It is hard to understand the logic of your preconditions...

The films (parts of the same serial) contain some (edited?) scenes
were -vf pullup,softskip would detect a lot of "skipped" and
"duplicated" frames; in these (short) chunks, the frequency of skipped
frames may be 1..3 per second, and a duplicated frame a couple of
times per chunk.  Most of the film is without duplicated/skipped
frames.
