I was editing a 3 minute video on Davinci and lost all my original footage due to hardware complications, but luckily I had made proxy medias videos of all my footage. Now I'm stuck with low quality proxy video and searching for ways to enhance it's quality. I'm afraid to use AI and the video turns to have that waxy un natural look...

Any tips? I'm losing my mind over this, any help will be a life saver!
