I have some video shot back in 2004 using a Sony Camcorder. These videos were shot using 4:3 giving a standard resolution of 720x576, 25fps, interlaced. I know that I should have shot those videos at 16:9, which I did for some later holidays.

I have deinterlaced using Hybrid and assumed that I would then need to upscale first to FHD using something like Topaz AI before then doing my editing in Davinci Resolve (the free version). But I saw some reference in another post to upscaling in Davinici. So is there an option using Davinci and I have missed it?

I have posted before about wanting to upscale video shot back in 2004 using a Sony Camcorder. These videos were shot using 4:3 giving a standard resolution of 720x576, 25fps, interlaced. I know that I should have shot those videos at 16:9, which I did for some later holidays. Most of the shots are of historical sites, monuments, landscape. Rarely of people other that tourists who are also at the places.

I have deinterlaced them all using Hybrid. The issue is how to then upscale to FHD (as the general advice is that to upscale further is pushing it too far). With the current sale on monthly plans, I have returned to consider options.

My laptop isn't powerful enough to run Topaz Starlight locally, so my only option would be to upscale using the cloud option. However, I am unsure of what model to use. I am not looking at anything like Proteus because I have Topaz AI v5.5.1.

So should/would I use Starlight Precise 2.5 or Starlight Fast?

Is anyone else using Secure Pass and having problems with the vault not opening? Everything was working fine up until two days ago. I went away for a weekend and on my return came back to my laptop and wanted to open my vault. It said that due to inactivity the vault is locked - of course. I then put in my PIN and I click on Unlock Vault and...nothing. The Unlock Vault button flashes to show I have pressed it but nothing happens. The PIN is correct (I have checked that using the app on my phone). I have tried using my Master Password and the same thing. I don't get any error messages (such as failed attempt, etc). Just...nothing happens.
