I have my old 8mm home movies on a dvd, and want to edit and clean them up if possible. Which CyberLink product is best for this?

Ideally, I want to edit each frame, clean up dust and scratches, adjust color, etc.

To edit each frame you would have to first export all of the images from the video.

There is a program named ImageGrab that will do that very thing. Be warned, Video contains thousands of images, it is very big job of editing every frame.

PowerDirector has some enchanment functions in Fix/Enhance and in Power Tools. First select the video you want to enchance.

It takes a very powerful computer to handle enhancement.

Explore the tools in PowerDirector before you go off into the deep water. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Thank you for letting me know how enormous this project would be. I definitely don't want to edit thousands of images.

I'll try the available tools on some of it, and see how i do. This is all new to me. I'll just play around and see what I get. I'm so happy to have these films on dvd now, whatever I can do to improve them is just icing on the cake smile
