Wire removal tips?
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 6:02 pm
Hello. Casual fusion user here. I have to do some wire removal. I found the wire removal function of the paint tool to be a little lackluster :-/ Was hoping for somehing akin to healing tool in photoshop, but alas. Also was hoping using optical flow for this purpose would be somewhat intuitive, but my limited experience as a compositor did not produce any immediate bright ideas.
The shot is a slow push in, slight telephoto lens, and there are patterns, objects and bokeh-balls in the background. The wire is not in tension throughout the shot, so it hangs/curves during beginning and end. Oh and the lighting is changing slightly. So not quite straight forward. Is camera projection and 3d tracking the way to go (in spite of light changing), or are there simpler methods?
Anyone know of a good tutorial or write-up on this topic?
Bonus question: Any chance the are there any modern magic or creative methods to track the actual wire (ie auto generate a spline?)? Has anyone invented such a tool yet?
