Need to get rid of something in a shot? Object removal is a common VFX task.
it can help tell your story by removing things that don’t fit in the video. There are several ways to accomplish this in Resolve.
Because drone footage tends to have a nice ground plane visible, using the planar tracker as described in this video can help you get a great track and make using the paint tools very easy for removing a static object.
