Fixing videodropouts, is it possible?

Got some videonoise on some footage because of faulty drive. It happens on a couple of frames, now and then (see picture) Is there any way to automatically make AE look for video anomalities and fix this somehow?

Thanks for any advice. Would love to fix this without having to reshoot.

I've done this on crummy, dropout-laden Beta SP video and it's a pain to fix.  But this technique works:

Duplicate the video layer & mask around the dropout.  Move the duplicated & masked layer above the original.  Now move the duplicated layer either 1 frame backward or forward on the timeline, and make it one frame long.  The dropout is covered, nothing in the video has moved around much, and it should be pretty much an invisible fix.

It's fixable, but not automatically, at least not 100%. You can try some RevisionFX plug-ins like RE:Fill, SmoothKit and DE:Flicker and see if the temporal interpolation options work for you, but otherwise you may need to consider otehr techniques from interpolated Timewarp to synthesize some new inbetween frames to using layer duplicates with masks to patch up things to repairing exported frames painstakingly in Photoshop.
