Is there any good open source rotoscoping application? (lemy.lol)

As far as I got, Blender's features for masks are very good, but then they fall short when you want to tweak the animation curve for animated masks because, well, there are no curves... it's all linear, they just won't appear in the graph editor.
So I was wondering if there is some other application that does that, be it specialised or not, maybe specialised for compositing would be a plus actually, considering all the video editing features that are left in the dust by Blender, because I assume the big players don't care for them and rather fund for the development of all the 3D capabilities, which I care about very little for what I usually do, so I'm not seeing any improvements on that side anytime soon

Not necessarily super important, I've known about Resolve for a long while now, but always tried to stay away from it due to the issues some people talk about when using it on Linux, maybe I'll try and judge myself though. I think the hardest thing is to get it installed, on Fedora at least

I use it regularly on Linux. Feel free to message me if you're having issues.

If you're not using decklink output for SDI to a ref monitor, it's probably best to use davincibox since resolve is specifically developed for Rocky Linux 8.

That's a really cool project, didn't know about it!
Don't know what decklink and all that are, so I guess I can safely go with that XD

Thanks for the help, I'll ask again if I need
