Adobe's After Effects can erase unwanted objects from your videos
With the latest release of its Creative Cloud video suite, Adobe has unveiled a content-aware eraser for video that it teased a couple of years ago. Called "Content-Aware Fill" (the same name on the similar Photoshop function), it's now available on After Effects, Adobe's compositing program that's widely used in film and TV production. Adobe's AI Sensei algorithms can analyze background content and automatically remove shadows, logos, wires, boom mics or moving objects from video.
Adobe's 'Cloak' experiment is a content-aware eraser for video
Glamorous show-reels from shows like Game of Thrones get all the fame, but a lot of VFX work is mundane stuff like removing cars, power lines and people from shots. Adobe's research team is working on making all of that easier for anyone, regardless of budget, thanks to a project called "Cloak." It's much the same as "content-aware fill" for Photoshop, letting you select and then delete unwanted elements, with the software intelligently filling in the background. Cloak does the same thing to moving video, though, which is a significantly bigger challenge.
