Here is a very clear, simple video that shows how mocha Pro is used to remove objects: http://www.imagineersystems.com/videos/removing-a-microphone-with-mocha-pro-and-adobe-photoshop/ mocha Pro does not have "content aware" so if the clean frames do not exist within the shot itself, the user needs to create the painted frame. In my opinion, the most unique aspects of using mocha Pro for removes is both the" illumination modeling" which matches luminance and color shifts and the ability to "interpolate/blend" in multiple clean plates over the course of a shot. Both are significant time savers. For those under budget, upgrade from bundled mocha AE to mocha Pro is $795 (or about $2 a day over 1 year!).

I mostly use Mocha AE to track in clea= n plates from photoshop and it works great.
Mocha Pro has a remove modul= e that does magic.If you have the budget, it works great.=C2=A0

You will be happy you did. It really is that special.

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

Sorry, I don't know how to make th= e 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 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.
