How Recent 'AI' Breakthroughs Are Transforming Moving Image Restoration

Psychotropic Films has been using VIVA restoration software by Algosoft-Tech to assist in the restoration of The Trail to Yesterday (1918) a silent era nitrate film that has been transferred to digital for the restoration process.  

This lecture by Algosoft-Tech was recorded at "The Reel Thing" technical conference in Hollywood this past August and there is a small scene from The Trail to Yesterday in the lecture that shows how the software working in cleaning artifacts, scratches, dirt, fading and stabilization issues with scanned film and video.  

See 35:45min for the section showing the application of the software to our current restoration project.
