I have had good luck with wire removal effect,=C2=A0just d= o a raw track first and connect the two effect points to the track with, an= d=C2=A0set the width to be as wide as your area to erase.
it will pull = in pixels from around the area you want to erase.
then some roto = on the arm and a new shadow made from a solid should do the trick

Mocha Pro has a remove module that does magic.If yo= u have the budget, it works great.=C2=A0
If you have not lea= rned Mocha AE yet, take an hour and do a tutorial or two.
You= will be happy you did. It really is that special.

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

the u= sual practice is to create a clean plate still in photoshop (with content a= ware 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 ac= cording to lighting changes
and add grain.

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 whi= teboards get filled with more and more information. And they often refer ba= ck to the whiteboards. These are NOT lockdown shots. It's all hand-held= .

Sometimes they write something on the whiteboard that "network legal&q= uot; 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&q= uot; and be done with it, but it's not.

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

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

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

Thanks.
