    I think the only realistic way of doing that in a way that doesn’t flicker is to use a drone to make a 3D photogrammetry mapping of the statue and 3D track that back into the shot. Which is a lot more advanced than trying to just do some painting in after effects.

    I don’t think retouching or filtering the image frame by frame or with some filters will give a convincing result that fools the viewer.

    Thanks for reply, frame by frame correction is the best but longest way.

    I Did a 50% correction directly in FCPX with Color correction/ color mask and shape mask decreasing the exposure value on highlights (white spots and stains), looks better now.

    And it doesn’t flicker when you play it back ? That’s the hardest part…
