Balancing inpainting cadence in video: more frequent inpaints mean less smear but more hectic detail

Digital artist pixlpa shares experiments with disocclusion inpainting and regeneration cadences in video: more frequent inpaints are less obvious but produce more hectic detail, while sparser cadences keep things clean but introduce a jarring rhythmic element. The work is finding the right balance between smear trails and that jarring rhythm. Mat Dryhurst shared it approvingly.
