Hi @ducon2016, I used my licensed copy of Topaz Video AI for Mac with the Dione model and several custom settings. If you have a video feel free to share it and we can try to enhance it further.

Can you try topaz on this slightly cleaned sequence? https://limewire.com/d/NS2pL#xxs0cApXZR

 

If it makes a difference I will continue improvint it. If not then I guess Topaz alone is enough.

Hi @ducon2016, sure thing, I tried Topaz on your sequence.

Let me know what you think.

 

I think some parts are better with my filter and it eliminates the dark halos (still need to work on the chroma halos), but overall I was surprised to see my filter made everything so blurry. Did you apply the same sharpening settings? So still need to work on it.

 

This is the original

 

 

This is my filtered one. Dark halos have disappeared but it feels too blurry. So not good.

I primarily focused on removing or reducing the halo on your file, so I didn’t apply any sharpening settings.

 

I usually adjust the Topaz Video settings dynamically, so I’m not certain which specific parameters I used previously.

 

It’s great if you can remove the halo. I don’t think it will be difficult to make the footage sharper.
