Cleaner, sharper pictures

Clearframe uses machine learning technology to clean-up and restore your archive footage, making it sharper and more detailed.

Less distracting, less fuzzy, more watchable.

If your TV production relies on archive, talk to Clearframe.

Clearframe takes your existing archive footage, removes noise, upscales to HD and retrieves detail.

Watch this famous rugby try from 1973.

Thanks to our clean-up techniques, it’s clearer now than when it first aired.

Careful, crafted restoration

Each shot is individually processed. We enhance your footage over many stages. Adjusting, crafting and improving until your old archive sits comfortably alongside your newly shot footage.

Notice how noise and grain has been mostly removed from this 16mm film footage shot in New Zealand.

We’ve kept some dirt and scratches, as removing them all leaves the footage looking too clean and a little artificial, but we’ve removed enough so you can concentrate on the pictures and not get distracted by all the dirt and noise.

Footage from the BBC Wales series Slammed: The Seventies. Here, a grainy transfer of 16mm film onto videotape has had dirt, grain, flicker and especially noise removed.

The pictures have also been upscaled to HD.

You might think your archive is beyond saving, but maybe we can help. Just like we helped BBC Wales, cleaning up over 750 shots for three one hour documentaries.

Every archive clip is individually logged and processed through several stages, each time being refined and improved so that archive shots can hold their own alongside any newly-shot HD footage.

Clearframe’s AI-powered cleanup restores the lost detail, removes the noise and can even improve on the original during the upscale to HD.

If archive footage is crucial to your content - doesn’t it make sense to talk to Clearframe?
