Want to remove something from your video—like a photobomber, a random sign, or cluttered background elements? With LTX Studio’s Remove Object tool, you can quickly erase unwanted objects and create clean, distraction-free shots without compromising quality.

For video editors, content creators, and filmmakers, object removal used to be a tedious manual process. But now, tools like this streamline and simplify the once time-consuming task of fine-tuning details in post-production. 

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to remove unwanted objects from video, step by step. Whether you need to remove people from your video, or simply clean up your background, we’ll review how to use this tool to expedite your workflow.

Why Remove Objects from Video?

If you’ve never needed to remove objects from a video, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Most filmmakers, editors, and creators of all kinds run into moments where something does not belong—and those small oversights can lead to costly, time-consuming fixes. Creators need viewers to stay fully immersed—whether they’re making an ad or a short film, it’s critical to eliminate disruptions that break the narrative flow. A continuity issue or an unexpected passerby introduces video clutter that can pull audiences out of the moment. 

Historically, the standard solution for removing unwanted objects was rotoscoping, a manual frame-by-frame editing process. While functional, rotoscoping is incredibly time-intensive and demands a tedious, highly skilled workflow. In fact, complex object removal can take hours—or even days—and is often assigned to specialized VFX teams rather than handled by the editor themselves. Enter LTX Studio, which leverages AI-powered tools to automate and streamline this process without sacrificing quality.

How to Remove an Object From a Video: A Step-by-Step Guide

LTX Studio condenses what used to take hours into just minutes. Here’s how to remove an object from your video with precision using the Remove Object tool:

Step 1: Open the Motion Generator    

You can remove objects in LTX Studio’s platform in this way:

From your Storyboard:

1. Navigate to the shot where the unwanted object appears.
2. Hover over the frame to reveal the “Tools” icon in the top-right corner.
3. Click the icon and select “Remove Object” from the dropdown menu.
   ‍

Step 2: Select the Object  

1. Click on the object you want to erase—this could be a logo, person, background sign, or object.
2. Drag your cursor to highlight the area you want to remove. (Tip: Use the brush size slider at the bottom of the frame to adjust precision! A larger brush helps remove large objects faster, while a smaller brush allows detailed touch-ups!)

   ‍

Step 5: Preview and Adjust  

1. Zoom in to review the shot and inspect edges for distortion.
