Morphing frames together to salvage laggy footage – (PT Framerestorer)
Hello,
I shot a film on the bmpcc and used an incompatible SD cards (long story short) resulting in laggy footage, with sometimes 1 frame frozen over 1-2 seconds. I want to fix it by morphing the frozen frames together on after effects, and found a script called PT framerestorer that helps me do that.
PT FrameRestorer lets you select markers in your footage and will keep only the frames at the markers and morph during the between times.
However, for the purpose of my film I want to only morph the images where the frames have frozen and keep the frames moving where it’s still at 24 fps. Any advice on how I could do that?
Thank you so much

Hello Dave,
Thanks for your quick response. The problem lies in the fact that the SD card could not record at the required speed, therefore I have many frames that get stuck, resulting in a video that is constantly freezing and jumping for small amounts of time. How would you recommend I use Handbrake?
Thanks,

I would only do this if it was just one shot, critical to the movie, impossible to reshoot, had a maximum of five places where there were 1-3 frames missing. And it might still take days to get it right for that one shot.

Actually, looking at ptFrameRestorer, you mark the frames you want to restore, rather than those you want to keep, so theoretically does what you want. Realistically, it will only be able to do just so much — perhaps a frame or two — as it uses the TimeWarp effect to try and rebuild the frames. Don’t know about the compatibility with current versions, but worth a try in some cases I guess.
