- In this exciting tutorial you will learn how easy it is to remove objects from your videos with just a few clicks using the new Content-Aware Fill feature in the latest version of Adobe After Effects 16.1 introduced April 3, 2019.
No more frame by frame rotoscoping to remove unwanted areas, because now it is easier and faster than ever before! Learn how to set up masks and choose the right Content-Aware Fill method to remove objects. You will also learn how to get rid of lens dust, logos, cars and even moving persons from your videos.
You can use these techniques to remove areas and objects from your video which can create a clean-plate to be more creative and flexible for VFX shots, motion graphics and title sequences.
Content-Aware Fill has been in Photoshop for many years and was first previewed for After Effects during Adobe MAX 2017. To me this a real game-changer as it will dramatically speed-up VFX workflows.

Best video on Content aware fill I have seen so far
praful tyagi Thank you! Very much appreciated
I have a video 5 minutes and size 200 mg when i try remove logo from it using content aware fill , it takes very long time and video becomes 10 giga, what a piece of shit program, fuckn useless.
This feels like the definitive tutorial on Content Aware Fill. Thanks so much for making this video!
Thanks for this video, also the coffee break was so cool to watch
Nice tutorial, one thing, couldn't you have technically used content aware fill on Photoshop to create your reference frame? Cheers
Dolan Dark oh absolutely! In fact I’ve tried it, but wasn’t happy with the results as there was quite a significant area to remove with relatively little area to (automatically) gather material. Hence the manual old school way
LoL hey dolan
Look who I found 😳
nice

Thanks a lot for this tutorial but only one thing...I can't find this "Match grain" I have Adobe 2020
Absolutely BRILLIANT video. I love how you did different examples with completely different challenges. You're saving me from a mouse cursor over the face of a Zoom interview subject...THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words! Happy that it helps you!
Nice Tutorial. My problem: Memory cache runs full in 10 seconds while generating fill layer. Any idea for pre settings?
Thanks, I was looking for some more complex shots for replacing something in a shot.
Usually it's the best case scenario when other's do videos like this, like a grass field or a road.
This was really helpful 😊
Need help... Can't use the cloning stamp like on 13:22 with a new layer selected nothing happed... anysolution Thanks..!
super helpful. Thank you! Best video on content aware fill--very easy to follow along.
Renee Coleman thank you! That is very nice to hear! Happy it helps
Thank you for explaining this! Great job
Such a good and thorough tutorial. Thanks a lot :) Great work, helped me out a ton
Wow. This video covers all the questions i had with content aware. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Shourjya Dasgupta very happy it helps you! Thank you
Whenever i go to create the reference frame in photoshop and create the extra layer and move it under the reference frame layer and try to clone stamp, my clone stamp doesnt work. Please help
You explain it very well, thank you.
How about removing a magic arm from a moving reflective surface? This kinda doesn't seem to work... Maybe there is a way manually mask the object ?
I got a person who appearsd in the middle of my clip on and then dsseaprs . How do I jus mask out that section where the person appeards? I dont want to mask out that area before the person appears
After creating a reference frame how do you bring it back into After Effects?
You just import it like any other footage element.
You completely nailed it💝💝
But how did you achieve the Ant-man shrink effect?
This video is a few years old now so not sure if you'll answer me but, I'm trying this for the first time and I only can see what I penned out I just see the transparent background. How do I show my video like you are if that makes sense to you?
Amazing video!!
Thank you so much!
J. Vonhögen thank you so much! You’re very welcome
Great video! I have a couple of questions(I'm a noob). Can this be used for a 360 video? I'm looking to remove/blur a person from a moving video. For the mask where you're walking, do you have to move the mask frame by frame? My video is ~ 30 minutes.
Very helpful. Thanks !!!
why do i always have a mask showing me the pixel background on the frame that I use for reference (in after effects)?
Awesome tutorial!
Very easy to understand, and I was imagining Noho Hank, so you kept my attention. I hope that is not offensive.
Vanessa Learning thank you, glad it helped! I am sorry but I do not get the reference
Great tutorial! Thank you so much. I just subscribed and am looking forward to others.
J.L. Chapman thanks so much! Very happy to hear
how large the scale of the object can be auto fill?..
super helpful, thanks robert!
Thank you! Glad to hear it helps you!
Hi, I get this message and it does not remove the object "Frame 524 not rendered in Clip “Remove input”.
I am facing one issue. I have some text in the video. The text is shown only for some duration of the video. I am trying to remove that text using content aware. But what happens is, the mask is shown for the whole duration of the video.. I want to show the mask only for some specific duration. How can I do that? Thanks in advance.
I'm not getting a transparent space where the mask is. Mine is black and when I generate fill layer, nothing is happening. The mask space is still black. Am I missing something?
what would happen to the clean plate technique now where would it go:|
If there is more than 1 object that needs to be deleted, what should be done?
Is it working on the 360 video too?
Great tutorial Robert, are you going to make a tutorial on how to shrink someone as in this video?
Military History With Will 71 thanks so much! What do you mean? I just pushed the shrink button...;) Kidding aside: yes, will do a tutorial about it! Might need a bit of time but it will come. Thanks again
@@RobertHranitzky Ha ha, thank you, I'll look forward to the lesson as I am looking at a Military history video and require to shrink Will 71.
In my case it leaves other coloured holes of a distort glitch
Can I remove content aware after effects cc 2017
starts at 1:13
Will that work with a text title
Of course. You can put anything over it
I saw an effect where the original footage had an object with a scrolling background and the effect had the object moving over a stationary background that had been extended left/right so it was very large but included all of the footage of the background like it was one large plate.. sorry if that's confusing.. but I am trying to figure it out and this tool seems to be getting me closer.. any ideas how to do this?
polygonz311 I’m truly sorry but I can’t follow. I think an example/link to something similar would help?
@@RobertHranitzky Thanks Robert. Here is an example of the 'effected' video: th-cam.com/video/MgZQ0kfNvAU/w-d-xo.html

10:55 how do you do the shrinking effect? Thank you
glabutis37 tutorial about this coming up soon!
Robert Hranitzky That’s what you said to the other guy eight months ago! Is it a secret? 😁
glabutis37 True! Wish I could have finished it back then, unfortunately a couple of projects piled up and those had to come first.
Robert Hranitzky no problem
awesome video!
How to save the video after removing?
i click how you say, and didnt do nothing in photoshop cloning tool
is app ka name kiya he please riply
Thank you, that was very helpful
Amadossa My pleasure
we want link of after effect site
Thanks for this tutorial mate! However, it's not working for me: when I click in Generate content aware fill again it doesn't do the job... It analyzes it, it renders but nothing happens. I'm following your exact steps...
Tobias Crow thank you. Did you make sure the Alpha Info (mask or luma matte) is throughout the clip and not just one frame? Does the preview show the transparency with the purple and white areas on a black background?
Hallo Robert, wie kann ich meinen iMac (Retina 5K, Ende 2015 | AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 MB) aufrüsten, dass ich mit diesen schneller in After Effects o. Premiere arbeiten kann?
meiner braucht nämlich gerade etwas länger beim Analysieren der Füllebene...
arbeitsspeicher ist momentan 16gb drin.
Leider nicht viel, weil iMac. Also am besten RAM rein was maximal geht. Alles auf SSDs (intern und extern). Die GPU ist leider wohl der Flaschenhals, aber leider auch nicht aufrüstbar.
Great Video. Thanks
Thanks so much!
But how, the cycle scene was complex and didn't have any plate. The results are amazing.
SENSAI!
Thanks! Yes, it’s pretty stunning. Quite honestly the street shot was the one I was most surprised of as well.
Yeah, that one really impressed me! Seems like a pretty useful feature after all...
Machine learning. That's what adobe sensei is.
We'll be out of work in 5 years.
That's absolutely insane
Yes it is!
Does nothing, all I get is a black box on my video?
Thank you Christopher Walken
Sehr gut, Danke schön.
PROBLEM while using content aware fill- It either:
*1. Creates only 1 frame covering up what I wanted- but nothing in the rest of the frames [just empty pixels]*
*2. It creates a cover for ALL frames- but they don't track the wanted area at all.*
What to do? Who noticed this bug too?
eladbari content aware fill doesn’t track the area you want to be filled. You need to have the area masked either frame by frame, tracked or animated.
I Got a video of a drone moving around me in a circle there was another person near me. I would prefer that person out of the video. Problem is its at sunset and there is a alot of light change and texture change.When I do cotent aware even with photoshop reference frame it looks crap.
That is indeed a bit tricky, especially if the person is not moving! A circular move has also constant perspective changes as well as luminance, which make using a reference frame difficult. I am afraid there will be a lot of manual work involved.
@@RobertHranitzky yeah I ended up just leaving the person in it lol
Hey Robert whats the best way I can contact you to discuss business?
TH-cam v7 via IG or my website
Just checking if you wrote or if it got buried in a filter?
Good job 👏
Thank you!
Great!!!! Many thanks!

After Effects is a poorly-programmed software. It didn't fill though I follow your method and it also often freezes or crashes
😀😀😀😀😀 Thank you.
Riveringot you’re welcome!

Tnks sir...
Nice, thank you, but the music was unnecessary.
9:41 wait a minute... that doesn't look like a mask
The Frame should change slowly as well to take this feature because I try with a rediculous video and it won't work! 😂
