    I have a video taken out a window, obviously with no tripod, in a moving vehicle. Unfortunately sometimes the window frame comes into shot. Is there a way to make after effects automatically crop this object out. It appears on the screen black and comes sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right about, lets say, 80px in.

    Hi Jackson

    ———- all you need to do is apply a mask if its picture in picture or increase the size of the footage in fame.

    If you dont want to do it that way its more of an effects job which is impossible to comment on without seeing footage.

    If might be worth stabilising the footage as well by the sound of it.
