This is a pleasant surprise. If photo editing is legal (and it obviously should be) then editing the frames of videos should be legal. Modern technology just allows for individual people to feasibly do large number of frames.
It's good to democratize what was previously the domain of only institutions and corporations. As for the claims of ownership on derived works from public data, well, the only reason that's even being entertained as a valid legal claim is technological ignorance and the catchy name "deepfakes".
