As this is my first Shotcut project, which is upscaling, and I really appreciate all the excellent advice. Now that I see the power of filters, can anyone suggest a filter workflow? I’m not trying to turn a 1987 SD video into a Hollywood production, but it seems judicious use of filters can improve the content. I am thinking of saturation, brightness, unsharp mask, circle radius, gaussian radius, correlation, noise suggestions. This is was what piqued my interest:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1TV_vhSnxo
Thanks for granting me a new user award: I really like this package.
Those filters all have potential to make a video look better. But overdoing them can also make a video look baked. That’s why no one can offer generic advice… it depends entirely on what the source looks like, and what you want the end result to look like. “Find a problem, fix the problem” is the mantra. If there’s no problem, there’s nothing to do.
If you want specific ideas from forum members, an option is to upload a few frames from the video and let people experiment with filters on them. Maybe someone finds a combination of filters that you like.
