    Hello all. I have a DVD of a interview. I want to change the caption(s) that appear under the person being interviewed, i.e. Damon Thomas – Photoshop user to Damon Thomas – Photoshop & Illustrator user.

    Is this something After Effects can help me with? I’ve never used the software before.

    Damon

    “application that can re-invent video that’s been blocked by text.”

    That made me think of re:vision effects’ re:fill plug (which I’ve never used..) I assume the holes left by the text would be too big to be filled in well though.

    One other thing you might try is to blur the lower third/caption, to a degree where the text is very illegible, but you might still maintain the natural colors of the video.

    If you did it well, it might work as a nice design element… but it could easily look smudged and half-done, in which case covering it up is a better option.
