How can I improve the quality of blurry video footage?

Shooting in higher resolution (4K, 6K, or 8K) can help mitigate blurriness, as there are more pixels available to sharpen during post-processing.

Using a tripod or stabilizer when filming can dramatically reduce camera shake and blurriness caused by hand movement.

Adjusting the camera's aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings can optimize image sharpness and minimize blur.

Applying a digital sharpening filter in video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve can selectively enhance edge details.

Using AI-powered video enhancement tools like Topaz Video Enhance AI or Adobe Sensei can intelligently upscale and sharpen blurry footage.

Shooting in RAW video format (if available) provides more flexibility to adjust sharpness, contrast, and other parameters in post-production.

Placing the camera closer to the subject and using a longer focal length lens can reduce the appearance of blur caused by depth of field.

Cleaning the camera lens and sensor can eliminate any dust, smudges, or imperfections that contribute to blurriness.

Shooting in better lighting conditions with more illumination can minimize the need for high ISO settings that can introduce graininess and blur.

Utilizing optical image stabilization (OIS) or electronic image stabilization (EIS) features on the camera can compensate for camera shake.

Applying a noise reduction filter in post-processing can help smooth out graininess that can make the image appear blurry.

Shooting multiple takes and selecting the sharpest frames can improve the overall quality of the footage.

Upgrading to a camera with a larger sensor size can provide better low-light performance and shallower depth of field for sharper subjects.

Exporting the final video at the correct frame rate (matching the original footage) can prevent blurriness caused by frame rate mismatches.

Understanding the technical limitations of the camera and lens being used can help adjust settings and techniques to minimize blurriness.
