A method for pull frame interpolation includes receiving an encoded bitstream including information representing a plurality of frames of video data, decoding the plurality of frames, including identifying a plurality of motion vectors indicating motion from a first frame of the plurality of video frames to a second frame of the plurality of video frames, identifying an interpolation point between the first frame and the second frame, identifying a plurality of candidate interpolation motion vectors indicating motion from the first frame to the interpolation point and from the second frame to the interpolation point based on the plurality of motion vectors, selecting an interpolation motion vector from the plurality of candidate interpolation motion vectors based on a metric, and generating an interpolated frame at the interpolation point based on the selected interpolation motion vector, which may include correcting an artifact in the interpolated frame by blending the interpolated frame.
