Dan Harvey from the Pixel Farm shows how to import media, changing its interlace mode, and export it at a higher resolution using PF Clean’s quality up-sampling algorithm -the up-sampling to change resolutions is quite nifty.
PF Clean – deinterlace and resize workflow from Dan Harvey on Vimeo.
PF CLean works as a fully automatic, hybrid or manual system, the PFClean user is able to define frames and the type of anomalies to be fixed in a completely non-destructive and non-linear environment. Image sequences can be processed immediately or committed to the Pixel Farm’s tightly integrated cross platform batch processing system. Support is provided for multiple resolutions within the same project or timeline.
All fixes, whether applied automatically or manually, are executed via a per frame metadata map – right down to individual dust specks or paint strokes. These are then stored as meta data for later modification if required. This provides total control over any image modification and effectively provides the user with an unlimited number of non-sequential ‘undos’. The data is maintained throughout the clean up process with full remastering functionality providing format conversion and multi-resoluton exports.
