Removing cranes from aerial footage

Mocha Pro
#1

Hi

I’m new to Mocha. I have been looking at tutorials online. Mocha Pro: Solving Complex Object Removes - YouTube but the planer tracking is giving me mixed results.

The shot is 250 frames and is 5.5k so is rather large and processor heavy so I would like guidance on which approach is most likely going to work?

Here are the start middle and end frames.

Hi Rueben,

This has a lot of parallax in the shot, so it isn’t a good candidate for the Mocha Pro Remove module. Have you considered using something like Silhouette for this type of shot? There’s a lot of hand paint that will have to be done for this much parallax.

Cheers,
Mary
