Best way to delete objects

Hi all,

 

Currently i'm editing (in premiere pro) a webinar with multiple camera's. the problem however is that the client requested to delete the logo's on the tv screen. 

The camera's dont move too much, only to adjust the framing. The people however do move there heads in front the logo's sometimes. 

 

Right now I could make a solid in premiere, blur it out and match it on the screen, but this would take ages because the people sometimes get in the way of the logos, and i dont want to end up blurring half of their faces. Isn't there a better way to do this in AE? or in premiere maybe, doesnt really matter.

The webinar is 1 hour long so I want to to be as fast and effecient as possible of course.

Save a bunch of still images from signifikcant frames where the different sections of the background are visible, patch them together in Photoshop, import the clean background in AE and place it in the comp, use the Difference Key effect or blending modes like Difference to generate a matte in a pre-composition. Clean it up with additional effects and bits of extra masking where needed and apply it to the main footage, then slap whatever solid background you want behind the matted layers. Don't even bother with any of the "fancy" tools like Rotobrush or CAF. That's just useless nonsense that will only cost you too much time to reign in and fix their shortcomings plus it will turn render times to insane levels.

try to use roto brush to isolate the character from the background then add any effects you want on the background

also try the content-aware fill it may help you

Hey,

 

thanks for your reply! i actually tried the content-aware fill option but that doesn't move with the logo's. so for examply if the person's head gets infront of the logo, her head will also dissapear. That's not what i want of course. Do you have a solution for this?
