It looks like you need to add a feathered region to the overridden
colors.  That is, when combining two images' colors, make a new map
which is 0 for "use the credibility ratio to blend this pixel" and 1 for
"use only the most credible source for this pixel".  Then gaussian blur
this map, and double any number (so that the 1s stay 1 but the 0s are
gradually blended up to it).  Then use that as a ratio between the
credibility mix and the overridden mix.

I can mock up a manually contrived example of what I'm talking about. 
The extra step would be optional for smoother edit-outs, but left as
Bruno proposed for speed.
