[0:00] Every single one of those clips was [0:02] unwatchable 30 seconds ago. Blurry, [0:05] shaky, stuck in 480p. [0:08] The kind of [music] footage you scroll [0:10] past on your hard drive and never touch [0:12] again. And every single one was fixed by [0:14] one piece of software. Not five tools, [0:18] not a subscription stack. [0:19] >> [music] [0:19] >> One. [0:21] I've been testing it for the last 2 [0:22] weeks on my own old footage. [music] [0:24] Stuff I actually shot and gave up on. [0:27] And what it pulled off genuinely [0:28] surprised me. So, in this video, I'm [0:30] going to show you exactly what it can [0:32] do, run my own tests on camera, and tell [0:35] you [music] whether it's actually worth [0:36] your money. Let's get into it. Real [0:38] question, how many video tools do you [0:41] have installed right now? One for format [0:43] conversion, one for upscaling, one for [0:45] editing, maybe one more for compression. [0:48] Every time you make a video, it feels [0:50] like you're playing a game of software [0:52] hopscotch. [music] Export from one tool, [0:54] import into the next, export again, [0:57] repeat. And it's not [music] just [0:59] annoying, it's killing your quality. [1:01] Every export, every conversion, you lose [1:04] something. VideoProc Converter AI is [1:06] basically the answer to that mess. One [1:09] software, conversion, AI enhancement, [1:12] editing, screen recording, and DVD [1:15] ripping, all in one place. Which means [1:17] today, instead of demoing five tools, I [1:20] just need to show you one. Let's start [1:23] with the part that surprised me most. [1:25] Super resolution is the headline [1:26] feature, and it's the one I want to test [1:29] the hardest because everyone says their [1:31] AI upscaler is the best. Here's how it [1:33] actually works. [1:35] You drop in a low resolution video. The [1:37] AI rebuilds detail, not by stretching [1:40] pixels, but by reconstructing texture, [1:42] edges, and sharpness based on what it's [1:45] been trained on. And VideoProc just [1:47] upgraded their models. The new Gen [1:50] Detail V3 and Real Smooth V3 are between [1:53] 40 and 80% faster than the older [1:55] versions. Which matters because the [1:58] biggest problem with AI upscaling has [2:00] always been the wait. I'm loading in a [2:02] clip from one of my older videos. 480p [2:06] looks rough on a modern screen. Two [2:08] model choices matter here. Gen Detail V3 [2:11] is the one I use for footage with [2:13] people, [music] faces, fabric, hair, [2:16] anything where texture matters. [2:18] Real Smooth V3 is the one I use for [2:21] cleaner footage that just needs noise [2:22] removed and resolution bumped up. I'm [2:25] going with Gen Detail V3. Upscale ratio, [2:29] four times. That takes 480p straight to [2:32] nearly [music] 4K. [2:34] Okay, here's the result. Original on the [2:36] left, upscaled on the right. Same clip, [2:39] same colors, but look at the edges. [2:41] [music] Look at the texture on the [2:43] shirt. Look at how the face actually has [2:45] structure now. This is not a sharpening [2:47] filter. Sharpening makes [music] blurry [2:49] footage look crispy and weird. This is [2:51] genuine detail reconstruction. The AI is [2:54] filling in information that wasn't [2:56] there. I ran it again on an older test [2:58] clip, the kind of footage you'd find on [3:00] an old hard drive, family video, VHS [3:04] rip, whatever. Same process, same [3:06] models, and the result speaks for [3:08] itself. This is the kind of footage you [3:11] used to just write off as unusable. [3:13] Super resolution is the headline, but [3:16] it's not the only AI tool inside this [3:18] thing. Two more I want to show you [3:20] quickly, frame interpolation [3:23] >> [music] [3:23] >> and stabilization. Both live in the same [3:25] module, no extra purchase. [3:28] Frame interpolation takes low frame rate [3:30] footage, say, 24 or 30 frames per [3:33] second, and generates new frames between [3:36] the existing ones. [3:37] You can push footage up to 120, 240, [3:41] even 480 frames per second, [music] [3:44] which is huge for two things. [3:46] One, smoother playback on modern [3:48] displays. [3:49] Two, buttery slow motion from footage [3:52] that was never shot slow mo to begin [3:54] with. [3:55] This was 30 frames per second going in, [3:58] 120 going out, and the motion still [4:01] looks natural. Not that weird soap opera [4:03] effect you get from bad interpolation. [4:06] Stabilization is the other one. [4:08] Old school stabilization makes you tweak [4:11] smoothness translation perspective. [4:14] Four different sliders, none of which [4:16] mean anything to a normal person. [4:19] AI stabilization here is one click. No [4:22] sliders. It just figures it out. Watch [4:25] this shaky handheld clip become steady. [4:27] That's the whole interaction. Okay, [4:29] switching gears. Everything I've shown [4:31] so far has been video, but this software [4:34] has a completely separate image AI [4:36] module. And honestly, it might be the [4:38] most useful part for most people. Three [4:41] things it does. Upscales any image up to [4:43] 10K resolution, restores face clarity in [4:47] old or low-quality photos, and sets DPI [4:51] for print, which matters if you're ever [4:53] printing artwork, posters, or photos. [4:56] This is an old photo, low resolution, [4:58] the kind you'd find in a folder you [5:00] forgot existed. Four times upscale. Gen [5:04] detail phi 3. Watch the face. [music] [5:07] This is the part that genuinely changes [5:09] things. The face isn't blurry anymore. [5:12] The eyes have actual definition. The [5:14] structure of the face is back. [5:17] This is face restoration, a dedicated AI [5:20] model trained specifically on faces. [5:22] It's not a filter. It's reconstruction. [5:25] Same model works on AI-generated art. [5:28] So, if you're someone who makes art with [5:30] Midjourney Leonardo ChatGPT [5:33] you can take a low-res output and push [5:35] it to 8K, suitable for posters, prints, [5:38] wall art. And the DPI control matters [5:41] here. You can set 300 DPI for print [5:44] quality, or higher if you're doing large [5:46] format. [5:47] Most upscalers don't expose that. This [5:50] one does. Look, I've tested a lot of AI [5:52] tools on this channel. Most of them are [5:54] one trick. They do one thing well and [5:57] force you back into your old workflow [5:59] for everything else. VideoProc Converter [6:01] AI is the opposite. It's built to [6:03] replace four or five separate apps. [6:06] Conversion, AI upscaling, frame [6:08] interpolation stabilization image [6:11] enhancement, screen recording, DVD [6:14] ripping. [6:15] All native, all offline, all on your [6:18] machine. [6:19] Two things I genuinely liked. One, it [6:21] runs locally. No cloud uploads, no [6:24] waiting on someone else's server. [6:26] Faster, more private, and you keep [6:27] [music] control of your files. Two, the [6:30] V3 models are fast. AI upscaling used to [6:33] mean leaving your computer running [6:35] overnight. With Gen Detail V3 on a [6:38] decent GPU, I was getting real-time or [6:40] close to it on most clips. One honest [6:43] note, AI enhancement is GPU heavy. If [6:46] you're on an older machine or weak [6:48] graphics, expect [music] longer [6:50] processing. That's just the nature of [6:52] the technology, not a flaw in this [6:54] specific [music] software. Quick [6:56] question before I wrap. Have you ever [6:58] actually added up what you spend on [7:00] video software in a year? [7:02] Most creator tools today are [7:03] subscriptions. 10 bucks here, [music] 15 [7:06] there, 20 for the upscaler. By the end [7:09] of the year, that's a brand [music] new [7:10] smartphone's worth of money, just [7:12] rented. VideoProc does it differently. [7:14] They sell a lifetime license. Pay once, [7:17] use forever, across Windows and Mac. [7:20] There's also a family edition for [7:21] multiple devices. [music] [7:22] And right now, they're running their [7:24] biggest deal of the year, 62% off the [7:27] lifetime license. [music] Plus, you get [7:29] four bonus tools for free, a [7:30] buy-one-get-four-free bundle. Both links [7:33] are in the description below. The first [7:35] one takes you to the AI video [7:36] enhancement page [music] if you want to [7:38] dig into the features. The second one is [7:41] the discount link. It auto applies the [7:43] deal. [7:44] If you've been duct taping five [7:46] different tools together to manage your [7:47] footage, this is the one to look at. [7:50] I'll see you in the next one.
