Samurai Sharpen Video for After Effects and Premiere Pro 1.2.12

Samurai Sharpen Video is a specialized video sharpening plugin developed by Digital Anarchy, designed to enhance the clarity and detail of video footage without creating unwanted artifacts.

Video footage is often a bit soft, and making improvements to sharpen certain details can make a big difference. Samurai Sharpen lets you do this quickly with tools designed to make it easy for you to isolate specific areas of your footage and sharpen only those areas. This is advanced sharpening technology for video footage, precise and simple.

Main features

• Edge sharpening: Samurai Sharpen uses intelligent algorithms that focus on enhancing important details, such as eyes and lips, while avoiding areas of skin that need to be soft. This edge-aware approach ensures that only important features of the shot are sharpened, preventing over-sharpening of flat areas.
• Integrated masking tool: The plugin includes powerful masking capabilities that allow users to protect shadows and highlights from being sharpened. This is important for maintaining video quality because shadows often contain noise that can be exaggerated when sharpening.
• Precise control: Users have access to fine-tuning controls to adjust the intensity of the sharpening effect. This includes the ability to control halos and shadows around edges, providing unprecedented control over image results.
• Compatibility: Samurai Sharpen is compatible with major video editing software including Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and soon DaVinci Resolve and Avid. It leverages GPU acceleration for fast rendering, enabling efficient real-time editing.
• User-friendly interface: The plugin is designed to be intuitive, allowing editors to quickly apply sharpening effects and make adjustments without the need for extensive technical knowledge. Training videos are available to help users maximize their capabilities.
