This AI Upscaler is Actually Insane! - Enhance Video to 4K Easy and Fast!

[00:00] Every single one of those clips was

[00:02] unwatchable 30 seconds ago. Blurry,

[00:05] shaky, stuck in 480p.

[00:08] The kind of [music] footage you scroll

[00:10] past on your hard drive and never touch

[00:12] again. And every single one was fixed by

[00:14] one piece of software. Not five tools,

[00:18] not a subscription stack.

[00:19] >> [music]

[00:19] >> One.

[00:21] I've been testing it for the last 2

[00:22] weeks on my own old footage. [music]

[00:24] Stuff I actually shot and gave up on.

[00:27] And what it pulled off genuinely

[00:28] surprised me. So, in this video, I'm

[00:30] going to show you exactly what it can

[00:32] do, run my own tests on camera, and tell

[00:35] you [music] whether it's actually worth

[00:36] your money. Let's get into it. Real

[00:38] question, how many video tools do you

[00:41] have installed right now? One for format

[00:43] conversion, one for upscaling, one for

[00:45] editing, maybe one more for compression.

[00:48] Every time you make a video, it feels

[00:50] like you're playing a game of software

[00:52] hopscotch. [music] Export from one tool,

[00:54] import into the next, export again,

[00:57] repeat. And it's not [music] just

[00:59] annoying, it's killing your quality.

[01:01] Every export, every conversion, you lose

[01:04] something. VideoProc Converter AI is

[01:06] basically the answer to that mess. One

[01:09] software, conversion, AI enhancement,

[01:12] editing, screen recording, and DVD

[01:15] ripping, all in one place. Which means

[01:17] today, instead of demoing five tools, I

[01:20] just need to show you one. Let's start

[01:23] with the part that surprised me most.

[01:25] Super resolution is the headline

[01:26] feature, and it's the one I want to test

[01:29] the hardest because everyone says their

[01:31] AI upscaler is the best. Here's how it

[01:33] actually works.

[01:35] You drop in a low resolution video. The

[01:37] AI rebuilds detail, not by stretching

[01:40] pixels, but by reconstructing texture,

[01:42] edges, and sharpness based on what it's

[01:45] been trained on. And VideoProc just

[01:47] upgraded their models. The new Gen

[01:50] Detail V3 and Real Smooth V3 are between

[01:53] 40 and 80% faster than the older

[01:55] versions. Which matters because the

[01:58] biggest problem with AI upscaling has

[02:00] always been the wait. I'm loading in a

[02:02] clip from one of my older videos. 480p

[02:06] looks rough on a modern screen. Two

[02:08] model choices matter here. Gen Detail V3

[02:11] is the one I use for footage with

[02:13] people, [music] faces, fabric, hair,

[02:16] anything where texture matters.

[02:18] Real Smooth V3 is the one I use for

[02:21] cleaner footage that just needs noise

[02:22] removed and resolution bumped up. I'm

[02:25] going with Gen Detail V3. Upscale ratio,

[02:29] four times. That takes 480p straight to

[02:32] nearly [music] 4K.

[02:34] Okay, here's the result. Original on the

[02:36] left, upscaled on the right. Same clip,

[02:39] same colors, but look at the edges.

[02:41] [music] Look at the texture on the

[02:43] shirt. Look at how the face actually has

[02:45] structure now. This is not a sharpening

[02:47] filter. Sharpening makes [music] blurry

[02:49] footage look crispy and weird. This is

[02:51] genuine detail reconstruction. The AI is

[02:54] filling in information that wasn't

[02:56] there. I ran it again on an older test

[02:58] clip, the kind of footage you'd find on

[03:00] an old hard drive, family video, VHS

[03:04] rip, whatever. Same process, same

[03:06] models, and the result speaks for

[03:08] itself. This is the kind of footage you

[03:11] used to just write off as unusable.

[03:13] Super resolution is the headline, but

[03:16] it's not the only AI tool inside this

[03:18] thing. Two more I want to show you

[03:20] quickly, frame interpolation

[03:23] >> [music]

[03:23] >> and stabilization. Both live in the same

[03:25] module, no extra purchase.

[03:28] Frame interpolation takes low frame rate

[03:30] footage, say, 24 or 30 frames per

[03:33] second, and generates new frames between

[03:36] the existing ones.

[03:37] You can push footage up to 120, 240,

[03:41] even 480 frames per second, [music]

[03:44] which is huge for two things.

[03:46] One, smoother playback on modern

[03:48] displays.

[03:49] Two, buttery slow motion from footage

[03:52] that was never shot slow mo to begin

[03:54] with.

[03:55] This was 30 frames per second going in,

[03:58] 120 going out, and the motion still

[04:01] looks natural. Not that weird soap opera

[04:03] effect you get from bad interpolation.

[04:06] Stabilization is the other one.

[04:08] Old school stabilization makes you tweak

[04:11] smoothness translation perspective.

[04:14] Four different sliders, none of which

[04:16] mean anything to a normal person.

[04:19] AI stabilization here is one click. No

[04:22] sliders. It just figures it out. Watch

[04:25] this shaky handheld clip become steady.

[04:27] That's the whole interaction. Okay,

[04:29] switching gears. Everything I've shown

[04:31] so far has been video, but this software

[04:34] has a completely separate image AI

[04:36] module. And honestly, it might be the

[04:38] most useful part for most people. Three

[04:41] things it does. Upscales any image up to

[04:43] 10K resolution, restores face clarity in

[04:47] old or low-quality photos, and sets DPI

[04:51] for print, which matters if you're ever

[04:53] printing artwork, posters, or photos.

[04:56] This is an old photo, low resolution,

[04:58] the kind you'd find in a folder you

[05:00] forgot existed. Four times upscale. Gen

[05:04] detail phi 3. Watch the face. [music]

[05:07] This is the part that genuinely changes

[05:09] things. The face isn't blurry anymore.

[05:12] The eyes have actual definition. The

[05:14] structure of the face is back.

[05:17] This is face restoration, a dedicated AI

[05:20] model trained specifically on faces.

[05:22] It's not a filter. It's reconstruction.

[05:25] Same model works on AI-generated art.

[05:28] So, if you're someone who makes art with

[05:30] Midjourney Leonardo ChatGPT

[05:33] you can take a low-res output and push

[05:35] it to 8K, suitable for posters, prints,

[05:38] wall art. And the DPI control matters

[05:41] here. You can set 300 DPI for print

[05:44] quality, or higher if you're doing large

[05:46] format.

[05:47] Most upscalers don't expose that. This

[05:50] one does. Look, I've tested a lot of AI

[05:52] tools on this channel. Most of them are

[05:54] one trick. They do one thing well and

[05:57] force you back into your old workflow

[05:59] for everything else. VideoProc Converter

[06:01] AI is the opposite. It's built to

[06:03] replace four or five separate apps.

[06:06] Conversion, AI upscaling, frame

[06:08] interpolation stabilization image

[06:11] enhancement, screen recording, DVD

[06:14] ripping.

[06:15] All native, all offline, all on your

[06:18] machine.

[06:19] Two things I genuinely liked. One, it

[06:21] runs locally. No cloud uploads, no

[06:24] waiting on someone else's server.

[06:26] Faster, more private, and you keep

[06:27] [music] control of your files. Two, the

[06:30] V3 models are fast. AI upscaling used to

[06:33] mean leaving your computer running

[06:35] overnight. With Gen Detail V3 on a

[06:38] decent GPU, I was getting real-time or

[06:40] close to it on most clips. One honest

[06:43] note, AI enhancement is GPU heavy. If

[06:46] you're on an older machine or weak

[06:48] graphics, expect [music] longer

[06:50] processing. That's just the nature of

[06:52] the technology, not a flaw in this

[06:54] specific [music] software. Quick

[06:56] question before I wrap. Have you ever

[06:58] actually added up what you spend on

[07:00] video software in a year?

[07:02] Most creator tools today are

[07:03] subscriptions. 10 bucks here, [music] 15

[07:06] there, 20 for the upscaler. By the end

[07:09] of the year, that's a brand [music] new

[07:10] smartphone's worth of money, just

[07:12] rented. VideoProc does it differently.

[07:14] They sell a lifetime license. Pay once,

[07:17] use forever, across Windows and Mac.

[07:20] There's also a family edition for

[07:21] multiple devices. [music]

[07:22] And right now, they're running their

[07:24] biggest deal of the year, 62% off the

[07:27] lifetime license. [music] Plus, you get

[07:29] four bonus tools for free, a

[07:30] buy-one-get-four-free bundle. Both links

[07:33] are in the description below. The first

[07:35] one takes you to the AI video

[07:36] enhancement page [music] if you want to

[07:38] dig into the features. The second one is

[07:41] the discount link. It auto applies the

[07:43] deal.

[07:44] If you've been duct taping five

[07:46] different tools together to manage your

[07:47] footage, this is the one to look at.

[07:50] I'll see you in the next one.
