Suggestions for Color grade and restoration tips in RESOLVE for S VHS video
Just started working with Topaz.
Started as 720 X 480 AVI file 29.7 FPS
File from S VHS video. Using Topaz I did this in two steps. First, I deinterlaced the video. Then I ran it a second time using IRIS LQ upscaling to 1280 X 720. (HD). I tried full HD but too fake looking. Too many artifacts and even some distorted faces in background. I’m planning on using it for shorts on youtube so this is what it would look like.I did a touch of sharpening in Resolve. Any suggestions on what I can do in Resolve, any thoughts on color correction and touching it up in Resolve.
THANKS

Use timeline with same resolution and fps to minimize the artifacts. Primary wheel is good to keep the shadows, midtones and highlights in balance then use waveform to balance the details in the shadows. Eyedropper will be good to auto-balance the neutral look while adjusting the temperature and tint. Use temporal and spatial noise noise reduction for removing flickers and to smooth the grainy areas. DaVinci’s own deinterlace filter will be good enough to try and to compare with your results from the ai enhanced video. Use curve panel for highlights/shadows and saturation to make more colours vibrant but avoiding over-saturation at the same time.
