Yes.

Yeah, let's get started.

Let's get started.

Our first sneak involves solving an annoying problem we all face involving flash and things blocking the camera.

Let's give a warm welcome to our first sneaks presenter,

Gabriel Huang with Project Clean Machine.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Are you guys excited for this?

Yeah, let's go.

So the other day, I spent an entire night trying to capture this beautiful time lapse of the Milky Way.

But when I checked the footage, I found some of the frame like this were ruined by flashes.

So I went back home and opened it up in Photoshop and tried to save my clip.

Well, I can use Lasso Tool to select one sparkle flash, and then I can use Content-Aware Fill to remove it.

But remember, I need to do this for every single sparkle flash and for every single frame that contains a flash.

This is really tedious, and I'm already getting bored.

So I went ahead.

Yeah.

So I went ahead and invented this new technology, introducing Project Clean Machine.

So wait, let me show you how it worked first.

First, you will automatically detect all the flashes in the video.

And then, with just a click, it will remove all of them, leaving you with this clean and smooth start of the Milky Way.

And let's take a closer look at one frame and see how perfectly Project Clean Machine removed all those flashes.

Wow.

Pretty cool, right?

All right, but for this case, if you're more patient than me, you can still do this in Photoshop using Content-Aware Fill.

It's not a big deal, just a matter of time.

But this is not true for all the cases.

Let me show you what I mean.

Well, let's take a look at this.

What a beautiful, stunning moment.

And again, some of the frame like this were ruined by flash.

And if you take a closer look, you can see that there are a lot of flashes that were ruined by flash.

And if you take a closer look, the explosion of the firework completely overexposed the frame.

And there's no way that you can use Content-Aware Fill to fix this.

Well, let's use Project Clean Machine.

First, detect, and then remove.

All the flashes are gone.

Wow.

Well, let's go back to that frame and see.

Just look at this.

Oh, wow.

Just look at this.

You see?

Project Clean Machine not only removed the flash, it also recovered all the details in this overexposed area.

This is amazing, right?

Yeah.

All right.

You know, for those two cases, since only a few frames were affected, you can probably just drop them, delete them.

You wouldn't end up with a very choppy video.

But what if you have a video like this?

You see?

Nearly half of the frames all contain flashes.

And you can't just drop them.

Otherwise, half of the video will be chopped off.

So let's use Project Clean Machine.

You know the drill.

First, detect, and then remove.

Just within a few seconds, all those flashes are gone.

Yes!

All right, I have one last example to show you guys.

You guys ready?

Yeah?

All right, let's go.

So Project Clean Machine is not only limited to removing flashes.

It can actually be used for something else.

So for this case, you see there was a person walking in front of the camera and blocked the view, right?

I can use Project Clean Machine to remove this person.

I just need to select all the frames that were affected.

And then with just a click, and the person is gone.

Wow.

Wow.

And I mean, look at this frame.

Even though a tiny portion of it was visible, it was able to recover to the rest of it, right?

OK, there we have it.

With Project Clean Machine, nothing can get in the way of your perfect shot.

Thank you.

Love it.

Thank you.
