I have a mts file hi def video clip (1080i) from a canon vixia hf g10 that needs rotoscoping:
a group of dancers are on stage and a shoe has fallen off one of them onto the stage and I need to paint it out
there are about 30 seconds of video that needs to be fixed
the camera is on a tripod but pans around
Should I rotoscope this in photoshop or after effects?
I tried to do it in photoshop and have addition questions:
(1) what format should I export the video clip to? I was able to do it using quicktime file and jpeg2000 codec, but that's just a random pick. What's the best choice if I want a lossless compression?
(2) when I'm inside photoshop, I can clone out the shoe easily. Then, I want to copy that repaired area and paste it into the subsequent frames. The problem is the left and right arrow keys no longer nudges. They become go to previous and next frame, so it is very difficult to use the mouse to move the paste area a little bit.
I have not tried using AE because I've not rotoscoped in AE before. Does it have a clone stamp tool?
I know it has motion tracking which could possibly follow the shoe and cover it with a repaired image. Is there a tutorial on how to erase object that is stationery (but the camera is panning)?

Took about 10 seconds using Google.
