My scientifically informed estimate is it's somewhere around 5 pixels in horizontal and about 3 pixels in vertical resolution. Don't hold me to it though!

Also it's a regrade rather than the actual tape so I'd wager that the tape it was intended to look like may be even more pinkish than the regrade. Which regrade? Raiders shows a lot of magenta hues IMHO, while Terminator seems not IMHO - and of course, they are both regrades, so possibly (probably) in the original U-Matic that could be even more!

I'm wondering if this guy does some chroma swap magic, as the colors really pop.
His The Terminator U Matic is probably a telecine of a print as he says it's a "cinema copy" so not based on any home-video version and probably just a 1/1 of the source with just the limitation of the tech of the original color capture. His Alien which I posted in other thread years back is also 100% the original colors (as they match the one from the book made of 35mm stills and my remembrances), including blown out whites the movie had originaly!

So I dived further and found out the guy doing the U Matic remasters uses a free software called Shotcut.
It's a free video editor available on PC, Mac and Linux, and it looks a bit basic if you are used to Resolve or FCPX. https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/shotcut Maybe is there some tool in the software though, that make it easy to match chroma and luma from two different sources or match grade.
