What’s up everybody!
There’s a new feature in Adobe After Effects called Content-Aware Fill that allows you to remove anything from your shots fairly easily! It's pretty powerful, but if you’ve tried it you know that it doesn’t always work perfectly. In fact, it’s only in certain situations where it’s going to give you an acceptable result. So what do you do when it doesn’t work?? Check out the video to find out... Leave a comment below if you have any questions and let me know what you want to see next!

Wow this is quality
DreGonnaDre preciate it!
Noticed your clock on the iMac started at 9:39am and ended at 2:05pm. Took roughly 4 and half hours to remove him from that single 6 second clip! That’s total dedication!
Haha yea it takes some true dedication and patience! Working on a similar project right now that’s much more than 4.5 hours and it’s kicking my butt!
@@CodyPyper You can use mocha for your masks and 2d tracking to speed up 2X your work.
Miguel de Aguirre I was wondering if Mocha would work! Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try that. For this project though i wouldn’t be able to use it though because I can’t get Mocha Track data to come back into AE no matter what I try. Even tech support couldn’t help me make it work. Hopefully the newer versions of AE have fixed it for me
You are an absolute wizard. I was always so hesitant to use Content Aware because I never believed it could tackle shots like this. But you took a pretty damn complex shot and killed it in comp. Thank you SO MUCH for this tut! Will definitely use this for reference
Haha thanks man! I appreciate that. Glad it could help you out. Wanted to make this video because I knew people would either assume it wouldn’t work on complex shots, or get frustrated when it didn’t work perfectly like they expected it too. Sometimes it just takes time learning how something works to know how to use it to your full advantage ya know
Thank you ! You did a great job simplifying such a complex daw....Looking forward to be a great producer
Late to the party but this video helped me a lot. I use to be afraid to touch After Effects but your video just gave me the courage and confidence to want to play around in it more.
Thank u so much, interested in starting so soft during quarintine and just need a place to get started, thx for the support
This is excellent, thank you so much!! Been wanting to understand the reference layer for so long now. You rock!
Thanks! Glad it helped, it was confusing for me too at first. If you really want to dive deep into reference layers check out the second part of that tutorial: th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
Dude, I'm new to After Effects so I'm blown away with your skills! Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Of course! And just take it project by project and you will gain the skills you need over time, that’s what I did!
You deserve 1 mil subs. This tutorial was so dope
Thank you man I appreciate that! Means a lot coming from you
this tutorial blew me away with how specific and explanatory you were, left a like, thank you
Absolutely, glad I could help!
I saw your comment about masking. If you’re still wondering this video will explain a bit of that process: th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
Doing a precise mask is helpful, but not critical. More importantly, you need to keep as much of the original background as possible when removing in photoshop. Don’t just press content aware in Ps and call it done. If you have more of the background from another frame, use that to remove the object. If not then clone it and rebuild it very precisely, and make sure to remove areas you may have painted over the original background.
Thank you so much, I’m learning tNice tutorials in quarantine and you made it very simple I really appreciate it, thank you for going over every little

The video was so helpful!Thanks a lot!
This got me something amazing for real, brother. Thanks and God bless!
Great video, sir. Thank you so much!
You are welcome! Glad it could help you out
Incredibly knowledgeable and we'll-spoken teacher. Nice tutorials comfortableness with the subject makes starting soft real exciting!!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed videos! On to the soft!
Yep, happy softing!
You have broken the Algorithm. That's where AI fails and Creators Excel. Outstanding work!!
nice job, bro. Much more detailed work than in the usual tutorials~.
Thanks! Yea, I always appreciate more details when I'm trying to figure something out, so thought I would do the same
Thank you! Other tutorials had the mask expansion way too high - 1 worked best
basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!
Yes! A well written comment is appreciated around here
This is next level !! Amazing
This is mind blowing!! You just made it look so easy. I am so sharing this video to everyone I know. You deserve more subscribers! 💕
Thank you! Much appreciated
I can't believe literally no one is talking about how satisfying Nice tutorials voice softs.
My voice does soft, tysm
imagine doing this for a whole concert
Don’t make me lol
that would be a 6 months project haha.
Amazing! Thanks for this tutorial 😄
You are welcome!
A very nice job. The only other recommendation I would suggest is pre-denoising the clip/s, then reintroducing noise or grain after the FX have been done.
Thanks for the suggestion! Would you suggest this even if denoise isn’t needed?
Awesome work Cody!
Thanks Nate!
production. Thanks again!
I was watching your video and went to subscribe, expecting to see at least 100K subs, then I saw you only had 397 subs! That blew my mind! You are so talented and the video was very well done! Keep up the great work and I hope to see you at 1,000 subscribers soon!
Thanks Zach that means a lot! Just started out and growing steady, hope to be at 1k subs soon as well!
this the kind of tutorials we need!!
I’m sayin!
Great tutorial! thank you!!!

Subhash Kini thank you! Preciate the love 👍🏼
Damn ur good, subbed + notif bell. Crazy how the youtube algorithm only shows me hot knife videos when this is what im trying to watch. Keep it going :)
Haha thanks! Appreciate the support!
Im glad youtube recommended this. Your channel is gold! take my sub :)
We take those!
How. In. The. World!!! How is even possible you have only 191 subs?!? I land in this video and im like "Oh good, a very big AE TH-camr, maybe 500k or so..."
Men, this is really high quality. That about reference frame wasn't even mentioned in other tutorials. Good luck and see you when you have a million subs
This comment made my day, so thank you! Means a lot. Started just recently and working hard to grow my channel and produce really good content
@cody Pyper This is lit !! Very helpful
Thanks!
Awesome man good looking out.
Aye glad it could help
Impressive tutorial. Very helpful! Nice shot of Masonboro in the intro ;)
Thanks man! And shhh it’s not Masonboro, its a “deserted island” lol
amazing work
Thank you! It was pretty fun haha
This is incredible man. Well done. About to do this for my own project. Been avoiding PS for a while now but I guess it’s finally time 🤣
Photoshop is amazing haha! I love it. Do you mean avoiding it for the project or in general?
Cody Pyper In general! I only do video work so I spend all my time/energy in PP and AE so I’ve been avoiding learning another program haha
Haha yea understandable, but trust me - once you get the hang of photoshop you’ll realize how much potential it has for making your life easier, even in the video world. Might make a video about this because photoshop knowledge has really come in handy throughout the years
Cody Pyper Yeah and I’ve kind of known that for a while that it could make my life easier but still avoided it 🤣 LOL
Haha well best of luck to you! Have some photoshop videos in the works, but lemme know if you have any questions along the way 🙃
Great tutorial and explanation...how long did it take for you to complete this project? How much RAM did you have installed your computer to work in After Effects in real time...or reduce quality to 1/4 or 1/8 for smooth playback?
Thanks! It took me about 4 hours to complete this particular shot, and I actually only have 12GB RAM installed right now 😞. But working on a Mac Pro with a pretty good graphics card. I actually didn’t have playback in real time, I usually would hit play and wait for it to render each frame and then playback. I sped up the times in the video so you didn’t have to wait 😎
Awsmmmmm work mannnn...🔥🔥✨
who has been blind their whole life and can finally see. I can't express my gratitude in words but tNice tutorials is the best I can do. THANK YOU SO
Love this video 👌, helped a load dude.
Awesome! So glad it helped you out!
very nice tutorial. I had and idea though which may remove your use of the secondary tracking and null object. instead of just rotoscoping the cameraman for the content aware fill, maybe try doing the same thing to a chunk of the audience where ghosting may occur. so that ghosting can happen further out that you can remove with a mask. then rotoscope the audience's heads back in.
Nice tutorial Michael,
very good. a lot of work
thank you so much
Subbed! You deserve more subscribers
Lazercore Good thanks for the sub!
Thanks you bro. love you....
yo that was awesome man!
Hey thanks man!
This was really well done. I think it would be faster though if I just paid you to fix my footage!
I’m open to that!
concepts finally line up in my brain and...well, who knows? Maybe I'll be able to make sotNice tutorialng now.
Dude this is dope as! Your videos are awesome! Subbed
👊🏼😎👍🏼
Welcome!
I know both Cody and Jesse in real life. Such great guys. Give Cody a sub.
IRL friends are where its at
You sir, ... are amazing
Thank you!!
Now this is Content Quality Fill!
Thank you!
Awesome man! How long did the masking technique take for this particular shot?
So masking Jesse out at the beginning for the content-aware fill took about 30 minutes, and the rest of the masking to fix it took about 1.5 hours
Certainly More Advanced Stuff, thanks! Is there a step by step runthru of the reference Image step to get better result?
Yep! You’re looking part 3: th-cam.com/video/efQg0RABrL8/w-d-xo.html
But I also have a really helpful part 2:
th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
Want to see more of the Photoshop part, a lot of creators skip past that, but it's really important for people learning to know 🙌🏿
Yes! A lot of people requested that so I made a whole video about it: th-cam.com/video/efQg0RABrL8/w-d-xo.html
@@CodyPyper ayeee!! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any questions as well
Awesome tut! Subbed... Do you have a video walking thru the details, that breaks down all the specifics of this process?
I don’t at the moment, but I am considering doing one because quite a few people have asked
If you have a question about something in particular, feel free to ask

Would love if you did more AE tutorials! This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful man! I plan to make more soon so be on the lookout 👀
Any suggestions to cover?
@@CodyPyper I'd love if you did a video on the Photoshop shop part and how that helped you in After Effects.
In this video I go into it a little deeper: th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
But I have a video coming out soon that might also help clear that up!
@@andrewriddle1570 In case you missed it, here is a follow up video on that exact topic! th-cam.com/video/efQg0RABrL8/w-d-xo.html

That's crazy. in a good way. Just wow!
Thanks my friend!
Incredible
Thanks!
Pretty cool, this is an automatic sub!!!!
Preciate the support!
Abit too fast for beginner like me but blew my mind what AE can do. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! And yes it took me a while to dive in to AE but it is powerful for sure
Cheers man!
For sure!
Hey, I'm just starting to get into making soft and tNice tutorials 17 minute video helped a LOT MORE than those one hour long tutorials out

Great tutorial. How do you proceed to remove more than one object in a video? Thanks. Is there a more detailed tutorial on this?
Yes, I’ll post a few links to my other tutorials that will help!

th-cam.com/video/nvKt9pnpS8s/w-d-xo.html
Thank u soo much. i was wondering y it didnt soft the sa for as well
Hi Cody Pyper, that's a really amazing tutorial. I am actually facing a problem. So, I basically want to remove a power extension from the shot but the problem is, we use smoke as its a music video. After effects can't fill the area because of changes in texture. I hope you understand my question.
Thanks! And yes I think I know what you mean, the best way to fill it will be a mix of using AE Content Aware fill, and then taking some pieces to overlay over top of where AE messed up. Either creating clones in photoshop or in AE, you'll have to manually create and track some of the fixes on there. It's really tough but short of recreating something in a 3d environment, it's the best way I know how to do it!
Cody Pyper Thanks for the advise. I will look into this.
You’re welcome, let me know how it goes!
Really great job! Sub'd!
Thanks for the sub 👍🏼
Great tutorial! Didn't know one could pack so much info in 10 min. Thanks
No problem! Glad you enjoyed 👌🏻
FANTASTIC TRICK AND TUTORIAL OVER ALL! Any way you can break down the middle part of the video from copying many refs to how to open those refs into photoshop please? I am having a hard time finding the files for my project using your same techniques. THANKS SO MUCH!!
Hey, I will try to break that down more in a future video, but just for clarity, are you referring to the part at 4:14 where I export a few more stills to help remove Jesse in photoshop?
Yes, that is correct. No need to go into detail how to remove something in photoshop. Just the creating references, how to save and use. It wasn't working for me when I was trying it, so I think I messed up somewhere along the way.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
@@worksfromla_ again, you're welcome! So did my comment clear it up or are you still getting stuck on that step?
@@CodyPyper , sadly still getting stuck. You can email me if you'd like if that makes it easier, instead of doing a whole video. I completely understand the production life and juggling time with projects.
@@worksfromla_ Sure - send an email to codypyper33@gmail.com and I'll see if I can help you get unstuck
Use it to ya advantage im bent n focused
Hey Cody,
Curious what you are using to record your screen. Resolution looks great.
Hey Matthew, I use a program called iShowU Instant, has a ton of great recording options and is pretty affordable!
Sweet. Thank you
Matthew Bowie yea no problem 👍🏼
one question, does premiere pro and after effects use the same content aware tools? can this be achieved with premiere pro?
No, Content Aware Fill is only available in After Effects currently
GL bro
wow ....great work ...it was a little to fast for me as I am only learning AE
Thanks! Let me know if you had any questions about anything specific
thank u
Nicely Done! Quick question f anyone knows... Can you create different more than one reference frame at different points in the timeline so if the video changes drastically, the content aware has more to work with? I have tried this but maybe I'm missing something or it's not possible. Thank you!
Thanks man! And yes you absolutely can. That’s actually the best way to do it in my opinion. Here’s another tutorial I made breaking that process down: th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
In addition to that tutorial here’s a quick note that helped me tremendously when I’ve worked with clips that change drastically: you may want to break it up into sections instead of doing one long fill layer. Maybe at different points where a big change happens, so the content aware fill is filling in similar data inside of each section. Does that make sense?
@@CodyPyper Ah, so break it up into several comps that eventually stitch together into one clip?
@@CodyPyper Of course you made a tutorial breaking down that exact thing. Ha. Thank you! Your example was the best I've seen explaining the process too.
You can do it that way if it’s a big clip, might be easier to keep it organized. But in the past I’ve kept it in the same comp and just worked left to right and changed the work area to only create the fill layer for each small section at a time
wooow, Awesome
Thanks!
Its attractive how calm tNice tutorials guy is
Cool, and nicely presented! However, I have footage that changes light too much, and so far photoshops content aware fill works much better. It seems AE won't check each frame. Am I missing something? [Edit]: Fixed it, reference frames did the trick. As you said :D
Thanks man! If you're having trouble, there are two newer videos I released that go into a lot more detail:
th-cam.com/video/MSPvD0vkRBM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/efQg0RABrL8/w-d-xo.html
If these don't help, feel free to reach out with a specific question!
Awesome! Glad you got worked out
Great!!!
Thanks glad you liked it!
