How To Remove People Using Camera Projection | Adobe After Effects Tutorial

[@AeBlues]

thank you for this tutorial. not too many projection mapping tutorials. a few notes: 1. it seems you are working in "linearize working space" in the project settings. this is why you had to "preserve RGB". it is unnecessary for this technique (and complicates things). 2. you don't really need the projection camera. everything works just as well with original camera. 3. tip - if you feel that the max shadow map is not enough and the texture is still a little blurry, you can create a larger comp size and set it to comp size. then you precomp and crop it again.

Thank you for the feedback!

[@Exilleron]

Yes, that's right, he doesn't need the secound camera. He did this because you don't have to kill the keyframes later on when you copy and paste the camera positions to the light and picture and may other items you want to import. I needed a bit to figure this out as well, seemed a bit complicated, but well that's his own way of doing things. Thank you both for different techniques, I can add this to my Matchmoving options because you can correct the final matchmove a bit more different than with my inverse power pin method in an easy shot like this + you don't lose the motion blur when doing so.

Great tutorial Learned so much but please explain a bit more so we get to know why you did this :) ❤️

Thanks for the feedback!

How did you guys know that i need this... Thank you so much

[@ActionVFXofficial]

You are welcome! Glad we could help!

Im not a pro at aftereffects but i think there might be a simpler way by using content aware fill ?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Content Aware Fill is another way to do it! However, we believe it is also important to know the "manual" way of object removal using camera projection!

Cool tutorial but this type of workflow in Aftereffects is so messy that it's hard to comprehend how in all these years Adobe still hasn't implemented a proper 3D work environment. This type of effect in Blender or even Blackmagic Fusion would be so much easier and faster. I would encourage anyone interested in these types of techniques to really make it a point to learn other apps since Aftereffects is really the wrong tool for the job.

[@poorvanshvyas588]

How can i contact you i wanna learn to do same thing in blender

@@midphase Thank you so much

[@SantiagoAngaritaFilms]

I think it's also a problem of this tutorial by itself. I've removed stuff in way more complex shots without any of this just by relying on the "content-aware" tool. I think most of this stuff is unnecesary unless it becomes strictly a need (i mean, in case of the "content aware" not working or so). I could say you can achieve the exact same result in way less time, maybe they went in the hard way to make the video longer, idk.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you for watching! This tutorial is in After Effects because the majority of our users are using AE. But there are tutorials for other software coming soon!

[@icanl33d]

Good job! So i assume that the movie "The Adam Project" Ryan Reynold's fight scenes with some hi tech army inspired this trick or effect

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thanks for the comment! This tutorial actually came out in August 2021, so predates The Adam Project by a few months. But I can definitely see the comparison! - Jonathan

[@HmongFilms]

Wow. You're absolutely talented, but it's so complicated to do just that. I am totally new AE, but there's gotta be another way, no? Thanks for the tutorial anyhow.

[@deepakmahto4726]

bro woke up and decided to do simple thing, the hardest way 😂 JK nice tut 👏

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thanks!

[@JonGPxl]

I don’t get why the whole projection part? Why not just put the cleanup in 3D space where the solid is?

[@roshanpatel4216]

It won't work just try it

[@JonGPxl]

@@roshanpatel4216can do the same with expressions and get the clean up layer to always face camera. Many ways to do the same thing.

[@rendered_useless2093]

Hello please help when I set my clean plate 3D layer to Light Transmission to 100% and "Cast Shadow: Only" then the layer just goes completely invisible!!

[@thatinaveen9151]

Make more videos in nuke

[@ActionVFXofficial]

We plan on it!

[@saraamadorr]

anyone that know why my solid area looks blurry?

[@mohdnehal4851]

Sir Same tutorial can you make in nuke software

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Nuke tutorials coming soon!

[@bryzr]

bruh y are u masking the skater in subtract mode... u cant even see what you're masking... but good tut overall

[@rgkaczynski]

firstttttttttt

[@InsanitySkateboard]

THE DEATH OF THE BALCONY 13:05 ... soon in theaters... ok, I'm gonna stop watching this video now... boooooooooooooo

[@InsanitySkateboard]

also, this tutorial is so not precise and very messy.

[@InsanitySkateboard]

and.... what's the purpose of just saying what you do and not explaining why you do it ? changing that to 3000 ... but why ? these new tutorial series are so bad quality... subscription canceled.

[@poorvanshvyas588]

it was done to reduce blur in the projection..its just increasing the shadow resolution
