Effortlessly Remove Objects from Videos with a Single Brush Stroke: A Quick Editing Guide

  • Blog
Post Image

Object removal in video editing was once considered a complex, time-consuming task requiring advanced skills in compositing or VFX. But thanks to modern editing tools, you can now remove objects from video footage with surprising ease—even with a simple brush stroke.

At Omega Film Institute, Nepal’s premier video editing school, we train students to master professional tools that simplify complicated edits. This quick guide will show you how to remove objects from videos efficiently using tools like Adobe After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or other AI-assisted platforms.

Why Remove Objects from Videos?

Unwanted objects or distractions can:

  • Ruin the focus of your scene
  • Break continuity or visual consistency
  • Make content look unprofessional

Common reasons to remove objects:

  • Tourists or bystanders in the background
  • Equipment left in-frame by accident
  • Branding or logos you don’t have rights to display
  • Visual clutter distracting from your subject

Quick Object Removal with a Brush Tool (DaVinci Resolve Example)

Step 1: Import Your Footage

  • Open DaVinci Resolve and start a new project.
  • Import your video clip into the timeline.

Step 2: Access the Fusion Page

  • Select your clip.
  • Switch to the Fusion tab (node-based workspace for advanced effects).

Step 3: Use the Paint Tool

  • Add a Paint Node.
  • Choose the Clone Brush or Reveal Brush.
  • Brush over the object you want to remove, sampling nearby pixels.

Step 4: Animate the Removal (if Necessary)

For moving objects:

  • Use tracking tools to follow the unwanted object.
  • Apply brush strokes across the timeline so the object stays hidden.

Step 5: Render and Review

  • Switch back to the Edit page.
  • Preview the removal.
  • Fine-tune until satisfied.

Object Removal with Adobe After Effects Content-Aware Fill

Step 1: Import and Prepare

  • Open After Effects.
  • Place your footage in the timeline.
  • Create a Mask around the object.

Step 2: Use Content-Aware Fill

  • Open the Content-Aware Fill panel.
  • Select the fill method (object, surface, or edge blend).
  • Click Generate Fill Layer.

After Effects will automatically remove the object, analyzing surrounding pixels to fill the gap.

Step 3: Review and Refine

  • Play back the edited footage.
  • Adjust masks or fill settings as needed.

AI-Powered Object Removal Tools

Several modern apps and plugins make object removal even easier:

  • Runway ML – AI-powered video editing with simple object removal.
  • HitPaw Watermark Remover – Removes logos or objects with minimal effort.
  • Premiere Pro AI Plugins – Various third-party plugins for quick fixes.

These tools are especially useful for beginners or editors working on tight deadlines.

Best Practices for Seamless Object Removal

  • Work on High-Resolution Footage: More pixels make clean removal easier.
  • Match Lighting and Texture: Ensure replacement pixels blend naturally.
  • Use Tracking for Moving Shots: Proper tracking prevents unnatural results.
  • Test Across Different Devices: Ensure the edit looks clean on various screens.
