single frame white out
I have some footage that I have found there are a number of instances where a single frame “white’s out ” the screen. While this doesn’t happen on a regular basis (thank the lord harry) I’m looking for an editing solution, please?
The best I’ve come up with so far is to grab an image of the frame before and then insert this to ‘bridge’ the white out.
Is there a better way of achieving a solution, please? I’m open to all…
Regards,
Lawrence

What’s the source of the footage and are you sure it’s in the originals?
I take it you can’t cut around them?

A complicated but potentially nice looking solution would be to try optical flow retiming to generate a new frame.
I guess you would need to create a compound clip containing a couple of frames around the white offending frame. Cut out the white frame and then apply a 50% slowmo using Optical Flow to the compound. Trim down the compound and use it to replace the offending frame.
I haven’t tried this myself so the process may be a bit more convoluted, but in theory it should work. 😉

Jeremy,
I believe that this is going to be the most expedient, currently. It’s a single frame and from what I can tell, if I save the frame previous to the white one, and then import that and composite it over the a) white out section or B) (better?) cut out the frame as you mentioned and then composite over the top, the eye can barely tell there has been a change.
Better get compositing!
Thanks,
Lawrence

Stephen,
the optical flow solution is something which I can’t say that I’ve explored before but from what you write and from what I’ve read, since, this may be a viable solution. At the mo, I’m hellbent on getting the goods out the door but I will come back to this option, shortly.
Many thanks,
Lawrence
