[Hidden-tech] bulk convert video files to higher resolution

[Jan Werner]

Topaz Labs makes a program called Video Enhance AI that they claim can 
convert SD resolution video to HD and 4K while maintaining, or even 
improving the quality.

I use some of their software to denoise and sharpen still photography 
and have found it to be remarkably effective and also easy to use.

Video Enhance AI costs $199 but they offer a 30 day free trial, so you 
might give it a shot.
