Cleaning up old Hi8 video in Resolve

In this short series of videos I will go through my process for taking old Hi8 footage and changing it to be used in a new HD project.

In the first part I am looking at de-interlacing the video and the best options for this, including using a free program called Staxrip.

In Part 2 I  look at how I upscale the video using Topaz Video Enhance AI.

Part 3 shows how I prepare the clips and export just the sections used on the timeline – useful for this procedure or any other where you need to export just the sections being used.

Part 4 looks at fixing drop outs and some of Resolve’s other video processing tools.
