Professional Video Restoration

Stop those annoying
combing lines from ruining your video

You know those jagged horizontal lines that appear every time something moves? That's interlacing. It was great for 1990s CRT TVs. It looks terrible on everything made after 2005. We fix that.

The Problem

Why interlaced video sucks in 2026

Interlacing was a brilliant hack for 1950s television technology. Today it just creates problems.

Combing Artifacts

Those horrible jagged horizontal lines that appear every single time anything moves on screen. Completely unwatchable on modern displays.

Ghosting & Judder

Double images, stuttering motion, and that weird "soap opera effect" that makes everything look cheap and unnatural.

Lost Detail

Text becomes unreadable, faces look soft, fine details get lost forever. What's the point of HD if it looks worse than VHS?

See It To Believe It

Night and day difference

This isn't subtle. Good deinterlacing makes you wonder how you ever watched it before.

Education & Government

How We Do It

We don't just run a filter

Any idiot can click "deinterlace" in Premiere. That's not what we do. We actually care about your footage.

1

Actual human looks at your video

First, an actual human being watches your video. Not an algorithm. We check field order, interlace type, source characteristics, and common problems specific to how it was shot.

2

We pick the right algorithm for your content

Sports needs different processing than interviews. Animation needs different processing than wedding footage. We have 7 different deinterlacing algorithms and we pick the right one.

3

Slow, careful processing

Good deinterlacing takes time. Our servers run at 3-5x realtime because quality matters more than speed. We don't rush jobs just to hit arbitrary deadlines.

4

Another human checks it

Before delivery, another technician watches the entire video looking for artifacts. AI misses things. Humans don't. This is the step literally everyone else skips.

MJ
Michael J.
Documentary Filmmaker
"We had 40 hours of 1980s news footage that was completely unwatchable. The combing was so bad we thought it was lost forever. Pro Pixel Agency restored it to broadcast quality. Absolutely incredible work."
SR
Sarah R.
Wedding Videographer
"My parents' 1995 wedding video was a mess of interlacing artifacts. I sent it to Pro Pixel Agency on a whim. They brought back crystal clear footage of my parents' first dance. I'm literally in tears just thinking about it."
TK
Thomas K.
Museum Archivist
"We have 500+ hours of archival footage from the 1960s-1990s. Most of it was interlaced and degraded. Pro Pixel Agency processed it all with QTGMC. The detail preservation is unmatched. This is now the gold standard for our archive."

Technical Excellence

Tools we actually use

These are the industry standard algorithms. Not the garbage that comes free with consumer software.

QTGMC

The gold standard. Motion compensated deinterlacing that produces results so smooth you'll think it was shot progressive.

Best for: Sports, live action, archival footage

NNEDI3

Neural network based edge detection. Preserves fine detail better than anything else. Text stays sharp, faces stay natural.

Best for: HD content, text, graphics, static shots
Important

Things you should never do

Don't use online converters

They use the cheapest fastest algorithm possible. They'll destroy your video and you won't even notice until it's too late.

Don't use Premiere/FCP defaults

Default deinterlacers in NLEs are designed for realtime preview, not quality export.

Don't upscale first

Always deinterlace FIRST, then upscale. Upscaling interlaced video locks artifacts in forever.

Don't deinterlace twice

Applying deinterlacing to already progressive video causes permanent softness that can't be undone.

Common Questions

Things people actually ask

Will this make my video blurry?

When done properly? No. Poor deinterlacing causes blurriness, but we use motion adaptive algorithms that preserve detail while eliminating artifacts. We test multiple settings on every video to find the perfect balance between sharpness and smoothness.

Can I get a free sample?

Absolutely. Send us a 1-2 minute clip and we'll process it completely free, no credit card required, no obligation. We want you to see exactly what we can do before you pay us anything.

Do you work with physical tapes?

Yes! We offer full digitization services for VHS, Betamax, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, DVCAM, and basically every tape format ever made. We can capture, deinterlace, and restore all in one process.

What frame rate will I get?

We preserve your original frame rate exactly. 25fps stays 25fps, 29.97 stays 29.97. If you want we can also do 50/60fps progressive conversion for ultra-smooth motion, no speed change, no audio pitch shift.

Your footage deserves better

Those videos aren't just files. They're memories. Moments you can't get back. Don't let 1990s technology ruin them.
