user36426: I am in the process of doing post-production work for some footage filmed on an insta360 pro 2. In a great deal of these videos there are these annoying red dots from lens flare that can bee seen in this image on the right and left.

I have tried to look up what to do about something like this but found only information on removing dust particles in AE.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to deal with this, is it something that I as an amateur would be able to do or are there extensions for this?
I have AE and I am willing to put in the work of learning how to deal with it, but I simply cant find any good information on this.
thanks kindly.


user4426: I would try using clone stamp or content aware fill to replace them.
You may need to track them first using a single point motion tracker, apply the track to a null, then parent your clone to that null.
Or go nuts and whack a great big lens flare on there instead :)
