We share new features and capabilities, often well before they make their way into products, so that we can get real, immediate feedback from our customers and community about what those innovations mean to them - what’s useful, what can be better, what can be more impactful and meaningful to creative people in their daily lives. Sneaks are always experimental in nature and show off some of the latest technology being developed in our labs. It’s actually the entire point of showcasing Sneaks technology at MAX and other conferences throughout the year. As Mark Randall, VP for Creativity, wrote in an earlier blog post: That’s why we’re previewing it now: we want you to be a part of that conversation. Not only is Content Aware Fill for video groundbreaking in its implementation - just like the original Content Aware Fill in Photoshop - it can raise questions about responsible usage. Technology can be exciting - and a little scary Visual effects artists already need to do all of these tasks on a regular basis, and time saved building the foundation of a composite is time that can be spent polishing it to a higher standard. There are also creative possibilities: creating clean video plates for compositing or removing visual distractions like a car driving through the background of a scene or dust on a lens. This is especially critical for immersive VR projects, as there’s nowhere “off-camera” to hide crew, tripods or lights. One of the most obvious applications is to conceal production equipment that’s gotten into a shot, like boom microphones or special effects wires. Going from algorithm to product feature is a long process, but we’re excited about where these tools are headed, and we know you are too: we’ve heard from hundreds of users with a wide variety of backgrounds, all hoping to get their hands on “Cloak” as soon as possible. With the recent sneak peek of Content Aware Fill in After Effects at Adobe MAX 2018, we’ve seen the research once called Project Cloak move closer to reality: soon it will become easier than ever to cleanly remove elements from video, saving hours that used to be spent painstakingly erasing or replacing objects, sometimes frame by frame. Video editors and visual effects artists who use Content Aware Fill in Photoshop - which can convincingly erase an object from an image with a single keystroke - have been eagerly awaiting its debut in an Adobe video application.
