I’ve gone through the Lynda Mocha 5 training + watched a ton of YT videos (I’ve probably struggled with trying to figure this out for a full 8-10 hours)… it doesn’t seem like getting this function to work (even poorly) should be THIS hard. The closest I’ve got to getting anything to work is by exporting the Mocha mattes to AE masks and then trying to use AE’s content-aware fill… which works, kind of… the end result is NOT super clean and I KNOW Mocha can do this much better, I just can’t figure out HOW. The goal of my project is to remove decals/logos/emblems on vehicles utilizing Mocha’s semi-automated Replace function… which I can’t get to work.

I literally can’t get Mocha to remove ANYTHING. When I go into the Remove tab, I turn on AutoStep and leave everything else on default. Made sure the top layer’s track mask doesn’t go outside of this layer’s bounds. Tracked w/ plane (with top layer calculations off, initially).

Bottom layer: Wider cutout of most of the trunk lid.

Top layer: Tight cutout mask w/ slight feather around logo.

The only way I’ve got ANYTHING to work at all is by using a static clean plate, which isn’t what I’m going for… I’m trying to get Mocha to use the clean areas around the logo/decal as samples to replace the masked area with that “smart fill” information.Ī good example of a shot that I’m trying to do is kind of like this ( 2016 Volvo S90 - Running Footage - YouTube), where the goal is to remove the lower left emblem on the trunk lid (S90) and use the empty space directly to the right/surrounding the S90 emblem) as the source for fill/replace. I’m trying to remove logos/decals/etc from the sides of vehicles while they’re driving around (running footage) and I can’t get the removal tool to function at all.
