A couple of weeks will clean a few seconds of film.

Argh - forgive my frustration here, but this vague, grammatically-challenged proclamation doesn't even address my question, it just re-states what I already said - in essence, "This is taking a long time."

My question is: WHY does it take a couple of weeks? I'm curious as to why it's taking so long, that's all.

Since physically cleaning a few frames takes less than 1 second, we must be talking about digital cleanup.

I'm a digital media guy, so I'm having a hard time understanding why it would take someone with a modern computer *weeks* to do anything. Photoshop, After Effects - is the "team" using these? If not, why not?

Am I grossly oversimplifying?! Probably!
