silhouette and Mocha Pro, handling motion blur, hair wisps, and semi-transparent areas like glass or fabric. A 5-second shot at 24fps means 120 hand-refined frames — this is labor-intensive work that we execute with sub-pixel accuracy. Turnaround is 2-4 days per shot depending on complexity. Deliverables include the alpha matte sequence (EXR or PNG) and a pre-composed version ready for your compositor.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
