(Take a look at the background)

I can't seem to find a good antialiasing script that fully fixes that issue.
Can anyone help me out here? Thank you!
Note: The native resolution of the source is 960x540 and to resize is by using descale
Code:
debicubic(c=1, 960, 540)
(Another Note: I'm an AviSynth user)

When I mean by "motion artifacts", I mean by ghosting, random blackspots, and some weird moving that you can see when comparing two frames apart (I don't know the exact word for that one).

I can't find a script that fixes this issue without resizing to 1080p which fixes the problem.

(I used Bilinear to resize to 1080p on the resized image)
It's fine if I resize to 1080p, I just wanna know what's causing this issue and fix it with the new script.
Can anyone help me out here? Thank you!
(Note: This is the QTGMC script I use for normal 1080p/1080i content, which fixes most of the ghosting and some black parts, but not any of the weird moving I mentioned before
Code:
QTGMC(preset="Placebo", TR0=2, TR1=2, TR2=3, Rep0=1, Rep1=0, Rep2=5, EdiMode="EEDI3", InputType=2, NoiseRestore=1.0, NoiseProcess=1, Sigma=1.4, StabilizeNoise=True)

I can't find a script that restores the problem without causing any over-filtering artifacts on the other areas.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thank you!

I'm working on a tape that has lots of these defects (mostly green) around lights, hair, straight lines, etc. and need help to properly eliminate them. For the record, I'm using Hybrid and still relatively new to this. I found this post and spent a few hours experimenting with the filters suggested by Selur. Got decent results using KNLMeansCL denoiser on the UV fields, but had to turn up the settings quite high and it desaturates the picture to the point where some colors are nearly monochrome (see images below). Didn't notice much of a change using the other filters, so I finally decided it would be wiser to just consult the forums.



I'll also attach the source clip and a text file with the script I'm using for this test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to keep this post short, so please ask if you need more info about my workflow or anything else.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to rescue a critical video file for hours and have hit a complete dead end. I really need some help.

The File: A 2.5 GB deleted .mov video file (originally shot on a Canon camera).

The Deletion Details: I accidentally deleted both my Day 1 (d1) and Day 2 (d2) video files. The d1 file went straight to the Recycle Bin and I was able to get it back perfectly. However, the d2 folder/file (the 2.5 GB one) was completely nowhere to be found in the trash bin, which forced me to use recovery software.

The Environment: I am working on a laptop with an SSD internal drive, and the missing files were stored on an external USB drive.

The USB Drive State: The USB drive was working fine initially, but as soon as I used a tool to try and recover the video, the drive started acting up and completely turned into a gibberish format. It now shows random text, weird characters, and strange symbols instead of my folders. The actual D2 folder is completely inaccessible.

The Problem: I tried using Recuva, but it only pulled a file that plays a 2-second black screen in VLC before cutting out.

What I Tried: I ran that broken 2-second file through a repair tool called Untrunc using the working d1 reference video, but the fixed file is still just 2 seconds of black screen. I also tried running Windows File Recovery to pull the data, but it didn't solve the problem. The full 2.5 GB of data seems completely fragmented or locked behind the corrupted USB file system.

I don't have a budget for expensive recovery services, so I am trying to figure out if there is a free tool or a manual way to bypass the gibberish error, safely read the drive, and actually get my D2 folder and video back.

Any guidance would mean the world to me.

I have been having some issues with TemporalDegrain2 in all of my projects. In fade-ins and fade-outs, there are a lot of artifacts. I have not been able to find another filter that eliminates blocking and noise from DVDs as well as TD2, so I hope this problem can be fixed.

I tried changing every setting without luck. Changing ppSAD1 and ppSAD2 reduces the issue, but it also reduces the noise and artifact reduction.

Here are some examples from an anime fade-in (filtered and unfiltered). As you can see on the hair, there are weird artifacts similar to thick lines:
