I’ve not got a one trick fits all..
But going by your stills, the actual computer screen image looks a bit washed out (desaturated).
I’d initally:
Add a ‘Hue and Saturation’ effect to the video player and decrease saturation.
Then Add a ‘Levels’ effect and bring up the blacks (making the black tones lighter).
then Add a ‘Curves’ and bring up the Blues a touch.
Then Add a ‘Gaussian Blur’ (‘Fast Blur) and set thta add 2 to 4….
If you wanted to get extra detailed you could add a solid with a gradient over the top of the video, with the gradient sweeping form right to left (white to black)…. To match the way the brightnes falls across the screen. Then apply a blending mode to this layer ontop of the videoplayer.
You could also do the same with an adjustment layer with blur applied, and use a duplicate of the gradient layer to have the blur be heavier on the right hand side, again to match the monitor where blur seems stronger on the right and gets weaker as you move across to the left.
Other than that, I’d probably flick through the blending modes in Ae on the vidoe player layer, trying doubling some up just in case something works nicely….
Good luck

Ha ha.. I’ll take that as a ‘no and don’t be so silly’ and stick to having it running on the 2nd monitor at work… or become even more unproductive and spend my time creating the browser plugin myself.

Ah.. thanks..
I’ve got the update downloaded and waiting in the CC app.. but it’s waiting for me to close Premiere to finish the update…
Through fear of it breaking any effects on a project due for delivery today I’ve not yet let it finished updating… 🙂
(I look forward to it being fixed as I just had the reverse version of the bug where it muted every time I pressed play )

Just posting to say I’m having the same problem here….
Restarting fixes the problem for me…

Hi
I’m not aware of any 3rd party effect that would simply achieve this.
But to create it in After Effects using standard tools you could.
Put the logo that you want to reveal on a white background and pre comp it.
Draw a mask (path) on this layer where you’d like the eraser.
then apply the effect ‘stroke’ .. and choose reveal original image.
then set keyframes for the Strokes end % so it animates from 0 to 100.
(*alternatively ,you could have the stroke effect on a black or white layer and use a track matte to reveal the layer below it).
Plus put the first shot below all of this…
I hope that helps.
Good luck
