Powered by Adobe Sensei, Content-Aware Fill for video uses an intricate new algorithm to estimate the motion and depth of masked objects throughout a video clip. Marrying dense motion tracking with pixel replacement, the algorithm finds areas of adjacent images and backgrounds and reveals those pixels throughout the clip and subsequently removes the object by replacing them with pixels that did not have the object in the first place. It not only benefits traditional filmmakers, but is useful to everyone from a professional VFX artist to a wedding videographer who would like to convincingly erase any object from an image. For videos where the region behind the object is never seen, the system employs Content-Aware Fill to guess what is missing.
According to a research report for Business Insider investigating how VR, AR and 360-degree video are shaping the future of content creation “the global VR market is forecast to grow at a nearly 81% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2016 to 2024.” This means that with the advent of increased VR and immersive work the demand for expertly erasing unwanted objects will rise, making the implications of this technology is huge. This toolset is indispensable for immersive VR projects, as there’s nowhere “off-camera” to hide crew, tripods or lights. It not only saves editors copious amounts of time but also democratizes post-production tools in developing industries to provide a level playing field for creators of all stages to be digital storytellers.

It uses intelligent algorithms to automatically remove unwanted objects like boom mics or distracting signs from video. It aims to make it easier for video professionals, regardless of budget, to save time on tedious manual work.
