Microphone visible in top right-hand corner of frame
Hi
Like a fool I allowed my cam mike to dip into shot whils doing a wedding.
Is there a work around in AE 7.0 which will allow me to loose the mike?
Fortunately the background surrounding said mike is wall – so I hope i can loose the mike for synthetic wall..Regs

If it’s a flat-colored wall with no shadowing or other visible light-related sprays then the Clone Brush would work nicely. A faster workaround would be to scale up the footage and reposition it such that the mike gets pushed into the pasteboard area.

Letterboxing may be an option.

Create a duplicate layer of your shot, then make a small mask on the original layer where the mike is to make a ‘hole’ looking through to the duplicate layer below.
Move the dupe layer until a patch of wall without the mike is filling the hole.

Andy..
Many thanks for this..
I am getting somewhere here. However when I move the duplicate layer around all I see of the orignal layer is the mask of the mike.. nothing else remains!
So the one bit i wanted to be a “hole” has remained full of microphone if that makes sense..Regs

Try inverting the mask and/or swapping the layers over. Eventually you should see what you want.
