Hi guys, my AI upscaling video just reached 42k views, so here's another cool trick, just apply this so you can easily sharpen video footage affected by camera shake, focus issues, or general softness. Made possible with a little help from AI technology. 😉

Tell me, did you applied the SHarpen AI (fro Topaz) in many individual photos (captured from a blur video) and made a new (sharpned) video? I ask this because Topaz only have a tool to make videos look similar to 4K, but it's not Sharpen AI iteself, since SHartpen AI it's just for photos.

I'm waiting for software like this for about 20 years - it finally looks good enough to test it on old footage. Thanks for your work!

So I just learned that I may need some additional programs in order to get an older video with a lot of pixelation to look HD or 4K. Such as Gigapixel or Adobe AE, but it seems I have a new problem and was wondering if you could help. I followed your instructions precisely, but some reason, my video was finalized with no audio. Do you know what might have caused this? Perhaps because the video was originally in WMV format and not an MP4?

if you're using this or similar frame by frame upscaling methods, you'll need to restore the audio manually in an editing software after upscaling, or check the video I made about Video Enhance AI, it will automatically keep your audio in 😉

Could you let us know what kind of system you have? Cpu? Gpu? Ram? Is this a cpu heavy program or gpu heavy program? Or both?

Thank you for the great advises. I have bought Sharpen AI with your discount code. Thank you so much. Also I have downloaded Adobe Media Encoder. All works well, except that the final result video is 1 to 2 seconds shorter than my original video, which is a big problem. I use H.264 and 1920x1080. Most likely I have some settings wrong. How can I get the final result video at the exact same length as my original video? Please advise. Thanks.

I had the same problem and after searching on web I found the solution: go to Preferences of Media Encoder then Multimedia and change the time base to the original video frame rate value. Idk why but if you change it in export options the video you got is shorter (so the clip is faster) than the original one.

Thanks for the tutorial. Very useful. However, I have trouble dragging the .mp4 to the media encoder 'Watch Folders' like you did at 1:18 / 6:34. Am I doing something not right? Can you help please?

As one commenter put it.. you can clean up pixels that aren't there. If it's that old of a video, then you can't really touch it up.. that's the consensus I got from a few people online. But then how do movie studios do it? Does it depend what it's shot on? Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Great video thank you ! It would be hyper interesting to compare this methode with the lastest version of Video Enhance AI. How do they compare in sharpening ? Is Video Enhance now enough to do the same job or does Sharpen AI still has an edge for sharpening different types of blurrs, provided you use this more intensive frame by frame worflow. Does VE ultimately generates less flickering than frame by frame Sharpen ai since in the latest they are not correlated ? And of course last question (not personaly for you of course), when are we going to see Denoise AI, Sharpen AI, VE AI (and why not a "8bit 4:2:0 to 12/16bits 4:4:4 Prores/RAW" AI program ) all gathered in one unique powerful video enhancement software ?

Is there actually any way to upscale footage without having to dissect the video into multiple frames, upscale each one manually and them stitch them back together? It's such a pain, plus you need to remove, save and then relayer the audio over the top as well. I feel like this should be more automated, surely there is an AI that can do this already?
