Can I separate Masked Object to a new layer?

Using the new AI Object Masking/Tracking function, can I lift the foreground masked object to its own layer, and have AI fill the background on the layer below, and disable viewing the masked area layer, as if nothing was in the foreground? Like moving an undesired figure from a photo, except in motion?

Best as always,

@lorenm84878416 Your question is about motion - can you confirm exactly which application you are using. (You posted your question in the Photoshop forum)

Hi, Dave-

My bad. I have used Photoshop Object Selection/Masking with partial success removing baked-in lower third titles in prep for creating an HD version of a documentary transfer from 1” Type C airtape to ProRes HQ. (In HD, old lower thirds would crop out at bottom of frame.)

But my question was for Premiere, and the newest Object Masking function. I would love to be stay in Premiere, able to remove old titles from a background and recast titles within HD framing. Then I expect to run Topaz Video AI to deinterlace and sharpen it.

It is my first film, from 1990, about inventors, and the lab A&B roll I could normally use to isolate titles was lost by Du ART when they folded around 2017. This transfer is my only recourse.

Best as always,
Loren

Is the camera fixed or in motion? If the former, then Gemini 3.0 can change the text, (in Photoshop). You could then overlay this area — so long as there is no movement behind it.
