Keep in mind this software is in development. The results are very impressive, though.

Damn, that's pretty awesome.

For a long time I have wanted to re-do the original Priest Holmes highlight video I created back in 2005. It was sourced from very low-quality footage though, and not many of those clips are online to re-create and tighten up the editing, and even expand it. I think this tech will make it possible to do it justice.

That video is definitely the one I remember most from the "early days". Loved that "Superman" theme and music.

Now put Debbie Does Dallas thru that thing

Where's the ball gone?

Willie Roaf was so good

I don't know but this was a great game between the XC Chiefs and the G8 Packers.

game changer

He’s just an impenetrable moving wall lol

It’s ridiculous.

I needed this to decode Cinemax late night in the 80s

I was at River Falls and he was signing autographs. The sun was behind me and he cast a shadow on me.


And the GB/KC game.....so hungover that day. Cant remember why.

I'm in an A.I. tech group. There was a recent conversation about using A.I. to restore film and old photos. They think we are just a year or two away from being able to restore pics and film to their original state.

Trent clowned Favre in that game, although my Nebraska boy Ahman Green went buck wild on us.

Felt it didn't do as good of a job with this one.
