Is there a software that can or can be trained to automatic remove logos in photos or video? I assume no, but thought I'd ask anyway. Because who knows.

Not automatic. however, you can put a keyframed mask over the logo, copying the new contents from elsewhere.

Here is one short video showing how -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTXpF-hkIF8&feature=youtu.be

For a still photo, I manually clone it out in Photoshop. Only takes a minute or so. Never tried to automate it.

Can't say about a video, however.

Well, there is software that can blur faces and license plates, so I'm sure it can be trained to blur logos too. But I'm not sure it's accessible to us mere mortals...

Best thing is to learn how to do it manually, like most things. I mean, not even "Auto Contrast" or "Auto White Balance" really works...

For photos it shouldn't take more than a few seconds, but of course video is much trickier, and can be frustrating, especially if your camera moves. After Effects does the trick though, and it's worth learning if you're serious about video.

First reading the question, i thought it as a fishy question, remove logos and use third party image. Duh!

Nothing new or innovative, just for the record, perhaps the easier way is the desicion to be made while shooting if logos appear, getting them are out of frame or focus etc.

IncreasingDifficulty, you justify your nickname!

Premiere blurring automated masking on moving subject also do the job (perhaps) with less resources needed than AE

Well, I suppose everything is difficult at first.

I absolutely can't stand Premiere, and it crashes frequently (where After Effects pretty much never crashes). And while Premiere certainly can do many of the things AE can do, AE was built for this kind of stuff.

I will admit that when I first opened AE, it was very confusing and overwhelming. Now I find it to be easier than Premiere to use. But yes, probably slower...
