I needed to remove a fishing wire rig from the tree in the wind shot, however the clean image process wasn't going to work with this one as I would have needed a clean image for each frame due to the moving shadow across the floor. After some experimentation I realised I could paint out the rig in After FX, using the colour eyedropper tool to select the colour nearest to each section of the rig in paint a few pixels at a time.
Example of a section of the wire that has been painted:
The whole wire has been painted out:
This was a long and tedious process as I had to do it hundreds of times on each individual frame, but the outcome worked well in the moving image.
