Question 1

Why is Content Aware Fill not working in After Effects?

Accepted Answer

Common issues include using an unsupported After Effects version, not selecting a proper mask or layer, or working with pre-rendered footage. Make sure the Content-Aware Fill panel is open, your mask is closed, and your footage is compatible.

Question 2

Is Content Aware Fill available in all versions of After Effects?

Accepted Answer

No. Content Aware Fill was introduced in After Effects CC 2019 and is available in all later versions. It is not accessible in older versions or Adobe Premiere Pro.

Question 3

How long does Content Aware Fill take to render?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the duration of your clip, resolution, and system specs. A short 1080p clip may render in a few minutes, while a 4K video could take significantly longer. To speed things up, use proxies or limit the fill range.

Question 4

Can I use Content Aware Fill on moving objects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but results are better with stable backgrounds. For moving objects, combine Content Aware Fill with motion tracking or reference frames for better accuracy.

Question 5

What’s the difference between Content Aware Fill and Content Aware Scale?

Accepted Answer

Content Aware Fill removes unwanted elements from footage, while Content Aware Scale resizes layers without distorting important parts. They serve different creative purposes in After Effects.
