Lens Spot correction using AE 6.0
Hi,
I am trying to correct a shot (shot in HD Cam) where there is a tilt down on blue sky but unfortunately there is a spot on the lens. Spot is clearly visible and I’m trying to avoid using PSD and painting each frame.
Shot is for broadcast, edited on Media 100.
All PAL using Macs
Thanks in advance

Try this if the spot is small: Duplicate the footage layer, and hide the bottom layer. Draw a mask around the spot, isolating it. Move the mask to the left or right, until it is isolating a clean bit of footage. Now make the bottom layer visible. Nudge the top layer back to the left, so the masked clean area (above) covers the spot below. Run a RAM preview and check.
It’s like cloning, but involves no frame-by-frame stuff.

You can try our RE:Fill product ($99.95), which is a plugin set designed to solve this kind of problem. You simply paint a matte once for where the spot is, and then provide that to RE:Fill to fill in the hole based on surrounding pixel colors at each frame. Try our demo, available here: https://www.revisionfx.com/rfil.htm . Make sure to look for the short HTML manual which is put on your disk with the plugins upon installation.
