As someone who shot tons of trains in hi8 in the 1990s, I would love to see a tutorial on how you actually use Stax and Topaz AI to remaster your videos. Or direct me to where you learned how to do this. I have no knowledge of any of these procedures. Thanks for any advice Martin.
Hi Paul Have alook at these 2 videos, i found them usefull ruclips.net/video/cbfg6H7zLvQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xV22R79fXCQ/видео.html The remastering can take quite a bit of time, i upped the framerate to 120fps to make it smoother in RUclips, took approx 3 hours for my PC to do all the work.
After watching these, I miss the old days of my Sony camcorders so just bought one! It's the zoom that makes these videos special 😊
Thanks, yes agree a good zoom makes a good piece of video
Camera was v heavy though
Amazing restoration of this classic footage. Looks and sounds like it was filmed yesterday. Great job Martin.
Agreed. That first 47 didn’t sound too healthy!
Awesome video there!! The quality is incredible considering it was shot 32 years ago!! Nice to see some light locos too!
Thanks Jacob- the new AI software is amazing - does take about 2 hours on a decent pc to produce 5 mins of video though
This upscaling really worked on the reflections! Amazing to see what technology can do with stuff like this, great footage
Nice! Good to see the 442s before the cable covers vanished!
Beautiful video. Thank you for taking the time and effort in sharing it.

47703 looking rather weary. NSE were eager to get rid of the Class 50s, and replaced them with a fleet of worn out 47s 🤷♂️
