content aware in AE - that would be something...

the usual practice is to create a clean plate still in photoshop (with content aware or other)

and bring it back to AE and with tracking data attach it over the dirty part.

also add levels and change the histogram according to lighting changes

and add grain.

Sorry, I don't know how to make the subject more specific.

I'm working on a few crime-solving TV shows. One of the themes is that they write stuff with markers on whiteboards. As the show develops, the whiteboards get filled with more and more information. And they often refer back to the whiteboards. These are NOT lockdown shots. It's all hand-held.

Sometimes they write something on the whiteboard that "network legal" doesn't like. My job is to remove it, or fix it.

If it was a Still in Photoshop, I would just use "content aware fill" and be done with it, but it's not.

Right now, I just track a solid and apply 4-color gradient to match the whiteboard. This works 80-percent of the time.

However, sometimes a shadow of an arm goes across the area. Yes, I try to animate the colors but it's not so great.

I guess my question is: is there any technique in AE that can (per frame) act like "content aware fill" in Photoshop?

Thanks.
