Video LAN's VLC media player is a adept alternative to native media players, like Microsoft's Windows Media Player and Apple's Quicktime player. But because VLC media player isn't quite as popular as the aforementioned media players, finding some basic settings like "Sharpen" can be a bit of a challenge to new users. And though some users may have a hard time locating the the sharpness setting in VLC media player, it's almost hidden in plain sight.
Step 1
Launch a video clip using VLC player--manually load the clip if VLC player isn't set as your default player (right-click> Open With> VLC player).
