Removing person from wedding video

Removing the photographer from a wedding video with Adobe After Effects.

The Photographer followed the bride down the aisle taking pictures.  I wanted the footage withOUT the photographer in it.

I brought the shot into Adobe Effects.
I placed a piece of video that didn’t have the photographer UNDER the footage with the photographer. Then I used the ellipse tool to mask the bride and inverted it…. so that the bride was floating over footage with out the photographer.

Then I added an ADJUSTMENT LAYER with auto color and brightness / contrast…

then I added a second adjustment layer and played with the HUE& SATURATION to make the footage look better,

The video is also slowed down 1 percent ( Time stretch 101%) and converted from 30 frames per second to 23.97 frames per second,  to make it look more “cinematic”
