After months of development, MSS Media Lab is here. It's a complete restoration application for old film scans and video tape — built for transfer shops, film archivists, and home movie enthusiasts who want real results without a Hollywood-sized budget.

MSS Media Lab handles both film and magnetic tape: 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm film scans, alongside VHS, Hi8, and other tape captures. Load your footage, choose your tools, and render — no command line, no scripting, no chain of separate utilities.

What it does:

  • White balance and color correction for faded, color-shifted footage

  • Color grading with full color wheel and curve controls

  • Noise reduction and denoise for grain and tape noise


  • Deinterlace, for tape sourced from interlaced analog formats

  • Dropout repair and dust/scratch removal

  • Deflicker, for unstable brightness from aging tape or film

  • Chroma repair, for color bleed and channel misalignment

  • Crop and rotate

  • Sprocket-hole stabilization for shaky film scans

  • Sharpening

  • AI-powered upscaling (Real-ESRGAN, with multiple model options)

  • AI frame interpolation (RIFE) for smoother motion

  • Smart Analyze — automatic condition detection with professional PDF estimates

  • Before & After Comparison Export — generate a side-by-side or split-screen video showing exactly what changed

  • Full job history — every file you process is logged with the exact settings used, so you always know what was done and can reproduce it later

It's a one-time purchase — $99, lifetime license, free updates. Try it free for 30 days, no credit card required.

MSS Media Lab is built to get the most out of your original footage — but it can't add back detail that was never captured. The better your source material, the better your results. See real before-and-after samples on our Samples page, or start your free trial today.
