How I removed Reflection from Glasses | After Effects Tutorial

Painting out glare and reflection from glasses in a video can be pain in the bxxx. Especially when you have a tight deadline.
In most cases it's almost impossible to deliver a clean result that. Also forget Content Aware Fill.
But in certain cases you can save you footage without reshooting the whole video.
In this After Effects compositing tutorial I'm going to show you how to remove reflection from glasses with the help of Mocha AE.
By the way I had the honor to meet @flo.motion in person who is also specialist in using Mocha. Please check him out :)
Enjoy watching!

Man, this is what vfx is all about. Using the tools you have to come up with a solution! Awesome idea and great execution!

[@MichaelPonch]

Thanks a ton!

[@MichaelPonch]

It doesn’t always have to be Nuke or other “Hollywood” tools 😊

[@struwepeter]

@@MichaelPonch i do most of my work with AE. Even most of my TV-Work is done in After effects. When there is just one shot to do, like yours for example, i rarely start up Nuke.

[@SternFX]

Cool solution! Thanks for the detailed explanation. Although it looks tedious, the end result is impressive. As always, it's great to see the process and your workflow is always inspiring.

Very bizarre...I'm literally about to start on a shot dealing with this exact prob this week. You're psychic good sir...and a hero! 🙏🏽

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😊. It luckily worked with my footage. If the protagonists head doesn’t move so much and at least one eye is untainted then it should hopefully work.

[@flo.motion]

Jiha! Great Video and a great ending!! ;) Btw: They forgot my spray can in the goody bag!

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😊. And shame on them forgetting the Spray. But also shame on me….I accidentally grabbed the goody bag from @AndrasRa_ according to the greeting card I found in box 😂. It was nice to meet you, sir!

[@jbmak00]

What's the best spray to use?

[@mircudx4578]

That's basically how Lockdown works. An ingenious plugin, but not exactly cheap either.

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you, Peter 😀
