Wow. I just stumbled across this tutorial that demonstrates painting/cloning on video layers and the software's ability to track motion so the repairs move along with the image over time.
I don't have After Effects. I've done a bit of this type of thing by opening video in layers in Photoshop, painting or cloning the repair on each frame. At 60 frames per second that's pretty tiresome.
This single feature is enough to make me reconsider AE. Does anyone know if I'm overlooking a way to do this in either Premiere Elements 11 or perhaps in Photoshop, but if in PS, hopefully easier?
thanks,
Paz

There's a reason After Effects is the industry standard, Paz. And features like this are part of it.
There are probably ways to do this in Premiere Elements -- but they'd involve complicated matte work and keyframing. For these types of effects and fixes, After Effects is definitely worth the investment.

Photoshop is pretty much frame by frame as you've been doing. Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro don't have a corresponding capability, but you can, as Steve points out, use matte work and key frames to overlay a portion of an image. None are as simple as using After Effects. After Effects is even better than what that tutorial showed. Instead of using manual key frames, you can track the spot using the built-in tracker and apply the tracked positions to the brush.
The author left that out of that tutorial as he was planning on covering tracking in a subsequent tutorial. See these two tutorials:

The tracking in AE does a very good job. It is best to find high contrast areas for your points.

Thanks for the extra videos, Bob.
Oh, I am sooooooo tempted!
Cheryl,
Makes sense. Thanks.

Premiere Elements can do some spot and blemish removal by using the Drop Shadow effect. I've also used it to change eye color. You need to change the color of the drop shadow so it blends in with the subject. Unfortunately, there isn't motion tracking anymore in Premiere Elements 11, so you will be doing the keyframming manually.

I can resist anything except temptation. AE installed and ready to intimidate me. It seems so many things I struggled to attempt in PreEl is not only possible, but relatively easy in AE. Tired of
