In this video, Mark demonstrates some further uses of Photoshop's Generative Fill feature for removing objects from a hand-held shot. Check out Mark's tutorials and plugins here: www.rippletrai... #photoshop #ai #finalcutpro
We lived in SFBA (San Jose, Sunnyvale, Cupertino) from 1993-2006; we loved going through Mill Valley on our way to Muir Woods and onto Highway 1 north to the likes of Bodega Bay. Still miss Muir Woods' magic! Oh, and being near Mount Tam, you are lucky! :0)))
It's so weird that FCP softens the image with a little bilinear softness when playback stops. That's what's causing the line. I wish it wouldn't do that.
Cool. Early days.. replacing elements in a clip with motion must be around the corner. 24 still frames per second automatically replacing matching elements can't be far away.
Another good video thanks Mark. It did make me wonder if you could motion track the still to the hand held footage, rather than locking off the shot in tripod mode? Its still mind boggling what AI does though :)
Strictly speaking with an example such as this one, you could probably do the replacement without stablizing the footage first. It's a bit more work to get everything lined up but I've using the built in tracking with generative fill and it works just as well if you are only replacing a part of the frame.
Sort of - you could put everything into a compound clip and then do a faux camera move on the composite image. Or, instead of stabilizing, you can try tracking the still from PS to the scene but I have found that doesn't work most of the time because FCP's tracker is a point tracker but in a scene with depth different points on the still would need to move at different rates - I've never gotten it to look correct.
Thanks for the video. But I dont think this one delivered on the "hand-held shot" aspect. By doing what you did you essentially turned it into a locked off shot and then the process is the exact same as any other process in this AI replacement pipeline
I assume you decided to remove car after finishing the shoot. It looks like if you just waited for the car to pass you would of gotten what you wanted or this is just a sample scenario for education?
