wire removal in Motion

How possible this is depends greatly on the shot. Is it a locked down shot or does the camera move?

You could :

1) Make a copy of your footage and put it on top of the original
2) Take the beziertool and draw a shape about the size of your line on some other place in your copyfootage with similar color and look. You might have to feather it quite a bit.
3) Right click on your copy layer and select add mask - and select the beziershape you did as the mask (in the inspector)
4) Move the masked copyfootage on top of the line you want to remove to cover it.
5) Play around with feathering of the mask, maybe some colorcorrectionfilters, to make it blend together.
Its important to see the footage play in realtime to see if the two layers blend well together. It might take a bit of tweaking and experiments with picking the right spot to cover with - but it sound like your footage is worth it 🙂 Hope this could help you.

Good luck

Morten's suggestion is spot on. A slightly different way is to copy the layers. Slip the lower layer along a few frames (depends on how thick the wire is and its speed). Add your mask to the top layer - so revealing the layer beneath - and animate the mask. Add a touch of feathering and if your luck's in it might do the job.
