A clean-up video is a cleanup of unnecessary details or blunders made by the film crew. What can go wrong on set? Yes all. For example, most often the stick of the sound engineer will get into the frame or the opera itself will appear in the reflection of the mirror. There may be less noticeable errors. For example, there is shooting a film about the Soviet Union, and you have double-glazed windows or modern parking meters in the frame, then they need to be removed. That’s exactly what clinpers do. They clean up the video in such a way as to discreetly remove unwanted elements. Clean-up video is a fairly simple operation, but it requires perseverance and care from the engineer.
In fact, you need to be able to notice small details, and then mercilessly destroy them. In this case, the viewer should not notice the distortion of the video and should think that it was filmed that way. Remember, in Photoshop there was such a tool as a stamp. In fact, there is a similar tool for video, the simplest one, which is used by cleaners. You remove detail while copying the adjacent part of the frame with blurring around the edges. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it with the repetition of the same copied piece of video. Otherwise, you will have a checkerboard effect, when an imperceptible change becomes even more noticeable.
Cleanup in After Effects
Video cleaning can be done in various programs, but since the most popular among creators today is the package from Adobe, we will talk about the cleanup in After Effects. So, what is the advantage of this particular program? Firstly, we have at hand tools for working with both video and images at the same time. In fact, we indicate to the program the state between two points, and it itself calculates the changes. If we specified changes by mask in one frame and in another, then the program itself can calculate the average frames and you don’t have to do anything. Well, that is almost nothing.
It is enough to check whether the program worked correctly and correct the mask if the changes were non-linear. Ready. But that’s not all. Since this is a single system, Premier Pro, After Effects, it will exchange intermediate results, and you will see the changes online. We saved the changes in one program, and opened the second. This allows you to more accurately track your progress. For example, you are editing a small element and can immediately check how it fits into a large project that is open in Premier Pro at the same time. In general, if you order video production and editing services, then you definitely need to order a cleanup.
Cleanup at DaVinci
If you work with a Blackmagic camera and often do your own color grading, then you will most likely be doing a cleanup in DaVinci. In principle, there are no differences where exactly to do the cleaning, since the scheme of work will be similar. The question will only be how convenient it is for you to work in a particular system. You decide this already separately from the cleanup itself. I will only note that the DaVinci Resolve complex is developing quite quickly and is saturated with various useful functions. Therefore, if you already know how to work in it, then it will not be difficult for you to learn additional functionality.
