They're in all the shots because they were closest to him.

Jesus, this is the most embarrassing bullshit this site has fallen for since the fake BLM tweet.

anyone disputing this is a shill. The editing job is like 1970s bad, there is no denying its a composited video.

You know fuck all about video compositing.

It would be virtually impossible to combine the elements present in this video. The camera movement would have to be motion controlled on Biden, the BG, and the reporters at the end.

You see what you want to see.

look whos talking. You can mask out any object you want and apply motion stabilization, resize, whatever you want.

Now, its hard to do well, which is exactly why this amateur attempt looks so hinky.

Yeah. I don’t know how much experience the person you are communicating with has, but the shit that can be faked at this point is endless. It is hard to do...well. But yes, you can change perspective over time now with After Effects and have it match cameras from different sources that have different variables. Hell, it’s what most of the latest tutorials for After Effects are about. I just went through a bunch.

Not when the fucking camera is panning, tilting and zooming in and out. If all these elements were shot separately, you need to know everything from the distance of the subject to the lens, the height of the lens, the lens length, which are all changing in the shot, and have a motion control rig to perfectly repeat each action for each pass, or else the change in perspective would make everything look like it's sliding around independently and warping. You can't just take a bunch of elements and fit it all together in post without very careful consideration of all those elements. I have a diploma in film production; I know what can be achieved convincingly and what it would take to do so. So you can miss me with your "whatever you want" bullshit.

Edit: Oh look! Here's a picture of Trump with the press showing how close the mics get to the subject:

And an alternate angle of Biden showing the compression of the lens in the Hill footage (notice the grey mic is actually 2 or 3 ft to his right):

So are you saying its virtually impossible which is why it glitched or that it is perfectly normal video since it would be impossible to fake?

Forgetting about Biden's hands for a second, It would be impossible to combine all the other elements in the scene and have it be consistent and believable due to the variation of things like subject to camera distance, changing the lens length and shot composition. Not to mention doing all that with two different cameras as we can see footage from both WaPo and The Hill.

The reason people are confused is because they think the mics are smaller than they are and closer to the camera than they are. This is because shooting on a long lens flattens the image and makes it difficult to determine the distances of elements in the scene.So if the image is flattened and the mic is actually bigger than one might think, it would look like the mic is between the camera and his hands when it is really between Biden and his hands, which can be confirmed in the WaPo footage.

Anybody trying to tell you it can be done in After Effects doesn't know the complications involved in doing everything BUT Biden's "hand glitch" to make it look convincing.

It is a trick of perspective caused by a lens probably between 50mm and 70mm.

Its absolutely impossible for a object to appear through an opaque object. And you'd think, that having something like 80 or so years of video footage you'd have something like this happen while not actually being any editing tricks specifically attempting to get the desired result.

These aren't reporters holding a small mic at arm's length. Those are big boom mics on boom poles scooping to the point of almost touching Biden's blazer to get as close to the source as possible. The long lens used flattens the image and makes it hard to perceive the distances correctly. Watch the alternate angle.
