I’m not sure this is the kind of thing it was designed for, which IINM is to remove foreground objects from moving shots. I suppose it might work if the faces were moving. Then, it has pixels to look at outside of the selection area.
Perhaps the better tool for removing blemishes is to track them with the point tracker or Ae Mocha, and use the Offset plug-in with a mask to “clone” an adjacent non-blemished section of skin.
I haven’t used this feature much. I tested it on a couple shots, and it didn’t work well for me. About the same time it came out, I licensed the Mocha Pro plug-in, and its remove module has more controls, and worked better for what I needed to do. Downside: It’s expensive.
Hopefully, somebody who knows more about this than I do isn’t taking a vacation day, and can help out.
Are there any tricks or tips to using Content Aware in AE? I have a comp which is just faces cut together in CU. Several have blemishes to take out. Im trying to use Content Aware on a clip. Clip is about 14 seconds long. UHD. 3840x2160. I have to masks. Its taking forever. After 30 minutes I am only 10% analyzed. Crash after that so far. I dont have any other effects on the layer as I took off stabilization. In the tutorials it seems to work fairly fast moving through a 10 second clip in real time almost.
What am I doing wrong here or are there some tips. I took the layer out of the comp by precomping it and am just trying to work with the layer by itself in its own comp. But still…..
WTF?
