Remove an object from video frames

Post by ctscar190 »

I have taken a short video of a man sitting at a table. There is no movement but the man is talking. A little bit of the microphone can be seen. I tried to take the video into Paintshop Pro X3 to remove this object with smart carver. Is there a way to edit this video so that unwanted objects can be removed from the frames. I have Paintshop Pro X3 on this computer, and PhotoImpact on another computer. Can either of these programs be used to remove objects from frames.? Thank you.

Hi

Assuming the camera is static, then take a Snapshot of a frame, preferably in Project Playback mode

1 / Using Paint Shop use the Clone Tool to remove the Mic.
2 / Using the Erase Tool remove the entire frame with the exception of the Cloned Mic area. Maybe feather the edges?
Most of the image now being transparent.
3 / Save as PNG
4 / Add image to overlay track, below the original video-- fit to screen
