Adobe’s content-aware video masking is about to make post-production a whole lot more efficient

A wide range of video-focused performance updates are available in the Adobe Creative Cloud’s latest update, including an innovative content-aware fill that removes unwanted objects from videos, among others. In a nod to video and audio editors around the world, Adobe announced new Creative Cloud updates focused on delivering a more efficient and intuitive post-production experience for creative professionals. Among the most intuitive of the new features is the content-aware fill tool in After Effects, which has long been a staple for still visuals in Photoshop. Adobe notes that the feature will cut down on tedious frame-by-frame object masking by automatically tracking the object through a scene and replacing it with contextual pixels. Why you should care: The performance updates, driven by the Adobe Sensei AI platform, add a boost of productivity to time-consuming editing techniques by providing smarter tools for more powerful storytelling in less time.
