DRS™Nova
The Industry-Leading Film Restoration Software
DRS™Nova, now featuring MTai FrameGen, is a full suite of automated, manual, and generative ai tools to fix everything from common dust and dirt to catastrophic tears, missing frames, and warps. MTI Film has spent 30 years refining and perfecting our application to include powerful tools that work the way restoration artists want – simply and efficiently.
DRS™Nova runs on Windows 10 or 11.
MTai FrameGen
MTai FrameGen harnesses the power of generative AI to recreate missing frames from jump cuts and frame slugs, providing restoration capabilities unmatched by other image-based clean-up tools. This innovative addition, combined with existing DRS™Nova tools for Paint, Dewarping, and Deflicker, empowers artists to achieve unprecedented levels of precision and quality through the use of AI in their restoration projects.

Celebrating over 30 years of continuous development, MTI Film works every day to improve tools for digital film restoration.
DRS™Nova Advanced Toolset Includes:
Waveform Measurement Tool
Waveform Measurement Tool – NEW
Featuring an RGB parade to measure code values and NITs, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in restoration workflows.
Improved Bookmark Events
Simplifies the process of adding a Bookmark event. Allows for the bookmarking of a single frame or range of frames with comments, user defined instructions, and thumbnails.
Enhanced Stabilization
Offers manual or automated tools to repair jitter, gate weave, splice bumps, and other stabilization issues with the Auto-Stabilize tool leveraging camera motion analysis for optimal results.
Debris Filters – Shine and AutoFilter
Shine and AutoFilter automatically detect and repair dust and defects, while Shine provides superior technology for dirt and fleeting scratch replacements.
Camera Motion
Analyzes camera motion for each shot and creates “motion segments”, which can consist of Static, Low, and High motions. The artist can assign different values to each motion segment in tools that support the analysis.
Grain and Aperture
Reduce grain of all or discrete color channels and apply aperture correction to sharpen the image.
Create custom grain patterns that can be applied globally in the tool or used in the Paint and DRS™ tools to enhance fixes.
Gate Hair Tool (beta) – NEW
Analyzes camera motion for each shot and offers sophisticated inpainting and temporal algorithms for tracking and fixing gate hairs.
Shot Copy Tool
Shot Copy Tool – NEW
Easily Copy and Replace Frames in a non-destructive manner using the new Shot Copy tool now in v6.0. Copy shots between versions while maintaining the shot history.
DRS™
Use the DRS™ tool to manually eliminate dust, static dirt, debris, scratches, tears, and replace missing frames.
Paint
Paint or clone from the same or another clip, restore original pixel values, track objects, and more.
Deflicker and Mistime
Using Global or Zonal user-defined regions, eliminate density flicker and color fading due to film emulsion aging. The Mistime tool repairs gradient artifacts at the top of the incoming frame and the bottom of the outgoing frame that occur due to laboratory printer light lag.
Scratch
Repair fleeting or persistent scratches with superior results.
Dewarp
Fix geometric distortions caused by film shrinkage and aging using three or more tracking points. For shots with less than three tracking points, the tool provides for the use of “phantom points” that can be anchored to the existing good ones.
3 Layer Registration
Fix misaligned 3-Strip films recorded to a single film element. The tool can reposition the red and blue channels on their X and Y axes to register against the green control channel or, optionally, warp the channels.
