Improving the quality of an already recorded video is possible with the use of specialized image Editing programs. Although we are in the era of Ultra HD TVs, a most video produced is still in a resolution much lower than 4K. Cell phones and tablets with premium specifications indeed have high video quality, but the most commonly used models still record in HD and Full HD. This is not to mention old movies, clips, and TV shows created long before the high-definition fever, and other more homemade ones shared on sites like YouTube.

Fortunately, there is Software that enhances the quality of finished videos, making the result more compatible with newly developed technologies. Below, Techidence has listed 8 programs that have features to increase the resolution of the video already recorded.

Some go further and count with upscaling, a feature that consists in increasing the dimensions of an image that is not in high definition, equating the pixel count to HDTV values (720p, 1080p, 2160p, or 4320p, the latter less frequently seen). See the list below.

1. Camtasia
