Converting VHS to 4k Using AI

Currently, to get the best image quality from low res’ DV footage, firstly run a de-interlace pass using Video Enhance’s Dionne model. Re-import the rendered file & choose Proteus model. Adjust settings on this model - including up-scaling - & render. To make matters more complicated I have discovered the de-interlace model that processes video at 50fps is the best. This means if your footage is shot at 25fps you need to re-import it & run a time remapping pass at 25fps before finishing with proteus de-noise, de-block & sharpen. PS: the added texture spoken of in the above video is probably due to the noise slider on when rendering. All of this is to say post processing of video, or film to video is a trial & error process. And if you are serious about this you will compliment your post production with other plugins, such as those made by REVision FX & Boris FX.

Does Topaz allow for a comparitive database? Can you take pictures of someone that is sharp, and use it as a baseline for converting a blurry image back to sharp?

i could have guessed that it wouldnt upscale SD to HD perfectly,thats why i didnt bought it,if it worked it would have because i have a big collection of old SD dvd's wich i would have upscaled to 1080p,but all these AI upscaling promisses are all crap
was funny that your daughter didnt know what a VHS video cassette was,its strange that we know what came before
it shows what the time we live in now has become for curiosity for things of the past,now its all tiktok 😎cheers m8

I'd like to see the Zapruder footage of the assassination of JFK turned into 4K. Now THAT would be interesting!

Is it possible? That depends upon what you assume is being achieved.

Everything that so-called "AI" produces is fake. It's not real. It's not what actually happened. It's not the truth. It's not real. It's simply something that looks like something that could have been real.

actually my old VHS look pretty good on my vcr on 4k tv

Would it end up looking better if you enhanced the original footage to 480p first, then 720p, then 1080p, and THEN 4k? I realize the goal is to have the computer do all the work, but since we're not quite there yet I figure taking it step by step and making manual corrections in between would improve the final result.

Does using Topaz (or another AI based upscaler) require some pre-edit? Like, applying colour correction before upscaling it or something of that kind.
I'm new to this kind of things, please help 🙏

Koror looks like a character based on an earlier character named Deslock from Starblazers. You need to be older to get it.

Had to laugh when he compared the detail on the horse's ass. 😂

So the final verdict is that it's an improvement but nowhere near as good as it needs to be. It seems to turn 480 video into about 540-600 lines of resolution. Still pretty far from HD.

this is just a sales pitch, the Topaz Video Ai took forever to upscale one (1) minutes Video!

beautiful your family! God keep them always!

How to Speak like "Project Farm"

Great video, but what inspired the used car pitchman voice over?

299$ now does anyone know how to get full version free?

VHS to 4K? Looked like ass. Clickbait BS. Booooo...

I’m about to start a project, converting old VHS World War 2 documentary into digital as well as completely reformatting the presentation, adding in stock footage.

What’s the best way to get the VHS footage on to the computer to them put into this AI software?

Thank you in advance 👍🏼

filter your voice or something, so it will not be like you scream every word out of your lungs. thank you!

Hi. I have low quality clip of hit and run, i want to get the culprit licence plate number. Can you help

I’m a camera nerd and phone nerd. I would shoot on older phones to get that retro quality.

The same if someone would shoot on film and use vintage film lenses and tapes, but in the phone world?

I like my iPhone but I like the look of the images on my earlier phones. The Samsung S7+, Zte Axon 7, etc

She was right, there were TV's that had a VCR in them. Damn we old now.🤣

Nice t-shirt. ^^ :D C64 4-ever!!!!

Too crazy expensive! There must be better, cheaper options.

Very cool but there is something nostalgic about watching grainy VHS footage. I would still want the original footage

But a full lenght movie will take days to complete i believe.

Finally, something that is beneficial for modern security cameras.

man that woman got some hands!

I also am thinking of buying some old classic movies and remastering and upscaling them to 4k 60FPS...SUPERMAN 78

I wrecked my new HD dvd recorder that upscales and now im thinking to just record direct to PC and upscale the crap out of it.

Looks a bit better reducing noise but it doesn't look dramatically better.

Is it free

Enhance human face and you will see shit...

Me watching this video in 480p 😅

Yall believe anything. This is a 4K video with a VHS filter on it that they take off.

Lol, I came here just for the tutorial, and that was very well made. But the funny scene at the end with your daughter was funny 4X .. she was literally accepting the possibility of a VHS tape going into a laptop :D

Holy smokes!

Fake crap

That's a fantastic review... with relevant comparison. Thanks for your great work.

I need to remaster a 2.5 hour camcorder video from 1994. What would you recommend?

TBH it looked pretty "crispy" before the upscale

I'm impressed you actually found a functioning hi8 camcorder. I've tried 4 times now to purchase one. Every damn one of them stopped working...immediatly...

if there's anything that makes me feel old, it's kids not knowing what VHS is.









I'm only 26

VHS has 320×240 pixels max. going to 4k is nonsense no additional gain compared to 2k and 1080p, no matter how good a AI Enhacer is, the source does not contain enough information.

Imagine upscaling the original Star Wars trilogy to 4k 🤯

Me watching at 144p:👁️👄👁️

a lot harder than converting 4k to VHS ill tell ya that

So if this could be properly integrated into our phones then there is no need for high quality camera the Ai can do the rest work for us !

How did you transfer the videos into pc??
