What we restore
We work with digitized VHS, MiniDV, Hi8, camcorder files, phone exports, wedding tapes, family archive clips, and low-resolution digital files. The first question is not which model to run. The first question is what the source can honestly support: whether it is interlaced, how much real detail remains, how compressed the file is, and whether motion defects will get worse under upscale.
How the technical review works
Every project starts with a short sample. We score the source from 1 to 10 for restoration complexity, identify the dominant defects, and pick a target master. A clean SD source may become a very good 1080p file. A damaged tape may need denoise, flicker control, deinterlacing, stabilization, and a lower upscale target to avoid synthetic faces or over-sharpened texture.
What you receive
Consumer projects usually receive an MP4 master for sharing and archiving. Premium work can include ProRes, high-bitrate H.264/H.265, or an image sequence when a project needs advanced finishing. We keep the workflow understandable: source received, sample restored, quote approved, full restoration, master delivered.
