  • Need help learning how to remove text from a video clip

    Hi.

    My skill level in After Effects is rather “noobious”. I do have a general grasp of the software, just not much experience. And I am proficient with Premiere Pro.

    That said, I have a task that involves AE and I’m not sure how to tackle it. Was hoping maybe someone here has a tip for me.

    I need to remove the following text

    Antibody
    Drug
    Conjugates
    (ADCs)

    from this video clip:

    https://streamable.com/12adgu

    I did watch some tutorials on how to use Content-Aware fill to remove objects, but in this case it’s not producing good results. At least not for me. Wouldn’t surprise me if I wasn’t doing it right : )

    My issues are that (a) it seems I don’t have a good reference frame for the background for content-aware fill to work properly; (b) towards the end of the clip in the link, the background completely transitions through cross-dissolve to a different background, while the text stays.

    Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    If you do not have access to the original test tube image – freeze-frame the first frame after the fade and paint out the text with the clone stamp. Then re-create the appearing hexagons and throw an animated overlay over the left side to mimic the previous look. Precomp and add a subtle push-in.
