Can AI Topaz Labs SD to HD up-scaler significantly improve old video and film footage?

Well, both yes and no. The old adage used to be, ‘shit in, shit out’. And that’s still true. Kinda. I have been experimenting with a tool from Topaz Labs called Video Enhance AI. It takes in old footage, typically say Standard Definition video, and then up-scales it to HD, 2k, 4k, whatever you like. It can also double frame rates from say 25fps to 50fps as well as de-interlace rather well.
