I may not always be commenting, but I am closely following this case. If you have certain frames you like to talk about, I am more than happy to look at them.
I'll just say this, altering frames - not deleting them - would leave a trace IMO, since the target is moving. Any blurring for example would have to be done consistently in every single layer.
That blur or obscurity would have to be of a progression in itself considering size and opacity. We are talking about hundreds and thousands of layers. Lots of manpower needed.
Granted, the SWFA released the video almost 8 months later, but MPD would have confiscated it on day one or two. Given the experience of the SWFA security cam operator or employee or owner generally watching the surveillance tapes - any tapes-, I am sure, they would have noticed any discrepancies. It's like watching your favorite show and they replaced some of the actors with lookalikes..just saying.
All my opinion only. I am not a forensic photo - video - photoshop etc. specialist. Take it all with a large grain of salt.

A few threads back I posted that I think the SWFA video appears to be edited and there's a strong possibility LE worked with SWFA to release it after they analyzed and edited the video. I know others are saying that it's very hard and time consuming to edit each video frame, layer, etc., but I disagree. It's fairly easy to blur a YouTube video, here's a link for anyone interested. https://youtu.be/phLNcwKIlTo. Although, I highly doubt this is the process that was used to edit the SWFA video, I don't doubt that LE has expert level resources and software available to edit the video in this capacity.
FWIW - My day to day grind for the last 20+ years is in IT specializing in Network/Telecom and photography is a hobby that pays me from time to time. I'm not an expert by any means, but I have a fair amount of experience with photo/video editing software.
My opinion only and just my perspective.
