how do old videos get restored to high quality?

201 viewsOtherTechnology

i saw a video on youtube that was the old
McDonald’s Mac Tonight commercial from the 80s, but there was a version of it uploaded in 8k. how is it possible, considering the cameras that the commercial was shot on originally? wouldn’t the resolution program have to ‘make up’ what it thinks the details are? thanks in advance!

It’s probably an AI upscale that guessed, but it was probably shot on a 35mm film. The camera wouldn’t be a bottleneck if they went back and reprocessed the original film, assuming it was properly preserved.

I bet they haven’t, because all of that costs a lot of money, but it’s not down to the camera.
