Why do video screenshots have moire patterns?

Moire appears in video screenshots when the video was recorded from a screen (monitor, TV, projector) and the camera sensor's pixel grid interferes with the display's pixel grid. This creates rainbow patterns, wavy lines, or grid-like artifacts that are baked into every frame of the recording.

How do I extract a frame from a video for processing?

There are several easy ways: VLC Player : pause the video and go to Video > Take Snapshot. FFmpeg (command line): use ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "select=eq(n\,100)" -frames:v 1 frame.png to extract frame #100. Any media player : simply pause and take a screenshot. Export as PNG for best quality.

Can this tool fix moire in actual video files (MP4, MOV)?

Currently, our tool processes individual image frames, not video files directly. You'll need to extract the specific frames you want to fix, process them through our AI, and then use them as standalone images. For fixing an entire video, you would need to extract all frames, process each one, and reassemble — which is possible but more advanced.

What video sources produce the most moire?

The most common sources are: 1) Videos recorded by pointing a camera at a screen or monitor, 2) Screen recordings that capture another display, 3) Broadcast footage that includes LED walls or screen displays, 4) Surveillance cameras capturing scenes with monitors, and 5) Film footage shot through fine-mesh materials like window screens.

What frame format should I export for best results?

PNG is recommended for the best results as it's lossless and preserves all detail in your video frame. JPG works too but may introduce compression artifacts. Avoid heavily compressed formats — the less compression before processing, the better our AI can detect and remove the moire patterns.

How is this different from the Screen Moire Remover?

The Screen Moire Remover is optimized for photos taken directly of screens with a camera. This Video Moire Remover is specifically designed for frames extracted from video content — including screen recordings, broadcast captures, film stills, and surveillance footage. The underlying AI handles both, but the workflow and guidance are tailored to video frame processing.

Can I batch process multiple video frames at once?

Yes! You can upload up to 5 frames simultaneously for batch processing. This is ideal when you need to clean multiple thumbnails or create a sequence of moire-free stills from a video.

Does this work with 4K video screenshots?

Absolutely. Our tool supports input images up to high resolution and can output processed frames in 1K, 2K, or 4K resolution. For 4K video frames, we recommend selecting the 4K output option for maximum quality preservation.
