Original - Damaged Frames Replacement - Restored Frames

👶That's Me!

Uses

  • Recreate several adjacent damaged or missing frames

How it works

  1. Drag and drop, or click to upload Frame Before Replacement Frames and Frame After Replacement Frames PNG files
  2. Set Frames to Restore to the exact number of needed replacement frames for accurate timing
    • Frame Search Times shows the fractional search times for the recreated frames
  3. Set Search Precision per the desired timing accuracy
    • Low is faster but can lead to repeated or poorly-timed frames
    • High produces near-perfect results but takes a long time
    • Frame Search Times shows a warning if Search Precision is set too low
  4. Predicted Matches shows estimates for the frame times based on Frames to Restore and Search Precision
    • Actual found frames may differ from predictions
  5. Click Restore Frames
  6. The Animated Preview panel will show a GIF of the original and restored frames
  7. The Download box gives access to
    • Animated GIF
    • ZIP of restored frames
    • TXT report

Important

  • Provide only CLEAN frames adjacent to the damaged ones

Understanding Frame Restoration

Example: Recreating 2 Missing Frames:

  • B is the last good frame before, and A is the first good frame after the missing frames
    • B---?---?---A
  • Replacement frame X is 1/3 of the way between frames A and D
    • B---X-------A
  • Replacement frame Y is 2/3 of the way between frames A and D
    • B-------Y---A
  • Frame Search divides down to precisely timed frames
    • In this case, reaching precisely 1/3 and 2/3 is not possible
    • Search Precision is used to trade off time for the accuracy
