Cleaning up old video

Agent_C

I have inherited many family video recordings from my late father, including Super8 and 8mm films and some more recent SuperVHS. 

I have now digitised these and am looking for some software to help me clean them up - so removing dust, enhancing faces, correcting shake and generally improving the quality if possible. 

Can anyone recommend any software? I used a trial of Topaz Video Ai but my PC wasn't up to the job. 

Ideally I would like something that I can purchase outright rather than a subscription since I have a lot of videos to process and not much time, so progress will be quite slow.

Blender can do what you want, and it is free.

There is quite a learning curve, but lots of people want to de-noise and stabilise video, so there are plenty of youtube instructional videos.

It runs on pretty much anything, but the more cores, RAM and GPU horsepower you can throw at it the better.

Thanks, I'll have a look at this. I do have access to Premiere Pro through work but that also has a steep learning curve and I haven't mastered it yet!

I didn’t know the blender could do that, thanks, I’ll try.
