Post-production retouches videos: removing objects, replacing backgrounds

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsCreating images, videos & audioFilm, music & audio

Fits: Marketing & communications · Creative & media production · Social media & content

Microphones in shot, distracting signs or a grey sky can be removed in hours instead of days. Many tasks that specialists used to do frame by frame can be handled by the editing department itself.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly edit films, commercials or online videos and often have small distractions in the picture.
  • You work with editing or compositing software that has, or can get, AI features for retouching.
First step today

Use the template below to describe three to five shots from a current project and have a retouching list created with difficulty and check points. Then try out the simplest shot with the AI retouching in your editing software.

How to go about it

  1. Define the retouches and the intended use
  2. Provide original footage and reference images
  3. Have retouched versions rendered
  4. Check frame by frame and rework
  5. Clarify labelling by purpose and deliver
  6. Document settings and limits
