hey dude! great tutorial! but theres just one thing that keeps happening to my content aware fill and i have no idea how to fix it. everytime i try to generate fill layer it works and it says analyzing 16% and then it stops ..? theres a warning that says "CAF: out of memory" ive tried countless of tutorials but there just seem to not have a fix for it? x
This seems like something buggy and isolated, so I would start by saving and closing project and then Quit. Power down computer, turn back on and try again in AE. 👍
Hoping can help me real quick...I am trying this but I don't get the "transparent" background you get when you hit Subtract. Mine is just black. And then the fill layer doesn't seem to work right, it just stays black. What am I missing? Using the Pen Tool as well.
Can you confirm that the black you are seeing is not the Background Color in your Composition Settings (Cmd + K) or a solid layer below? Toggle on the Transparency button below the Comp Window to see if you get the transparent Grid. Make sure to change the mask settings when doing the Content Fill. It can get a little tricky, so maybe rewatch and give it another go as I’ve had times where things didn’t seem to be working and it was usually just a misstep on my part. Let me know. Happy to help/troubleshoot 👍
4:21 I thought the tool was not working properly for me, but it was indeed working! just not showing up for me because the loading bar was hidden. Bruuh. Thank you
Sooo helpful-- thanks so much!! One question: if you have a problem and need to redo a section of the clip is the best way to delete and redo? Because after processing PNG layer is baked in and not editable, correct?
So glad it helped...thank you. I'm not exactly sure what your project looks like, so it's hard for me to give a definitive answer from memory, but if it's easy for you to start over and get the results you are looking for, give it a shot! 👍
@@MikeMurphyCo thanks!! Just asking because it often happens w masking that a bit will peek out and you need to retouch! But I'll for sure give it a try- many thanks!!
HI brother when i use content aware fill my c drive fills automaticly with no reason and after effects showing error CAF out of memory and somtimes CAF library expires Something like that plz help me
Thanks for this tutorial, I just cannot get it to work for me. When it has finished rendering the mask area is still transparent. when i double-click the fill layer the content fill is there but just will not show over the footage. Please do you have any suggestions what i need to do?
@@MikeMurphyCo Hiya, yes i am only using one mask and i made sure it was at subtract when i generated the content aware fill. its like the mask and the fill are not connected
I've never actually done this in AE, but thinking the Mosaic Effect or a Blur on a Solid Layer would do the trick. Just scale the Solid to the size you need and keyframe the Position to cover the sensitive info.
The first thing I might try is to go to the Edit Menu and select 'Purge' and then 'All Memory & Disk Cache'. Save Project. Quit After Effects and then re-open and try again. What version of AE are you using? Are you working off of an external hard drive?
It’s hard for me to troubleshoot exactly what is going on as it may just be the quality of the footage, lighting, contrast, etc. You may just have to experiment with the settings and retry again and see if you make any improvements.
😢Hello sir i am facing the issue when i click on generate fill layer so this error occur Content aware fill Error, Initialization failed. Please help me
It can be a little finicky sometimes. I recommend Saving and Closing After Effects. Re-open and try again making sure you follow the steps I took in the tutorial. 👍
@@yazdankhan8348 Ok. Let me know how you make out. If you run into issues, share the exact details so I can try to replicate the issue on my end and provide a solution. 👍
I tried to use mine to kinda fill in where I stabilized but it was just a blurry bar. Any way to 1. Make it use a specific area as reference, or even better 2. make it freeze portions? For example technically I should have that same area in some of the movement of my camera where I could just kinda map it in
I’m not 100% sure what you are trying to do, but hopefully this page can provide some insight for you on what is possible with Content Aware in AE: helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/content-aware-fill.html
@@MikeMurphyCo Probably not Content Aware but what i'm saying is if your camera isn't stabile you will have data for area in each direction - (similar to a panorama) so could like freeze top area to fill bottom and vice versa if you stabilize the video. Was curious if that had an automatic function.
Hello, mine isn't working can anyone help! thanks i got this message everytime : After effects warning : content aware fill output format (png) is not supported
Happy to help and troubleshoot for you, but could you provide some more details about the exact steps you are taking and what type of footage you are using? 👍
For me my entire screen went black outside of where I selected the area with pen tool and there was never an option below none to select besides the clip itself. Also my background unlike the one above is constantly changing.
Are you still experiencing issues? What exactly are you trying to do with Content Aware Fill and what type of footage are you using? Have you watched the tutorial a few times and try to replicate the exact steps?
@@MikeMurphyCo The first time I watched it I didn't have the rest of screen go black , I tried to invert it to no avail. All I was trying to do was remove a part in my video but as I say the background keeps moving so in the end I tried again by using the fill tool in after affects but it just looked like a hot mess. So I just gave up.
Crying out loud I got a clip loaded ready to go and tried 5 times with your steps to find Content Aware fill within the first 38 seconds but I can't find it at all. Default already ticked as well but can't find what I need on the right anywhere, not even with typing the words in the search window. Dumping your tutorial and going elsewhere to do this. Thanks for nothing.
You are awesome! I learned exactly what I was looking for in this video! Easy to follow and understand. Thank You!
So glad to hear that and thank you! 👍

@@MikeMurphyCo It's the background color for sure, I just checked. Let me figure out that transparency button, I'm a doofus lol
@@MikeMurphyCo Yeah, I get no transparent grid, it's just the background color.
@@MikeMurphyCo GOT IT. THANK YOU Mike!!!!

Did you follow the steps to change the Masks (Add, None, Subtract)?
@@MikeMurphyCo Hiya, yes i am only using one mask and i made sure it was at subtract when i generated the content aware fill. its like the mask and the fill are not connected
@@katelwell7690 I'd give it another try and you can maybe test it first by creating a smaller work area before going through the whole comp.
thank mike
Hi Mike, how can you use After Effects to hide sensitive info recorded with a screen recorder and exported to a MP4?
I've never actually done this in AE, but thinking the Mosaic Effect or a Blur on a Solid Layer would do the trick. Just scale the Solid to the size you need and keyframe the Position to cover the sensitive info.
@@MikeMurphyCo Thanks Mike. I'll give that a go.
hi there is no option to generate fill on my AE 2023? has all the options for content aware fill but no button to actually generate it?
I had the same trouble... just un-anchor the content aware fill panel and the button magically appears ! just another bug of AE...
@@merlinmerlette thank you i’ll try this
Sir my question is I have done same way using content aware fill it rendered but finally analysis result was
MEMORY NOT ENOUGH ...ERROR....
The first thing I might try is to go to the Edit Menu and select 'Purge' and then 'All Memory & Disk Cache'. Save Project. Quit After Effects and then re-open and try again.
What version of AE are you using?
Are you working off of an external hard drive?
Hey, have you heard of any comparable software alternatives out there for a Content-Aware Fill?
Awesome
Awesome! Glad it helped! 👍
When I try to remove a water mark I have the artifacts in the aread where I apply Content-aware fill. Why is it so?

FYI, there is a Warp Stabilizer Effect that may help with your shaky footage.

can I iron a shirt with after effects? there isnt a single tutorial about it if the answer is yes
Ha! Of course AE can iron shirts. 👍

a lot of garbage, simply tell the important ot how turn on the computer
Thank you for the feedback. Sorry to disappoint. ✌️
Hello. What if there’s more than one layer in the comp? Do I need to turn off visibility for all the others?
To use Content Aware Fill , you double-click in a layer to open it so you will not need to hide other layers.
@@MikeMurphyCo ahhh ok thanks a lot 😊
