For some real world costs, they show an example where a 5 minute, HD (1920x1080) clip running at 30fps is uprezzed to UHD (3840x2160) - essentially 200% enlargement, which would cost $20.66 at the moment. They charge a base $2, and then $.001 for each 1M pixel when uprezzing by 2x or $.002 for each 1M pixel when uprezzing by 4x. Gigapixel AI for Video works either by uploading your clips via the web or by using their Windows 10 app (in beta at the moment).

Today, we package those skills together withVFX magicians, colorists, and/or the all encompassing Online Editor - which is what I am. That is way easier said than done, but with a few different NLE plugins and tools it is becoming not only possible for everyone but starting to really look great.īeyond sharpening your out of focus or low resolution media, what can you really do to improve footage? Luckily, there has been an entire professional dedicated to the art of dust busting and repairing media for decades. And because of the ubiquity, we need older footage to easily (and visually) edit seamlessly with this beautiful higher resolution media without causing a disturbance for the viewer.
