I have a really cool clip of a lacrosse player (my son) flying through the air. It's quite amazing except for one small thing. I wasn't zoomed in tightly on him.

So I would like to post-proess the video to zoom in more tightly, but then it would also need some sort of special image proessing to improve the quality of the "enlargement".

Does anyone know of any tools out there that do this sort of thing? Something within the budget of a normal person?

Thanks,
    Mike

The old adage might apply GIGO.  Garbage in = garbage out. I personally don't know of anything within a normal budget that will improve the video.  You may just have to play with how much you can zoom and what is acceptable quality. Don't rely on the preview screen in the application, it is lower quality than what you will get on a DVD or with playing the file on your computer with a video player.  BTW, I have one of my son making a flying soccer save and I just have to tell people to look closely!  sad.gif
