Basically, I want to remove the glass reflections from the footage that I shot from the helicopter. Can anyone please help me out here? I know masking wont come to the rescue in this case. I have searched online but couldn't find anything remotely to resolve this issue.

Hi. I recently found an article about glass reflections in videos that helped me a lot. It has a ton of tips on how to fix it and how to avoid this problem in the future.

It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to read.

This is impossible.

If filming through glass when possible hold lens flat against glass to avoid reflection.

If it was a still image, you could spend half an hour clone-stamping every pixel affected by a reflection.

If it's a video, you either do the same, frame by frame, or accept it's impossible.

I don't think that's something you can fix in post, which is why most productions film from outside the aircraft.

Thanks Jim Simon, @dave merchant and @Ann Bens for the quick response. Filming from outside the heli was not possible owing to high altitude conditions. I tried to hold my camera close to the glass as long as possible but owing to the high altitude and windy conditions, some footage had these reflections. Anyways, thank you folks for clearing my doubts.

Have a great day everyone!!

Thanks,

Rajesh
