What is g90ak? How do I upscale/clean videos?

Thanks! Greatly appreciate the info.

Agreed. It does a lot of things well besides the color correction and re-encoding at the end. Unless your video is small and blurry, it can usually get a pretty good result. Newer versions even do the 60fps quite well, and it can take a video that is encoded in 60fps but is actually 24/30fps, and fix it in just 1 step to bring it up to a smooth 60fps, by replacing the repeated frames with new ones.
