Viewing Practice Makes Perfect, New Remasters Version 2

Aug202010

We’ve been remastering stuff for awhile now and figured out a new algorithm of applying the filters in a better order to reduce noise of our remasters. Considering the amount of extra detail this new version 2 gives us we’ve have decided to redo our old remasters, we will be bumping these to the top of the website when a new version has been rendered and released.

Remaster Version 2

We will of course continue to release new remasters as well, all remasters released from after this message was posted will be rendered with the new version 2. Hopefully this clears up any confusion that will come when old remasters start appearing as new on top of the page.

Note: This only applies to video remasters.

That’s all for now.

    How does this work? This is like going back in time and giving them a better video camera.

      modern filters and AI can figure out which pixels should be where… it works alright, but it will only get better.

    What do you use? Can users do this themselves?

    You guys are the real MVPs for creating the remasters. Thank you!

    I’m curious, too, are you using Topaz? Would you be able to share the settings? Thanks!

      only use topaz for ai upscaling, the most custom work is done in the deinterlacing process we apply before we upscale to get the best results of the upscale.
      we use different parameter for each video because each video require hand crafted attention depending on what the source footage is like.

      we are working on automating this process as much as possible and soon enough we might be able to do remaster requests for most type of videos, we are not there yet though.
