(You'll need to scroll down to the section titled "Difference Matte Effect" for a description.) It will find a difference between the frame without the person, and the frames with a person and remove areas that are the same, leaving only the difference (in this case the person). As linked, After Effects has such a tool. Many other video editors have it as well.</p>

  If you have a frame where the person does not exist, you can use a tool called a [difference matte](https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/keying-effects.html). (You'll need to scroll down to the section titled "Difference Matte Effect" for a description.) It will find a difference between the frame without the person, and the frames with a person and remove areas that are the same, leaving only the difference (in this case the person). As linked, After Effects has such a tool. Many other video editors have it as well.

  Final Cut Pro X has a plugin called [Pro Removal](http://store.pixelfilmstudios.com/product/proremoval/) that can remove moving things from the scene on fixed camera shots.
  
  Also [there is a tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWv1XFrrTQ) for After Effects that shows how remove objects from scene using the tracker.
  
  Also you can clean frame by frame using Photoshop or similar if you have a good amount of time to spend or a crew to help you in the task.
