Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We specialize in historical Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and regional Indian films. We handle digital scans originating from 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, Betacam, U-matic, and vintage video tapes suffering from scratches, dust, gate weave, color fading, and vinegar syndrome.

Our digital pipeline repairs vertical emulsion scratches, optical dust, hair strands, chemical stains, water damage, frame jitter/weave, flicker caused by shutter variation, deinterlacing artifacts, and missing frames through temporal optical flow synthesis.

Yes. Film flicker caused by aging lights, developing chemical unevenness, or projector shutter variations is analyzed temporally to smooth exposure levels frame-by-frame without losing deliberate dramatic lighting shifts.

Yes. We apply multi-point sub-pixel stabilization to counteract mechanical gate weave and camera shake, preserving full framing without aggressive cropping or edge distortion.

Yes. We process VHS, S-VHS, Betamax, Betacam SP, and U-matic digital captures. Our pipeline eliminates horizontal tracking lines, chroma bleeding, dropouts, head-switching noise, and interlacing comb artifacts.

Yes. Our colorization process combines deep neural luminance models with human historical research. We analyze era-specific costume fabrics, architectural colors, skin tones, and production photographs to reconstruct natural, plausible colors. We avoid cartoonish saturation and ensure temporal consistency across all frames.

Modern neural super-resolution does not merely stretch pixels; it analyzes multiple consecutive frames to infer authentic fine textures such as hair strands, fabric weave, and architectural details. While it cannot invent information that never existed, it produces dramatic improvements in sharpness, noise suppression, and visual clarity ideal for modern 4K/8K displays.

Standard consumer software upscalers apply aggressive sharpening algorithms that create plastic-looking skin, heavy halo ringing around edges, and exaggerated noise. GenAI Studio uses custom temporal models paired with senior colorists who balance de-noising, edge stability, and organic grain synthesis.

Yes. We offer dedicated audio restoration. Using neural stem demixing and spectral repair, we eliminate 50Hz mains hum, optical track crackles, tape hiss, and room reverberation while boosting dialogue intelligibility and preparing stereo or 5.1 surround sound mixes.

Absolutely. Many studios and archives start by restoring a 30-second to 2-minute sample scene. This allows directors and producers to review the visual fidelity, grain balance, and color grading before commissioning a full-length feature.

Yes. You can provide a short 10-second to 30-second sample clip through our Request Quote page. Our technical team will inspect the damage characteristics and provide a detailed condition report alongside an indicative quote.

Turnaround depends on project scope. A standard 4K upscale and noise remaster typically takes 10 to 18 business days. Severe frame-by-frame scratch restoration and full black & white colorization usually takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on footage condition and manual QC stages.

Restoration pricing depends on footage duration, physical damage severity, source resolution, colorization requirements, and audio state. Simple 4K upscaling starts around ₹500–₹3,000 per finished minute, while comprehensive feature-length restoration with full scratch removal and colorization ranges between ₹1,00,000 to ₹10,00,000+ per film.

Yes. We provide multilingual dubbing across Tamil, English, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and global languages. Every project is overseen by native dialogue directors and lyricists to ensure natural cultural idioms, emotional cadence, and lip pacing.

Yes, provided proper legal consent and rights authorization are in place. Our neural voice modeling captures the actor’s unique vocal timbre and emotional resonance, projecting their natural voice into target languages.

Our AI Lip-Sync system tracks 3D facial topology and adjusts the actor’s lip movements and jaw articulation to match the phonetic syllables of the dubbed language, maintaining photorealistic skin texture, lighting, and facial identity.

Yes. We routinely execute bilateral NDAs with film production studios, OTT networks, archives, and private collectors before receiving proprietary footage. Your master files and creative assets remain strictly confidential.

Yes. We offer specialized bulk archive programs with dedicated pipeline bandwidth, volume pricing, and automated metadata cataloging for film libraries, television networks, and cultural institutions.

We accept DPX, TIFF, Apple ProRes (422 HQ / 4444 / 4444 XQ), Avid DNxHR, uncompressed AVI/QuickTime, and high-bitrate H.264/H.265. Deliverables include theatrical DCI DCP, IMF packages for Netflix/Hotstar, and archival ProRes masters.

We strictly require clients to confirm they possess the copyright or legal authorization to restore or adapt the submitted footage. For likeness replication or voice synthesis of deceased artists, explicit estate authorization is required. We maintain full transparency and ethical provenance across our workflows.
