Quick way to clean up fluff from tshirt

Flame Flame Questions

Hi all. I have four shots of talent where he’s doing a video diary kind of thing and he moves around/walks a lot while talking and holding the camera. He has a lot of white fluff all over his black T-shirt. The client wants me to try clean it up. Is there a really quick and painless way to just generally smoothen up his T-shirt and get rid of this white fluff, perhaps using the Body extraction ML node. They don’t have the budget for me to paint out and track each fluff but would be interested to know of any blanket fx I could maybe use?

Thank you!

NeatVideo. Works wonders.

Also if it’s black, you can probably get away with a median matchbox.

Or key the fluff and use InfillBlur.

If the t-shirt color and the fluff are close enough you could also try Relax.

Maybe Ls-Dilate on the black tshirt - would still need a rough key though.

Many people have had good luck using Crok-Beauty for many things not considered beauty. It might work well if the fluff is small.

Motion vectors have gotten me through shirt-related pain in the past.

This is me. I abuse crok_beauty for all sorts of things it wasn’t necessarily intended for. It’s awesome.

Thanks a lot everyone for your suggestions. I ended up using Median Matchbox as per @Sinan suggestion and it worked well. Used Human Body extraction ML to isolate.
