Restore a classic film end to end on a Mac

From a public-domain download to a restored, subtitled film in several languages: the complete workflow with four Code Boop apps.

Updated 2026-10-07 · Code Boop

Old films deserve new audiences. With four apps you can take a classic from a grainy download to a sharp, clear, subtitled film in the languages of your viewers.

1. Find the film

Search YouTube, the Internet Archive and Dailymotion at once with AI Youtube Search & Download. Use “Free to reuse only” and check the IMDb match. Read how to check public-domain status.

2. Restore the picture

Deinterlace, denoise and upscale to 1080p or 4K with AI Movie Restore Pro. Export a test clip first.

3. Clean up the sound

Isolate the dialogue and remove hiss, hum and crackle with AI Sound Restore Pro, then even out the loudness. The picture from step 2 stays untouched.

4. Subtitle and translate

Transcribe the dialogue — or, for a silent film, read the intertitles — and translate into as many languages as you need with AI Caption & Translate Pro.

5. Share it

Announce the premiere everywhere at once with AI Post Content Agent.

Every app is free for its first 5 uses and a one-time purchase after that — download them here.
