Applying Super-Flat after you've already shot the video?

Is this possible for video? I did some shots on my t2i and wanna see what they would have looked like with super-flat. Is that possible? I still have the clips on my memory card?
 
superflat is fake. you can allways push it back in the post. try shadow/highlights effect on adobe premiere.

Superflat is not so usable overall but in certain scenes it is preferred. But you cannot "push back" the low light detail "in the post" if shadows aren't captured by sensor at all due to non-linear response curve.

That's the main thing with superflat...it allows you to capture shadows and highlights with flat response curve. Image looks weird but allows more information to be pulled in post.

the camera is doing the same, pushing it back. i tried both, and i had never problems to emulate the superflat image in the post with same imagequality.

the h.264 codec(and the data rate) is to bad/low to film in superflat and do some hard color grading on it.
