Good use case for Silhouette Paint (also not Flame solution, though can run as an OFX node inside Batch).
Presumably the content underneath lensflare is available in neighboring frames. Si Paint allows you to apply a color correct (exposure, gamma, sat, etc.) to each paint stroke, as well as a transform and blur. And you don’t need to make patches, you can just modify source frame on the fly.
So frame by frame:
- Find frame to left/right that has original content unobscured. Set as reference frame.
- Go back to paint frame, use blend/transparency and keyboard shortcuts to align, defining offsets
- Adjust exposure if needed to account for lighting change
- Clone content
Rinse/repeat. Sounds slow, but once you have it down and the right keyboard shortcuts you can fly through it, and it will be nice high quality.
If luck is with you, and the offset and movement is pretty consistent, you could track the spot and auto-paint it in, then go back and fix shots that are off.
Clone brush parameters…
- Frame is the frame number of source frame (can differ from current, can be relative or absolute)
- Offset/Scale/Rotate is applied to brush stroke between source and destination
Color Grade applied to brush strokes…
