Ah... Super Resolution.....

It all begins with a good quality source file.

My source files are 1392x1032.

Then, I reduce them (yes, reduce) to 1024x768.
Why? Because a heavy script with removedirt(), Gammac(), stabilizing and degraining etc runs like a train (18fps) when the size from the source file is limited to W=1024 pixels.

Then, I upscale to full HD and do some sharpening on the full HD file.

I know, I know. It's against all rules
But it works and the results are very acceptable.

Source file: 1972 fuji single-8 film. Unsharp frame to test sharpening.


Full HD result: stabilized-cropped-sharpened etc...(reduced to show here)
