We’ve all been there…
Due to overlooking or unfortunate circumstances our footage has an unwanted object in it (ie. bottle or light in the background, a pedestrian walking across or some other minor details). Reshooting isn’t always an option and that’s when the usual ‘Fix it in Post’ phrase appears.

 | Select the layer you wish to erase the element from. | ||
 | Select the Pen tool. | ||
 | Draw a mask around the element by left-clicking the area around it. Make sure to include any casting shadows of the object.
| ||
 | Within your layer, click on the Masks tab. You should be able to find there the mask you just created (it should have assigned colour of the shape you just drew). Right-click it and select Track Mask. | ||
  | A Tracker panel will show on the right side. Click the Track Forward button to track the movement of the object. | ||
 | Navigate to the mask tab and change your mask’s Mode to Subtract. | ||
  | Navigate to the Content-Aware Fill panel on the right side.
| ||
  | In that panel, select the Lighting Correction and set it to Subtle, Moderate or Strong depending on your need.
Leave the Fill Method at Object and Range at Work Area. | ||
 | Click Generate Fill Layer button to start the analysing and rendering process. This might take a long while depending on the length and dimension of the clip. Once it’s finished, a new fill layer will appear on top of your footage. | ||
 | To view the result make sure you’re at the Composition view, NOT LAYER VIEW. |
