New Tutorial: Removing Graffiti | Mocha Pro & Adobe Workflow

If you’ve ever been asked to remove graffiti from a moving object, you know how tedious and difficult it can be. In less than 4 minutes, Product Specialist Mary Poplin shows Adobe Premiere Pro editors how Mocha Pro’s Remove Module (with a sprinkle of Photoshop cloning) can automate the task!

Object removal made easy with Mocha Pro. Tutorial by Mary Poplin covers Mocha Pro running inside Adobe Premiere Pro with Photoshop for generating the clean plate.

Removing graffiti on a moving object can be a very difficult post-production task, but with the Mocha Pro plug-in for Adobe (and a little Photoshop cloning), we can make this an automated task.

1. Mocha Pro is applied as a plug-in inside Premiere.
2. The side of the camper is tracked with Mocha’s planar tracking.
3. A mask layer for the graffiti is linked to the first track. (Layer order is important!)
4. In the Remove Module, “create clean plate” this exports a frame to file.
5. Open this clip in Photoshop to paint out the one frame. Save.
6. In Mocha Pro, select “use cleanplates exclusively”.
7. Choose desired Illumination settings.
8. Exit to Premiere and turn on Remove Module render.

The Mocha Pro plug-in also supports After Effects, Avid Media Composer, Nuke, Fusion, and VEGAS.
