AI-based Video Enhancer Tutorial
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will explore the capabilities of Hitbox, an AI-based video enhancer that can automatically enhance the quality of any Joby video up to 8K high resolution. We will be using the free version of Heat Pop Video Enhancer to demonstrate the four AI models and their results.
Step 1: Try it for Free
Before diving into the tutorial, we recommend trying the free version of Heat Pop Video Enhancer. Simply open the provided link in a Chrome browser, go to the website, and select the desktop option. Click on the "Try it for Free" button to download the software to your laptop or PC. Once the download is complete, a shortcut will be created, allowing you to access the interface.
Interface Overview
Upon launching the interface, you will see four AI models on the right-hand side, which we will demonstrate throughout this tutorial. These models include the General Denise model, Animation model, Face model, and Colorization model.
General Denise Model
The General Denise model works for any video and is the most versatile of the four models. To use this model, select the "Choose File" option and choose the respective file. Import the file to the dashboard and preview it. You can check the resolution and customize it up to 8K if needed. The timing for this process can be set as desired.
MP4 Format and Preview
The video enhancer will export the final video in MP4 format only. To preview the effect, it may take a while to show the preview. The preview will display the original video quality on the left side (1280x720) and the enhanced video quality on the right side (3840x2160, 4K resolution). The enhanced video quality is achieved using the general denoising model.
Exporting the Final Video
To export the final video, go to the right-hand side corner of the preview window and click on the "Export" option. The video will be exported to the folder you selected earlier. The export process may take some time to complete.
Comparison of Original and Enhanced Videos
After exporting the final video, you can compare the original video with the enhanced video. The enhanced video will display a significant improvement in quality and sharpness.
Animation Model
The Animation model is ideal for enhancing the quality of animated videos with characters. This model works well for any animated video, even those not created by the user. To use the Animation model, go to the "Import" option and select a generic animated video to upload. The Animation model will enhance the beauty and sharpness of the animated video.
Note
The user can adjust the video settings and combinations to achieve the desired level of enhancement. In this example, we are keeping the video setting at 4K resolution.
Preview Effect and Face Model in Video Editing Software
Preview Effect
The Preview effect will take some time to show the difference after implementing the Animation model. Wait for a while to see the difference between the high-resolution animation and the previous video. Check the preview by running the video from the bottom left-hand side button and see how it looks for a while. Once satisfied, exit the preview mode and go to the bottom right-hand side corner export option to start exporting the video. Select the folder and wait for the job to be done.
Face Model
The Face model works for any close-up face video where the face is shown in a very close dimension and the face is bright. Import an appropriate video for the Face model, such as a dull face video. Apply the Face model and see the difference in the preview. The Face model will enhance the video by reducing blurness and graininess, and improving color saturation and hue. Play the video for a while to check and once satisfied, exit the preview mode and export the video.
Colorization with Hippo AI
We don't need a browser or internet connection to use Hippo AI, making it a local software. Let's proceed to the fourth option, which is colorization. We'll import a black and white video and see how the AI colorization model works. The black and white video has no color, no hue, and no saturation, making it a neutral starting point. We'll apply the AI colorization model to the video and wait for the result.
Output: The colorized video is created with natural and beautiful colors, which is amazing.
Final Result: The colorized video can be exported for use.
