Found this cool project (not mine) that uses butterflow for applying motion interpolation to Himawari-8 satellite images: https://github.com/dandelany/animate-earth

The final results look really nice https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Mlo4zfmEITcNoCpBKfEfg/pla...

Hey cool, that’s my project! Thanks for the shoutout :) happy to answer questions if you’ve got any.

BTW, here's my favorite video - a compilation of the best results with some music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lPsA8J3U0Q

I definitely noticed in these videos some color artifacts where red and blue colors bleed for short bursts. Are these inherent to butterflow or specific to this channel?

They are artifacts in the data - the different color channels that make up the image are captured at different times, so if there is any movement of the satellite between exposures, or software glitches that only affect one channel, they show up as bleeding colors in the final merged image.
