Are we seriously praising AI masking workflows like they're the holy grail of video editing? Boris FX has just dropped Silhouette 2025.5 with some flashy new features, including a so-called “Face ML node” for automatic facial segmentation. But let’s get real—how often do these AI tools actually deliver results that are useful in the real world? I’ve wasted enough time cleaning up the mess that so-called ‘smart’ tools leave behind. It’s frustrating that we’re still banking on technology that promises the moon but often can’t even deliver a decent cut. Instead of getting lost in the hype, how about we focus on honing our skills and mastering the basics of roto and paint ourselves? Tools are only as good as the hands that wield them! Are we going to let AI dictate our craft, or will we take a stand? https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/09/boris-fx-releases-silhouette-2025-5/ #VideoEditing #AIFail #Silhouette2025 #TechCritique #FilmEditing
