The Doctor Who restoration team had a fantastic frame interpretation process. But if it is one frame, that would be easy enough to do in Photoshop. I looked and I didn’t see it. What is the GOUT frame number?
Still, much easier to do pull that off when emulating a 405-line video tape with an even lower quality 16mm telerecording as your source. Getting an HD film transfer to look as good with automated interpolation is surely trickier?
Actually, a lot of the ones they were working on, particularly the latest two story finds, were full PAL 625 line video telecined at 25 fps to 16 mm film and scanned in full 1080 HD.
Getting off topic, but yes. A minority of 60s episodes from Enemy onwwards (and the find confirmed that it was actually a few episodes earlier than documented!) it was 625 line on 16mm. HD scans are good for cleanup, but it’s still presented as 576i MPEG2. 😃 The point still stands though that in that case they’re trying to make it look like an SD interlaced video and it’s surely more forgiving.
To some extent, but now that I see the spot and can look at the level of detail, that is just the type of missing frame the the process is designed for. Most of the frame is static, Han’s hand and the soldiers below, plus some small details in the background, barely move at all. The DW Restoration team used it for big action in the center of the screen. Considering the different level of detail, the scale of detail is at least comparable.
