Wire removal via mask track
I’m wondering if there is a plugin for AFX CS4 that would allow me to follow a wire with an animated, open path then use that path as the location for pixel replacement. I’ve tried CC Simple Wire removal and a couple other options, but these are meant for straight wires that don’t move very much. I’m trying to paint out a dangling microphone wire and it’s becoming very complicated very quickly.
Any help is appreciated.

Furnace for After Effects has been discontinued as of May 2007.
I don’t think there is a b-spline plugin (one that curves for AE anymore)
You’ll need to use Commotion or Foundry’s Furnace F_WireRemoval or something else for that.
Commotion curves can be exported and imported into After Effects.You can also use mocha to create b-splines then use effect, time displacement to fill in from an adjacement frame

I forgot to add, if time displacement cannont find a clean frame, you can also use bend in conjunction with cc wire removal.
as an example, open the effects control of the project file and enable the last 4 plugins, the curved blue hair will magically disappear from the background. cc bender unwraps the curve then cc wire removes it and finally picture is un-bended. The mocha b-spline can then act as a mask because stretching causes a little softening. Also, in this special case, a rough mask might work too.

Thanks. I’ll give that a shot and see where I get.
