Sharpen a Video File Online

Why sharpen a video file online?

Sharpening a video file is a subtle yet transformative post-production technique that enhances the perceived resolution of your footage by increasing the contrast along the edges of objects and textures. You should apply this adjustment to counteract the inherent softness often introduced by digital camera sensors, lens limitations, or aggressive file compression, effectively restoring clarity and "pop" to a muddy image. By carefully refining these fine details, you not only salvage visuals that might otherwise feel slightly out of focus but also create a more professional, high-definition aesthetic that helps guide the viewer’s eye to the most important elements of the frame.

In this example i used the video converter at https://webmconverter.app/mp4-to-webm once you have selected your video file the video information will be displayed.

In this example i chose a low resolution video file to try an demonstrate the effect of the cas - Contrast Adaptive Sharpener video filter. 

If the video file was correctly detected then you should scroll down to the organized video filters section below and select the "cas - Contrast Adaptive Sharpener" filter press add and enable it, then the configuration of the video filter will be shown. 

 

 

 

These are the settings i used to create the effect of the example shown above, but every circumstance will be different.  

 

 

Now you need to figure out what the strength setting should be, i chose 0.92 but every instance will be different it's best to truncate your video file first to a few seconds and do a trial and error to figure out the best setting.
