Fusion 7 tutorials

I've watched some of the Fusion 7 tutorials. I'm only interested in being able to remove unwanted objects from some of my film clip videos. Nothing else matters to me in Fusion. Is there a particular Fusion tutorial which explains the steps in how to remove unwanted objects from film clip videos? thanks

Is there a particular Fusion tutorial which explains the steps in how to remove unwanted objects from film clip videos? thanks

The basic theory goes like this:

(1) Take one or more still frames from the video into Photoshop;

(2) In Photoshop, remove unwanted objects using clone tool and content-aware fill. This frame is called a "clean plate;"

(3) Import the clean plate into your compositor. Make one instance of the clean plate for each object you will remove.

(4) Track one object you wish to remove;

(5) Transform an instance of the clean plate to the track of the object to be removed;

(6) Mask the clean plate to cover the object you want to remove;

(7) Repeat process with each object to be removed and each instance of the clean plate

(8) Render final with all objects removed.


Now that you know how the process works, you can learn to do the steps in Fusion, Nuke, AE, Mocha or any other software that has tracking and masking features.

You waisted your time:P
My question remains.

You meant "waste."

I don't have photoshop and I am asking a fair question. Never mind my spelling. You are wasting more of my time and yours. Go away.

Hey Peter I do believe Lee Gauthier was being "fair" in answering such a NOOB question,
But hey there are many ways to remove something from footage in Fusion, but sadly you're determined to learn the hard way.

Here is a bone for you to chew on, Enjoy!

He gave you good advice. If you didn't shoot a clean plate, you'll need to make one. Fusion is not the right program to do that. You can use any image processing software, even free one like Gimp, but Photoshop makes it easier with it's content aware fill.

The ****** was being patronising then out right insulting. So, my question still remains. Can Fusion 7 remove obstacles? I don't want to use frgn Photoshop. If people don't know the answer to that simple question then there is no need to 'waste' my time.

Thank you for your reply Uli.

Wasting your time?
You greedy little turd!
If you get a reply/response you should be thankful even if it was not the answer/solution you needed.

You're not worth anyone's time when you act like a brat, and can't appreciate someones honest response.

WTF! are you 12?

Oh getting a bit hot under the collar Darrrle. His advice was a condescending lecture. If you can't handle that, then buy a box of tissues and drop dead. I only care for answers from BM staff from now on.

Wow. He gave you the basic steps to do it. If you read it as being condescending I think you have issues.

I haven't had to do this in awhile but here it goes...

Let's keep things civil here or threads will be locked and warnings will be issued. People are coming here for assistance. If you cannot offer anything constructive, do not comment plain and simple.

Abe,
So this is not condescending? This is what he said.

...Fusion is not Photoshop. He wasn't answering the question I asked. Uli answered the question. If I wanted to know what Photoshop can do, I would have asked.

Can Fusion 7 remove obstacles?

No, it can't. It can, however, enable a VFX artist to do so.

How can it enable a VFX artist to do so please?

Lee summarized the steps pretty nicely already.

I was after a Fusion 7 video tutorial that explains it in steps for beginners. I should have mentioned 'video' in the original question. I have seen a youtube tutorial on how to do it but that is for people who are familiar with Fusion or other VFX apps.

All this was from his 2nd response, AFTER you had already accused him of "waisting" your time and AFTER he had given you a nice, detailed response. If you can't see how you were rude here...

Wow.

unbelievable...
thx lee anyway!

To those who have defended Lee-
I was quick to Judge Lee's reply to my question, but he was quick to insult me & nit pick my spelling. Get over it. I am turning Notifications off, so I don't have to read any more bs from people who don't matter.

Wow. Just wow.



If you don't have Photoshop then try Pixelmator.

Lee deserves an apology. He answered your question eloquently and with professional advice. Fusion can't create the clean plate you need to remove something in frame - Photoshop or a similar program can if you haven't shot one. Joking about a spelling didn't deserve your abuse and petulant nature.

wow - again.

Congratulations Peter Lane - you are really the most objectionable person i have seen on the internet for quite some time.

That was one of the funniest things I have ever read on this forum
God bless you Peter Lane, I hope it all works out for you

All the more considering he posted this in the wrong board. Mod, maybe you can move it to the Fusion forum?

And yes, the right approach to almost anything is to understand the process first, and only then to learn the tools to do it. Otherwise, it's just pushing buttons sequentially.

You should visit a hospital very soon.

Fusion can't create the clean plate you need to remove something in frame...

That's quite incorrect ,Fusion can and is used to create clean plates ,remove wires,objects etc on footage or still images.
In fact I can't figure a single operation or technique which PS can perform and Fusion can't ,though in PS some are made easier/faster.
The particular clean plate creation using content aware algorithm in PS is not implemented in Fusion, but its done by manually pasting/adjusting/painting parts of the image/other frames , over desired area.

I create clean plates in Fusion quite often. Lee's steps were spot on, and can be done in Photoshop or Fusion.

Fusion does everything Photoshop can do and its even better when it comes to masking.

This is why you hire someone to do this.

Yes,for the most cases the steps outlined are the way to go, but not always.

Sometimes a simple cloning in conjunction with appropriate CC and some filtering(erode/dialate f.e.) of near by area, whether using paint tool or transform with mask does the job. For example when re-building edges of objects which got light wrapped by original lighting and need to be composed on a different BG.

Yeah I would be inclined to IP ban ole Peter Lane if I was a mod here. The answer was given several times...

You know it my friend! PS went obsolete years ago

Of course, neither of these statements are accurate, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.
