How the workflow works

Start with the original project when it is available. If reconstruction is needed, use the smallest area and shortest time range that contains the visible element.

What affects quality?

Camera movement, compression, scene cuts, detailed textures and subjects crossing the selected area all affect temporal consistency.

When should you use another method?

A clean re-export, source edit, crop, tracked patch or clean-plate composite may be more accurate depending on the shot.

A practical review checklist

Watch at normal speed, inspect difficult frames, confirm audio sync and keep the untouched source file.

Important distinction

AI reconstruction creates a plausible replacement from visible context. It does not recover pixels that were never visible in the source.

Choose the right workflow

Use the method that matches the video.

Start with a clean source or removable subtitle track when available; use AI reconstruction only for visible pixels that need repair.
