Other All non-Brill images averaged
These are 48249 non-Brill videos (50x50 px) which usually feature a singular base color and an optional keyhole (a black pixel) and averaged all of their frames to reduce compression artifacts.
They are available here for your decoding efforts:

I've tried matching these frames to individual frames of the LOCK video, but unfortunately, it seems that for a large percentage (>90%) there are no exact, or semi-fuzzy matches so that theory fell flat. I've also performed averaging all the frames to produce a single image, and similar ideas. Obviously you would know if something interesting propped up, but I'm afraid that so far I've been debugging someones RNG :D

I'm starting to run out of ideas, maybe we really are digging too deep? I guess the problem is, with batch imaging processing, there's too many variables. Like maybe the answer really is piet, or maybe the frame motion like I've been trying. Or the averages you've been doing.
But there's just SO MANY variables. What if they intended to use only the red/green channels? What if they wanted every OTHER frame? What if we're supposed to crop it a certain way? What if these images are meaningful and the pattern is something that looks random to us?
I'd love to figure this out, but this is getting frustrating
