Deoldify Vapoursynth filter

[Dan64]

Despite the unfortunate results obtained with Deep Remaster, I'm very happy for the results obtained with DeepEx.

In one of my first attempt to colorize a movie I tried to colorize the movie "The Thing (1951)", but I was not happy with the result obtained.

For this movie was available also a colored VHS version, but was a very low resolution version and was about 6min shorter.

Comparing the colored version with the version obtained using (at that time) DeOldify I decided to keep only the B&W remastered version in HD.

But now thanks to DeepEx I was able to colorize perfectly the HD remastered copy, obtaining the same colors.

To do that, I exported the (synced) colored version using a frequency of 2 frames, and then I used DeepEx (with external RF same as video) to color the HD version.
DeepEx was able to perfectly apply the colors despite the difference is resolution and that the frames were not always perfectly in sync.

Here an example:

Low resolution colored frame



And here the HD frame colored with DeepEx.



Unfortunately is very uncommon that for a old movie are available both a low resolution colored version and a HD remastered version in B&W.

But in this case DeepEx is the only filter being able to use successfully this combination.
