Black & White Video Colorization

Colorizing, Enhancing and up sampling Black & White videos
And adding ambient sound if it didn't have
1-Remove duplicate frames from the original footage
2-Extracting some frames from the original footage (in our case I extracted 13 frames)
3-Hand painting the extracted frames (let's call it keyframes) -Time consuming
4-Feeding the keyframes and the original video to the Ai to colorize the video using our reference keyframes
5-Retouching and fixing the output video - Time consuming (painting and rotoscoping)
6-Upscaling and enhancing and sharpening the output video using an Ai software
7-Increase the fps (I didn't make it here)
8-Adding a sound to the video if it has not (as in our case here in the first video these sounds are not with original footage)
9-Color correction
