One of the most important things that I have learned as a good video editor is - never throw any video clips or elements away, because one day a new software, technique, concept or a combination will make that clip fresh and new. Archive Archive Archive. Especially when you create a montage, with different source qualities - Adobe After Effects and Premiere are constantly adding new plug ins and presets - AI has made it possible to sharpen and de-noise vintage footage - and then in 6 months there will be something new. I have one hard drive folder named “Restoration in Progress”…Here is a clip for TCM using AI to clean up and balance out clips - you don’t want some clips to be over-the-top beautiful, then the next edit be soft like VHS.
Enhancing and upscaling impossible Video Elements
Wow, nice job! TCM has certainly had some fantastic star of the month promos.
Made me think of this, I think, recent clip from Down to Earth in HD. Are we seeing AI on these re-masters now?
Anyway, nice work on the Judy “…in progress” bit. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks ! I will be updating all my TCM Clips - they are easy to do - collectors love them - and the rendering time is not forever
I didn’t go to film school - but got my education, on the most important classic and important contemporary films with THE CRITERION COLLECTION, as my first job…and creating the finest video transfers available…
