How do I know if content aware fill's "Generate Fill Layer" is working?

I need to use this function in a video shot in 6k. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in a clip. Even if I precompose it to shrink it to 1080p. I mask a piece of the clip that I want to replace, create a Reference Frame, click on "Generate Fill Layer" and then either it shows up and is empty or it doesn't show up. So I save and click on close and AE crashes.

I don't know if it's still working in the background or not. This needs some indicator or I'm wasting many hours guessing that it's working in the background. Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Mylenium, thanks for the reply. I figured it out myself. My window wasn't fully opened so I couldn't see the progress bar. It's working but takes a long time.

Without seeing some screenshots we obviously can't tell you anything. Sounds liek a classic case of expecting magic and the tool not being able to handle the specific scenario. After all, there are limitations and it's not a universal cure to all ills.
