Removing Objects from Video

I have a video of a cat dancing. I would like to remove the arms of the person making her dance, so it looks like she's dancing on her own.
I'm pretty sure I have to use After Effects for this? Would this be considered rotoscope? Any advice for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch
P.s. I have included the video in question.

Here's a fun look at how rotoscoping has been done in AE over the years...
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ae-me/the-history-and-future-of-rotoscoping-in-after-effects/
And a free (home-made) you-tube tutorial demo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXlN14wyThQ
Linda.com and some other sites have much more in-depth lessons, but you have to pay for most of the good ones.
It's going to ba lot of work in any case. I did about a second-worth of rotoscoping in a personal project recently and it took me several hours to get it right. So perhaps ask yourself, "Does the world really need a nother dancing cat video?"
Seriously, anything is fine to learn with if the subject intersts you. If you really want to do a dancing cat video, play with that one a little to get the feel of it then re-shoot it in a way that will make it easier to complete, for example:
1. Shoot with a fixed camera so that you don't have to worry about camera movement in addition to the cat and your hands.
2. Shoot a seperate shot of just the background so that you can matte it in from behind (or in front) as needed.
3. Maybe wear green gloves and shoot over a green backgorund (or some other distinct solid color) and just try keying things out and animating the gaps back in with sperate images/video clips. Keying usually doesn't look as good as rotoscoping though.
4. Got any cat-colored gloves? Maybe some white gloves painted to look like cat fur? Then all you have to take out is your arms beyond the cat's body.
I know some of those ideas sound cheesy and far-fetched, but that's how movie magic was invented in the first place. It's just that now there are many really experienced creativeswith a century+ of advancements, some really high end tools (like proprietary CGI software and render farms), and lots of time and manpower that you probably don't have... so they make it look easy. But if you don't mind the end result looking a less than broadcast-perfect, you can probably get the point across, learn a lot, and have some fun in the process.

Is it possible to remove blemishes from video frames with photoshop cc?

Is it possible to remove blemishes from video frames with photoshop cc?

Again, show us reference screenshots and we will advise. Otherwise this could become an endless theoretical discussion. Depending on what you want to do you can import the video directly using Layer --> New Video Layer e.g. when covering up fied spots with a brush blob on a layer on top of the footage, but you may also need to create separate layers for each frame using the Frames to Layers script so you can paint on each of them individually. There's really too much we don't know and the possibilities are potentially infinite...

Error removing object from cache with write behind

We have a cache with a DB for a backing store. The cache has a write-behind delay of about 10 seconds.
We see an error when we:
- Write new object to the cache
- Remove object from cache before it gets written to cachestore (because we're still within the 10 secs and the object has not made it to the db yet).
At first i was thinking "coherence should know if the object is in the db or not, and do the right thing", but i guess that's not the case?

Hi Ron,
The configuration for <local-scheme> allows you to add a cache store but you cannot use write-behind, only write-through.
Presumably you do not want the data to be shared by the different WLS nodes, i.e. if one node puts data in the cache and that is eventually written to a RAC node, that data cannot be seen in the cache by other WLS nodes. Or do you want all the WLS nodes to share the data but just write it to different RAC nodes?
If you use a local-scheme then the data will only be local to that WLS node and not shared.
I can think of a possible way to do what you want but it depends on the answer to the above question.

How to remove objects from pics using LR...

I am not a professional photographer and I do not have a whole lot of photo editing knowledge. I started out several years ago using Photoshop elements 5 and eventually learned how to do several things like moving objects around or removing them from a photo, or moving someone's face into a different picture if their eyes were closed and lots of nice editing features. I loved it and still love it. My laptop was getting really old and slow so I just recently purchased a new computer which has windows 8 on it. I loaded my photoshop elements and cannot get it to open or work properly and am wondering if it's because of the windows 8 operating system. So I then decided to purchase a new photo editing software. I decided (quickly.. too quickly) to purchase adobe lightroom just because it had very good reviews online. Now I have several pictures that need to be edited for Christmas and I cannot find any "lasso tool" or any thing similar right now.. I was so used to using the layers and features from the PE and now my heart is broken because I feel so lost and maybe broke at the same time!! This program is soooo different than what I was used to using but I don't even know if I can do the same things with it. EXAMPLE: there is an air conditioner unit in one of the photos I've taken and I was planning on removing it from the picture. Also I was aiming on moving a face over from another picture because of some closed eyes.. Someone please tell me, is this program capable of doing these things or can I only play with the lighting in this? Will I have to spend more of my $$ to get another Photoshop elements to get the features I use?

These tasks are tasks for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, not for Lightroom, which is more an image data base.

How can we know the affected reports when i remove object from universe

Hi All,
If i remove any objects from the universe.
How can i know the list of affected reports.

Thanks for your update.
It shows what are all the reports has been created by using that particular universe.
But my question was, if i remove any object from the universe, Then what are all the reports affected(We may not use that deleted object in all the reports)

Removing objects from photo

I am trialling photosup elements before deciding to buy it or not. Not sure if there is a difference in the trial version compared to the purchased version. I am trying to remove an unwanted object from a picture by highlighting the unwanted object, then I go to edit and then fill. However there is no option for "content aware" under the fill option as shown in the tutorial. As a result, if I choose any of the options under the fill tab, it will only remove the object and leave a "blank spot" on the picture. Have I missed some steps here please? Thank you.

Thank you all for your advice. It certainly was amazing what you were able to do with your suggestions. As mentioned, I am trialling photoshop elements (before deciding it is a product that I can use with ease) and was facinated by the ease of use on the tutorials, particularly the content aware move function. If I am not mistaken, it seems to suggest it is a matter of highlighting the object to be deleted / moved, then choose the content aware move function, and photoshop will do all the 'patching' and merging of surroundings. So basically a click of a button. Unfortunately I couldn't find that function on the trial version of the product. So was wondering if the function is actually available on the trial version so I can see if I can use it before resorting to other alternatives. Thank you.

UnsupportedOperationException Error while removing object from List

Hi,
I need to remove a set of objects from List if it contains similar objects as the other one.
Follwing is the code snippet of the above scenario...
List selectedPaxList = new ArrayList();
TreeSet seatAssignedPaxlist= new TreeSet();
selectedPaxList.add("1");
selectedPaxList.add("2");
selectedPaxList.add("3");
seatAssignedPaxlist.add("1");
seatAssignedPaxlist.add("2");
if(selectedPaxList.containsAll(seatAssignedPaxlist))
selectedPaxList.removeAll(seatAssignedPaxlist);
If i do this in java program it executes fine without any error.But if I do the same in JSP I am getting the following error......
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.util.AbstractList.remove(AbstractList.java:167)
at java.util.AbstractList$Itr.remove(AbstractList.java:432)
at java.util.AbstractCollection.removeAll(AbstractCollection.java:351)
Plz... help me to resolve the issue

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

java.util.AbstractList$Itr.remove(AbstractList.java:43

ion.java:351)
That stack trace looks wrong to me.
ArrayList overrides the remove method, so it
shouldn't be using the method in AbstractList. That's what I thought, too. There is either something missing or it's not an ArrayList. In fact the javadoc of AbstractList.remove sais:
"This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException."
So it really looks like another subclass is used.
Also
the object it is trying to remove is a list (from
your exmaple it should be a String)
I could be wrong.These are just the code references not the parameters, I think.

Hi
Just go to SE03,
Under the folder, REQUESTS/TASK---
Select UNLOCK Objects,
Then ENTER your Transport Request
Click Execute button
Click Yes
Then go to SE09,
Expand the PArticular request with sign '+" on left hand side
Then , look for the technical name as DTP_
Select that ..by placing cursor over there, and then choose the DELETE button below the MENU option on the top of the screen where there is small ICON.
Then again in SE09, Select the MENU Request/Task, look for the Object List which is at the last, and then expand by clicking the right arrow, and select LOCK OBJECTS from the CONTEXT MENU
or
Select the particular REQUEST by placing the cursor on it, and PRESS CTRL+F3
Then you can add it another request if you want else create another etc..do as you like.
Hope this helps you

Remove Object from ArrayList

Hi,
i want to remove an object from my ArrayList. The Array-List contains objects from a class like this:
public class Data {
     String id;
     String name;
     String data;
     //getters
     //setters
myArrayList.remove(myData);
This doesn't work! Why not? What is wrong?
Daniel

The ArrayList determines which element to delete by the equals() method. The default implementation of equals() tests for instance identity. So two instances of your class with absolutely identical data fields will not match! You probably just need to override the default equals() with a proper implementation and everything will work.

Removing Audio From Video (Problem 2) !!!HELP!!!

I have succesfully managed to remove audio and add new audio to an (avi) video. However, when I tried to do the same thing with an new (mpeg) video/ soundtrack. Logic did not allow me to extract audio from video or give me the option to de-select audio tracks when bouncing. So when I extract video with audio I get the old audio track plus the new audio combined. Is it do with the video format? can I convert video formats in logic? many thanks, Ben.

open in quicktime, then click save as and save as a .mov file. This should work. Not sure why this is happening though. Let me know if this works...
Please remember the helpful and solved problem....

Removing object from kodo datacache doesnt always work.

Hi,
We're using a very old version of kodo - 3.4.1 but it seems to work well.
We seem to have come across an intermittent issue where if we remove an object from the datacache using the DataCache.commit call, then the object doesnt actually seem to get removed. So the application continues operation with the out of date cached object. We get no exception or error though.
Has anyone see anything like this before? I can't seem to find any available known issues list or bug database for kodo, I guess this isnt available?
Thanks,
Dan

The size will refer to individual DataCache size.
KodoPersistenceManager.getDataStoreCache() or getDataStoreCache("myCache") will return the default or named datacaches respectively.
You can evict the L2 cache content on the returned DataCache instance from the previous methods.

Unable to remove object from arraylist

Hello,
I am trying to remove a few objects from an arraylist and it isnt happeneing in one loop :
                     for(int i=0;i<someList.size();i++){
                         empVo = (EmpVO)colList.get(i);
                         if(empVo.getempName().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("A") ||empVo.getempName().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("B") ||empVo.getempName().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("C") )
                            colList.remove(i);
                     }So, it doesnt remove the object all the time whenever the names of A,B or C appear, so I have to run this loop thrice so it deletes all the data pertaining to these three emp names. Then I thought may be the size of the arraylist is changing and used a temp var for the someList.size, but that doesnt work either. Could you please tell me what is going wrong ?
Edited by: Sarvananda on Sep 3, 2010 12:10 PM
Also, the exact test has names A to F. So say A, D and E will be deleted in the first loop, then I have to specifically sysout and see which ones were deleted and then write another loop for B,C and F. Ofcourse at the end A - F are removed. But why two loops for it

What if you do this using an iterator to remove items, or if you start from the top of the list and iterate down to the first item?thanks for your reply. I was just looking at the API, and stumbled on this :
The iterators returned by this class's iterator and listIterator methods are fail-fast: if the list is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own remove or add methods, the iterator will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.Any pointers on where I could look or how I could I move from here ?
Another question I had was, there is no efficient way to 'move' objects in an arraylist (based on their indexes), isn't it ?
I always have to remove and add at a certain index.

Remove object from Linkedlist?

Hello,
I built this function to return the object with the lowest cost variable, and remove this object from the linkedlist.
The method does not always seem to return the object with the lowest cost. I wondered if the problem was because I removed the object being returning?
Could anyone see the problem?
Thanks
Node lowestState(LinkedList list){
Node object = (Node) list.get(0);
int index = 0, cost = object.getCost();
for(int i = 1; i < list.size(); i++){
object = (Node) list.get(i);
int testCost = object.getCost();
if(testCost < cost){
cost = testCost;
index = i;
list.remove(index);
return object;
}

get() must traverse the links until it finds the given one.
So get() behaves O(n), like the whole traversal.
import java.util.*;
public class llt {
static LinkedList li = new LinkedList();
static int LIMIT=64*1024;
public static void main(String args[]) {
     for(int i=0;i<LIMIT;i++) li.add(new Integer(i%7 * (i%3) + (i%5)));
     for(int k=0;k<4;k++) doit();
static void doit() {
int i;
int sum=0;
long t0=System.currentTimeMillis();
     for(i=0;i<li.size();i++) {
          sum += ((Integer) li.get(i)).intValue();
long t1=System.currentTimeMillis();
     for(ListIterator lii =li.listIterator(0);lii.hasNext();) {
          sum -= ((Integer) lii.next()).intValue();
long t2=System.currentTimeMillis();
     System.out.println((t2-t1) + " " + (t1-t0) + " " + sum);

Need to remove movie from video list

Hi, I imported a movie into my iTUnes 6 video list and I want to remove it. I put it up there as a test and I even deleted the file but the thumbnail is still up there on teh screen with my other videos. THis isnt a major deal but jsut kind of annoying.
I tried right-clicking and going up to the menu but i saw nothing abotu removing. Cut was grayed out so it wasnt an option. Is there a setting i need to change to give me manual control or something?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I had some old Rocketboom.com videos on my hard drive that I didn't know I had. When I updated to iTunes 6.0 it added these videos to my iTunes library. The problem is that the files had a read-only attribute set. Windows/XP OS. Since the files have read-only permission, iTunes won't allow me to delete the files. So I deleted the videos manually from the OS, unfortunately iTunes still won't let me delete the video from iTunes, even though the videos no longer exist. UGH! iTunes does ask me if I want to "browse" and find the file. I tried pointing the library to a file that was deleteable, but iTunes still thinks the file is protected and won't let me delete the file. I'm stumped. I can't think of way to delete all these files from my iTunes video library. We may have to wait for the next update. I hope it's not too long in coming.
