As the title suggest, have any of you gathered masking shortcut experiences?

If you want to make it look good, take the time to do it right

Agreed. Like I said only do so if you're short on time or you can really cut some corners.

I would probably take the long route because I don't have CS5 and also because I'd rather keep accuracy.

Actually i think this a great way to start a mask , thanks for auto-trace didn't know about it. It makes scratching out base for mask much faster.
Roto brush-> split into single frames -> auto trace on each->delete roto brush on each-> fix issues roto brush couldn't handle.

Or it's slower Tho i guess in depends on scene (was pretty useful on moving hair for me).

I mask a scene and for the next frame just move the boxy things around until it's fitted right (if it's not a clip with too much motion, otherwise this would be a waste of time.) It's better than deleting it and doing it again, because if you mask a slow scene then people notice any frame that is slightly off from the last. Probably common knowledge.

Isn't that how masking is supposed to work in vegas and AE? I can understand photoshop users use another method.
