Did you ever see Rising Sun (1993)?
Part of its plot was tied to video editing. I doubt there were special tools at the time but the techniques may be similar in terms of capturing enough frames of background to clear out the subject, and then overlay with the replacement with aid of greenscreen. Would be interesting if there was automated ways to do tbis beyond manual frame by frame
For reference, heres a point in the trailer of an alteration
Sean Connery 🥹
No I havent the only other movie I saw in similarity to video editing specifically was called Wag The Dog with Robert De Nero. It was a movie about the government using hollywood to produce fake videos so they could start a war to steal their oil & if I recall correctly there was a political sex scandal they covered up. But I think that was 1997 so using greenscreens was shown there. It was a good movie I think software really leaped forward during 2002-2004 maybe?
