This hands-on tutorial demonstrates removing a water bottle using Fusion's production workflow. First, feed your clip into Planar Tracker, set a reference on the last frame, and track backward with Translation Rotation for camera movement. Switch to Steady mode to stabilize the concrete box area.

Next, add a Paint node using Multistroke with Clone to sample nearby pixels. Extend Duration for persistent fixes and use horizontal source samples to maintain perspective. Adjust viewer Gain Gamma for better edge visibility, and reduce brush opacity to avoid clone artifacts.

Finally, copy the Planar Tracker after Paint and enable Invert Steady Transform to restore original motion. Merge over source plate and check for drifting strokes. Add corrective paint passes where needed for a natural, seamless removal.

What you will learn

• Set a Planar Tracker, choose Translation Rotation, and set a last‑frame reference for backward tracking

• Stabilize the target area with Steady to create a clean painting canvas

• Use Paint Multistroke with Clone, extend Stroke Duration, and source horizontally to match perspective

• Leverage the Gain Gamma slider to reveal translucent details and refine edges without affecting renders

• Reduce brush opacity to break up repeating patterns and avoid cloning artifacts

• Reapply motion by inverting the steady transform and merging back over the original plate

• Diagnose and fix drift by layering corrective strokes over time for a durable result
