This example of Video Artifact Premium shows a resize result from a video source that has halos after camera sharping. The original source is a 1920x1080 H.264 file from Panasonic GH3.
I removed compression artifacts and noise. VA includes good resize filters. But after resize we can see ugly halos, so camera sharping should be removed. I used a de-halo filter to remove it. After resizing an additional small sharpness correction compensates a micro detail lost. The image becomes clear and it is now ready to edit in NLE. It seems blurry, but you can always add any sharp later, if required.
