Remove a visible lav mic from an interview in Fusion. You’ll stabilize the shirt with Surface Tracker, paint out the mic with the Paint node, generate a cleaner still in Photoshop with Generative Fill, then re‑warp your fix back onto the original plate for an invisible result.

Build a rock-solid “AE Master Export” preset in After Effects using DNxHR HQX 10‑bit for pristine, edit‑friendly masters, plus a Cineform RGB+A variant for clean alpha support. Speed up every render by saving these as reusable Output Module templates and avoid quality pitfalls for future projects.

Two fast ways to grab a still from After Effects: use Video Copilot’s FX Console for instant screenshots to PNG, JPEG, or clipboard, or use AE’s built‑in “Save Frame As” to render a high‑quality still via the Render Queue. Set your comp to Full Res, choose your format, and export clean reference frames in seconds.
