Method 1. How to Fix a Blurry Video by Adjusting Color
Step 1: Free download VideoProc Converter, get it installed on your Windows (10) or macOS, and then open the software.
Step 2: Click "Video" to enter "VideoProc - Video" editor/converter center, and click "+ Video" to load your blurry video from local folder.
Step 3: Choose "Effect", apply "Sharpen" filter, and then fine-tune the "Contrast" and "Brightness" value. For example, here we adjust "Contrast" to 1.3 to make it look clearer. Then "Done".

Question: Why Is My YouTube Video Blurry?
Answer: If your video seems Blurry after it is uploaded to YouTube, don't be upset. YouTube always reencodes and downgrades the uploaded video file for quicker display. So you would first see the lower-definition version of your video in your browser while the original HD/4K version is still being processed in the background of YouTube. But you will see and get the original HD/4K version at last when the processing/uploading is completed.
Method 2. How to Make Video Clearer by Upscaling Resolution
Step 1: Import your video file in VideoProc Converter.
Step 2: Click "Codec Option", find "Resolution" under "Video Codec Option" area, and then choose your desired resolution from the drop-down list. You are also allowed to "Custom" video resolution. Then "Done".
Step 3: Choose an output format. Change the encoding method or not based on your need. Note that re-encoding a video would take you a little bit more time than remaining the original format. But when tackling some codecs like H.264 and HEVC, VideoProc Converter's level-3 hardware acceleration will boost the transcoding process.
Step 4: Specify the output folder to save your file and "RUN" the conversion.
Method 3. How to Fix Blurry Video by Deshaking
Step 1: Drag and drop your shaky video into the main interface of VideoProc Converter to get it loaded.
Step 2: Switch to "Toolbox" tab in the bottom function area, and choose "Deshake".
Step 3: Click "Option" right beside the preview window, set the range of footage you want to deshake by inputting the "Start Time" and "End Time", and adjust the values of shakiness, accuracy, step size and minimum contrast. Then "Done'.
Step 4: Choose an output format and RUN the video deshaking process.

Bonus Tip 1: How to Fix a Blurry Video in iMovie
If you want to learn how to make a blurry video clear on iPhone or Mac, iMovie is definitely an option to go. It does not provide a tool that makes blurry videos clearer in one click. The workable method for iMovie users is to sharpen blurry videos by increasing the contrast.
Step 1: Create a new project and import your video to iMovie. Then drag and drop the video to the timeline.
Step 2: Click the color correction button above the preview window. Drag the half-moon sliders in the multislider control to increase the contrast.
Step 3: You can adjust shadows, brightness, highlights, and saturation along with the sharpness adjustment to make your video look more natural.
Step 4: Save and export the fixed video.
Note: It is impossible to fix the blurry video in a perfect manner. The lower contrast cannot sharpen a blurry video, while the higher contrast will increase unwanted noise to your footage. The best way is to keep trying and finding a proper contrast to make the video clear as much as possible.
