Want to learn how to remove objects from a scene using After Effects and Photoshop?
In this episode, I show you two different ways to remove unwanted elements from a shot:
A fast, AI-powered method using Photoshop’s Generative Fill
A traditional, manual method that gives you more control
We’ll clean up an old shot from a short film by removing a car, hiding a person, and even adding new features like windows, just like a matte painting.
Perfect for VFX beginners or intermediates looking to build cleaner plates for compositing.
What you’ll learn:
How to export stills from AE and clean them in Photoshop
Using Generative Fill for instant object removal
How to manually patch areas using masks, nulls, and parenting
When and why to use each method
Real-world examples of cleaning and modifying scenes
This technique can be used for TVs, roads, buildings, signs, props, or anything else that needs removing from a shot.
