Having made network broadcast documentaries on both film (briefly), various tape formats and digital drives, I do not believe that the travelling matte Z film is technically possible, even with non-public domain "covert" technology in 1963.
I do believe it is possible that the Z film has been altered, with frames being removed. I am particularly suspicious of the red blob frame, and suspect it may have been altered.
In short, I believe in a limited, relatively easily deliverable, alteration of Zapruder to obscure the true nature of the head shot or shots.
David Josephs has suggested Zapruder filmed at 48 fps, making the removal of frames a relatively simple and quick way of obscuring the Unseeable.
In my view, alteration is indicated in a broken chain of custody, two compartmentalized NPIC events, that bubble gum frame purporting to be a head wound,
and the widely-observed dramatic slowing dissolved in a glutinous cruise control--
--not to mention a graffiti-like black defacement of the (for example) back of the head at 317, and, elsewhere, to obscure that telltale wound.
The spectrum here appears to be neither that extreme 2001-like production nor a fundamental insistence on Zapruder as inviolate tablets.
Our individual opinions and qualifications still allow us to view the greater mandala upon which we depict them with colored sand
and that is the manipulation of events for the interest of a cabal to the enormous suffering of the many.
