How To Use the Content Aware Fill in After Effects | Beginners Tutorial

[@MarianaRekka]

I love how honest you are with the specs you don't really know yet, I got really confused with other tutorials, yours is really easy to follow and goes to the bone. Thanks!

[@FunDumb]

It's literally that easy! I've seen a couple of tuts on this but It's nice having something clear and precise.

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thank you!!!

[@hahanomads]

Can't thank you enough as you saved my mental health, dealing with after effects for the first time and trying to make someone disappear from my video, I watched so many tutorials and spent hours of trying until I found your video!!! Thank you for saying that I have to click on the mask path!!! I had literally made the mask 5 times and I was getting an error message in the end! I wish every success on your channel because you are a great teacher and video editor!! Keep up the good work!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thank you so much! So glad I could help with that! 🙌🙌

[@adrianford]

@Matthew 7:15 Media Maybe you’re just slow

[@hahanomads]

@@ShaunNotcutt And when I need it after a few months I come back here and do it again! I need to make dissapear a lot of people! Also great music!

[@ArielVersace]

I mask out the whole thing but then it just remains black and nothing happens! Any help?

[@ManBehindTheScene]

same here, any solutions?

[@jellyfishedx]

I did a test on a video from an Airshow and cropped this dude right out of the video lol. It worked awesome. I just need to fine tune it a little. The particular video, someone walked past the masked area and this person got see glitchy. Thank you so much.

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Amazing!! Glad to hear it worked 🙌

[@nuaveb]

Thanks bro, needed to remove an object but didn't know how to use the content aware section in AE.

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Pleasure Bevaun 💪

[@TheGamingChad.]

it did MUCH better than i expected. i am mostly impressed with the consistency it preserves. i have lots of experience with Ps but never touched Ae. I'll definitely give it a try. i remember a few years ago that was only possible when the camera was completely still.

[@ShaunNotcutt]

It's crazy to see how far tech has come! I've been super impressed with the content aware tool. Has helped me out a lot 🤣

[@codycarlislefilms9959]

Excellent tutorial

[@bradfab_fx]

Which version of aftereffects has the content aware fill

[@thisguys1289]

underrated vid this chanel needs to blow up

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thank you!! 💪💪

[@videolabcreators]

Shaun try double clicking on a mask vertex and you get an awesome bounding box transform, helps with chattering!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Amazing will give it a try! Thanks!

[@emybown690]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!! Desperately need advice: I'm trying to use content aware to get rid of a radio mic. Every time I generate a fill, it says the background is "completely opaque (no holes to fill)" and aborts the content fill. Is this because the mic is black and the person's wearing a black jumper and jacket? Or something else? How do I work my way around this? Do I make the mask area bigger? Any advice and I'll be eternally grateful

[@veezybombay]

Just saved my ass from a client who wanted what I thought was impossible... Respect where its due. Appreciate this tut more than you know. 🙏🏽

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Love this! Thank you!

[@gimics4966]

thanks but how do you get rid of the masking after your done the masking part because theres just a black area on my screen that might affect the video

[@reymondgigante5058]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

It's a pleasure Reymond! 👍

[@Ewan-Argo]

Exactly what I was looking for. Going to try this out. Cheers!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thanks 🤘

[@ALECDRAY]

excellent video, easy to follow, great audio, slow enough to follow

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thanks Alec 💪

[@bligfilms]

great way of telling a tutorial!

[@dearen7588]

Damn that works incredibly well. I though I'd see some blurriness, but it you actually couldn't tell there was originally 2 people there. Crazy

[@ShaunNotcutt]

I know! What sorcery is this!?

[@BraveGuardian]

can you use the tracker tool to do the mask pathing as well?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

I dont think you can, I havent tried it yet but there could be a way to rotoscope and then convert the path to mask, I have seen someone do something like that before using a dropdown on the menu, but not sure how it is done, sorry

[@vivaosdoidos]

thanks man you've helped me a lot with this tutorial

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Hey Frederico, good to hear! Glad I could help! 🤘

[@z.a.studios]

This is super nice but I am trying to remove a person from a 14-second clip and it's quite a small space that needs to be edited but it is taking forever for it to analyze the frames. Like more than 30 minutes. Am I doing something wrong?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

I'm not sure, that does seem like a long time. It does take a while to render, it could be your computer speed that effects it too. Sorry I dont have an answers 🙈

[@OutrunningKarma]

How do you get rid of the mask if you're only using the filter for part of the video? Also hi fellow South African ;)

[@avgsniper333]

Just awesome bro 🔥

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thanks!!!

[@cynlagos]

That was helpful thank you!!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Glad I could help 🤘

[@justinschamp91]

Instead of masking can you apply content aware to a rotoscope layer?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

I dont know if you can, the only way it could work is if you auto trace the rotoscope layer and then try, but I havent tried it out, so I'm not sure 🙈

[@ShaunNotcutt]

You would also have to add some sort of mask expansion as you need space around the edge of your mask..

[@madiotic]

Fabulous😍

[@richardcalcagno6706]

i have 16 gb ram and 50 gb space on pc and my content never turn out good..any idea what i could do different?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Hey Richard, it all depends on what you mean by your content not turning out good. Sounds like your computer is a good one, how does it not turn out the way you want it to?

[@victoriasargaso9576]

Life savior!!!Thank you so much!!!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

It's a pleasure! 😁🎉

[@JohnCarrFitness]

great explanation

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Thank you!

[@mybfsasha4803]

i copied the process but it only generates black images is it something wrong on my end ?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

I've had a free people say that, and I'm not sure why 🙈 did it come right? I know you do have to wait quite a long time for it to process fully and it can show black during that time..?

[@mybfsasha4803]

@@ShaunNotcutt I didn't get it to work ill try again not sure if it changed with updates but i really need to learn how to do this its important for my project🤞🏽

[@naaffax6700]

Which version

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Hey man, which version of PP? I was using PP 2021.

[@thelazycat_]

Nothing happens after I generate fill layer. I end up with a substracted mask

[@autisticanimator]

wait because it is a long process depending on the amount of frames and the specs of your computer.

[@irfancooking298]

nice!!

[@yoshiki0507]

all came out as png. how can I get the video?

[@ShaunNotcutt]

Hey Yoshiki, not too sure why it would do that, only thing I could think is checking your export settings?

[@cromptonenator]

Around 3:06 it seems you've missed a step - how to make the key frames appear?

[@EddieAdolf]

You're right, you have to click the generate fill layer button.
