Question Recommendations for free software to improve video quality

[emitfudd]

I have a couple of old videos that are probably 360P video quality or even less. Is it even possible to improve the quality up to 720P or higher? With AI emerging I am thinking there might be some hope. It's not important enough to pay for software. Anybody have suggestions for a free program that actually works?

Enlarge? Yes.

A lot depends on how bad your original videos are.

"Improve the quality"? Debatable. You can certainly change brightness levels, contrast, etc, but we don't know what would satisfy your expectations or at what point you would say "that wasn't worth the trouble, I still can't tell if that is a 1956 or 1957 Chevrolet".

Experiment if you like on a copy of your videos with whatever free or trial software you can find.

I've used "Free Video Editor" with some success, but I don't know if you can still find it. Pick any random application you can find and keep your expectations low.

I don't know if the dreaded AI has made any inroads on the issue.

There is one called videoprocconverter. The youtube video makes it look amazing. Some Reddit posts say it didn't work well at all. Not a big deal. I was just wondering if it is even feasible at this time.

There is apparently a free trial version
