    Could you post an example of your problem.
    It’s sounds complicated…

    If you have AE6.5 with Cycore Effects, and if the scratch is not TOO wide, you can use CC Wire Removal to smear the adjoining pixels, which will make the scratch less obvious. This will still require a fair bit of work to animate the movement of the scratch, as the dirt/hair that caused it moves around in the camera gate. Otherwise, dependng on the footage and it’s composition, and if the scratch is on an extreme side of the footage, you could re-telecine the footage and adjust the scanned frame area to not include the scratch.

    hey,

    are the scratches during the hole clip, or are just some frames damaged? if some frames are damaged try this way: duplicate your footage and place it under of your original layer, nodes whatever. move the duplicated layer about 1-3 frames in time (or more it depends on the movement of your footage). now you can paint, mask the area of scratches out, because you are looking throw your orgiginal layer to the duplicated. it depends on your footage how good this will work.

    greets jan
