It did take me a little while to learn the limitations of Content-Aware Fill.

Here you can see the mask I made to test After Effects’ Content-Aware Fill by removing the vehicle. Of course, that still means there is a need for plenty of advanced algorithms to get the color blending and lighting right. Since there are typically many frames of the same scene, if you are trying to remove an offending object that is moving across the scene, the application can look at a variety of frames to see what the occluded background should be in other frames. However, video does have one natural advantage. Intuitively, that is a harder problem and certainly requires more processing power. Now, Adobe has brought that same capability to video. The ability to plausibly fill in erased areas by using content-aware tools has been one of the most-impressive new photo editing technologies of the last decade. Of course, as anyone on YouTube knows, most of that will unfortunately never be edited, but it still leaves a huge amount that will be. For those who still think of video production as a niche market, Adobe projects that there will be nearly 605 billion minutes of video created every week by 2021. Not to be left out Cyberlink is also rolling out updates to PhotoDirector and PowerDirector for subscribers to its 365 Suite.

Adobe has rolled out a host of new features and performance tweaks to its Creative Suite tools - particularly Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Character Animator. The annual NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) event is traditionally a showcase for new high-end video and audio editing features, and this year is no exception.
