warning: all target frames are blank. The Content-Aware Fill layer generation has been aborted

[brian taylor]

After Effects ver. 17.7.0 (build 45)

Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3

I've created a tracking mask for a quicktime animation. Mask is set to SUBTRACT.

Layer is selected.

When I try to generate Content Aware Fill Layer, it gives me a progress bar, then the above error message.

See the attached screenshots.

Have tried in composition and layer view, same result.

Have trashed the preferences folder, same result.

This will never work. You are using the wrong approach. Of course this cannot be filled with anything AI-based, because there is simply no pattern to detect. And why would you even? The whole area is just plain black and easily can be covered up with a small black solid. Again, you are going about this the wrong way.

Same case, same error message, and the video area is filled with text that needs to be removed. Can you offer a solution?
