rawFilm

a program to restore old films to look like they’ve been taken by a modern day digital camera

currently ive made a command line interface and worked a little bit on the actual video fixing. Ive made background flicker fixing and i would show some examples but the video im using as a test is really long and i cant be bothered to get a smaller video haha

anyway im gonna add in some video jitter fixes and denoising to remove the film grain

and then MAYBE colorizing as an option but i assume it would be slow

also i forgot to add but i HAVE implemented a FFmpeg thing to convert the video to an image sequence and then use pillow to edit it.

Started coding a command line interface.

Gotta actually make the program do its job but heres the plan:

use Pillow to take the images, find the general brightness of the image and then tone up or down the rest of the images to have the same levels of brightness as the middle frame or a different frame if you choose

then maybe a bit later I’ll add some line detection if its a cartoon to extract the lines and colors if a video is like REALLY bad

but yeah :D it’ll be cool
