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.
