just don't "opress" the video ;-)

what res are you dealing with to begin with?


When dealing with a cellphone camera, you may want to try adopting a "lo-fi look"
(make it even more pixelated, reduce colors)

because cleaning it up to the level of a standard camcorder may be impossible

Hey Yosh. Wassup. What size is the video coming off your phone? 160x120 or 320x240? You're gonna lose a lot of fidelity on the upres if you have to more than double scale it up, so if it's 320x240, you could theoretically go up to 640x480 without it looking too bad. Blurring is only really good for noise reduction, but it might help. It depends on the image. Apps like cleaner or squeeze have decent scalers in them, but they're only really good when you're reducing your frame size. I know there's some After Plugins that are made specifically for upresing standard def stuff to HD, but with those, your original is hi-res dv, so, those solutions might be more trouble than they're worth....you're gonna have to test what works best.

Turn your file into a Jpeg and work frame by frame using the Genuine fractals plug-in in photoshop.
