  1. Is there such a thing? I know this can be done on still images.
    What about removing objects? Like a pitcher sitting on a floor or a person walking in the background. The video does not have a stationary background.
    What about blurring an object in the scene that is moving around?

    Sometimes it's possible with variable success - sometimes it works great, other times utter failure. Success depends on the shot characteristics

    e.g. Adobe Content Aware Fill (for video in AE) is probably the most commonly used one. Propainter is interesting too and sometimes works better but more difficult to use (but it's free)

    Not completely automatic because user has to input masks to mark inclusion/exclusion areas - usually some rotocoping or rotobrush involved if you want it accurate and it can be tedious . Motion tracking is usually used to reduce the amount of user work - eg. if you wanted to blur or remove a moving object, you would track the object first

    Depending on the shot, a moving tattoo might be easier/faster/better to remove using "traditional" methods - motion tracking and composited layers as a video "patch" repair . eg. Mesh trackers (such as lockdown for AE) because skin and tattoo deforms when you move (depending on where tattoo is located). Most publically availible "AI" models will not have skin deformation as part of their training, so if it non linear, non standar motion, the fill area will not look quite right, or you need to do a lot of manual fixing after
