Nuke Clean Plate Techniques: How To Remove Objects From Footage Like A Pro

In this Short I show 2 practical ways to make a clean plate in Nuke:

• Method 1 — Roto + RotoPaint: paint a clean background from a single frame (best for static backgrounds).
• Method 2 — Multi-frame sampling: use nearby frames, track and reproject background patches (best when background is revealed across frames).

Nodes used: Read, Roto, RotoPaint, Merge, Transform/Tracker, Blur, Grade, Grain.
