Recuro Media
Recuro Media is a browser-based, cloud service for film and video restoration, colorization, color grading, and audio restoration.
What Recuro Media is
Recuro Media is a browser-based, cloud service for film and video restoration, colorization, color grading, and audio restoration. It supports simultaneous projects and batch workflow automation. Filters address dust, scratches, mold, inconsistent noise, grain, color balance, contrast, flicker, stabilization, frame defects, and audio noise or clarity. Its colorization service uses a closed-source DeOldify-based engine with pre- and post-processing, and can colorize faded color film. Adaptive filtering analyzes scene boundaries and adjusts for differences in sharpness, saturation, and luminance. The company focuses on professionally scanned 16mm-and-up film at HD/2K or higher; 8mm and digitally sourced SD material may produce varying results. A REST API uses HTTPS POST and JSON, with a maximum of 200 requests per minute. Uploads include MKV, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPG, MXF, and WAV; outputs include ProRes, H.264, and HEVC. Two one-time €19 trials provide watermarked downloads with stated duration limits.
