We can finally watch TNG in 16:9

Somone posted an example of LTX 2.3 outpainting to expand 4:3 video to 16:9.

I thought it was really impressive so I applied it to some of my favourite classic shows, like TNG, which I’ve always wanted to watch in widescreen.

I also used WanGP which was nice and simple to use (I just had to disable transformer compilation to avoid a bug). Each clip took about 10 minutes to generate, although I spent a day just figuring things out/trying them. I eventually rendered them in 720p (no sliding window) and upscaled in Davinci Resolve to match the 1080p resolution of the source material. Actually only the “wings” of the generated clips are visible, I kept the centre to improve quality – you can see a bit of wobble from time to time (I could reduce this with even more tweaking).
