    are you looking for a plugin? AE doesn’t have much wire removal support besides roto and clone stamp brush support. But many films are made that way.

    Jonas –

    Try making one “clean” frame in photoshop and tracking it back into your scene instead of trying to paint it out frame by frame or by using a plugin. Maltaannon did a nice tutorial on this topic a while back.

    Additionally, You may find the first half of my “analyzing motion” tutorial helpful where I explain how to track a still image into a moving background plate.

    Finally, you might also want to check out Steve Wright’s article, Invisible Effects, in the creative cow library.

    thanks…but i forgot to mention some other problems too.
    its a dolly shot..the toy car ( withch was pulled with the wire) is moving and so the sharpness-level is changing too

    clone stamp or photoshop’s healing brush, used with alt key, will also copy the sharpening changes. This sounds like frame by frame rotoring.

    Can you upload a still image to evaluate the shot?
