Check minimum system requirements to use Aiarty Video Enhancer.

2. How does Aiarty Video Enhancer increase video quality?

Aiarty Video Enhancer is AI-powered with 3 integrated AI models for you to select from to enhance the quality of different videos. It won't require you to download models and tweak complex parameters. Once an AI model and upscaling factor (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K) have been chosen, Aiarty Video Enhancer will proceed to automatically enhance video texture details, remove noise, deblur, upscale videos, and improve their clarity.

3. Which AI model should I use to enhance my videos?

Aiarty Video Enhancer provides 3 AI models to help you enhance and upscale different types of videos.

• moDetail-HQ (Diffusion + GAN): It combines Diffusion and GAN technologies to deliver powerful deblurring and denoising, with a particular edge in recovering fine textures such as hair strands, flowers, and outdoor plants.It enhances clarity and sharpness while preserving intricate image details, making it ideal for high-precision restoration. Especially effective in daylight outdoor scenes, nature shots, and portraits where sharp texture and natural detail are essential.
• Smooth-HQ (Diffusion): It uses pure diffusion technology for balanced and natural deblurring and denoising. It excels in removing video flaws while preserving authentic color and texture continuity, ensuring smooth and clean output. Ideal for general video enhancement, especially useful in scenes with people, indoor lighting, or moderate imperfections that need subtle yet effective restoration.
• superVideo (Diffusion + GAN): It leverages Diffusion and GAN with a strong focus on denoising under extreme low-light conditions. It delivers industry-leading noise reduction and detail recovery even in very dark scenes, such as night skies, urban nightscapes, or dimly lit interiors. While slower in processing, it ensures the best possible quality when denoise performance is the top priority.

For those prioritizing speed, "Turbo Mode" is available. This mode is optimized for inference speed with slight quality tradeoff.

4. What’s the maximum resolution can I enhance my videos to?

Aiarty Video Enhancer can enhance and upscale videos to high resolution up to 4K. Users can choose either a target resolution or an upscaling option.

5. What types of videos can Aiarty Video Enhancer enhance?

Aiarty Video Enhancer has been trained on massive real-world and AI-generated video content. Powered by advanced Denoise+Deblur algorithms and state-of-the-art generative AI techniques, it's especially useful to improve low-resolution, noisy, and blurry videos.

It not only excels in restoring texture details in legacy videos but also making high-definition videos clearer, smoother, and more natural-looking. Therefore, you can use it to enhance and upscale old home movies, anime, gameplay footage, security camera footage, documentary footage, film reels, and more. It works well with videos that are camera-captured or AI-generated, supporting enhancements for portrait-style videos, landscape scenes, animation, vintage footage, and even face restoration in low-quality recordings.

6. What kind of video format does Aiarty Video Enhancer support?

Aiarty Video Enhancer supports all common video formats.

• Import: .avi, .flv, .mp4, .mkv, .mov, .webm, .wmv, .ts, .m2ts, .mts, .m4v, .3gp, .3g2, .rm, .rmvb, .mpeg, .mxf, .ogv, .vob, .asf, .divx, and .f4v (Check full list >>)
• Export: .mp4, .mov

7. Is there a file size or number limit to import to Aiarty Video Enhancer?

The maximum file size of a video you can import to Aiarty Video Enhancer is 4K. But if you import a 4K video, you can only use the x1 enhancement function to denoise, deblur, and dejpeg your video to a higher quality.

There is no number limit. You can add videos to Aiarty Video Enhancer as many as possible to batch enhance and upscale them.

8. Are videos for training Aiarty Video Enhancer from copyrighted sources?

Aiarty Video Enhancer is trained with tons of videos, ranging from interviews to vlogs, wildlife to travel footage, cinematic scenes to surveillance recordings, and handheld smartphone videos to AI-generated content. We are copyright-conscious, so the source materials used to train Aiarty Video Enhancer are all purchased from authorized sites and owned by ourselves.

Our AI software is designed to improve existing works or content rather than creating new ones. By analyzing the video inputted into the application, it is able to identify the elements within the video and enhance them based on the specified parameters.

Hardware Acceleration

1. How long will it take to enhance a video?

Aiarty Video Enhancer's AI models are meticulously optimized for NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30, 40, and 50 series GPUs, achieving up to 95% GPU utilization for significantly faster performance than competitors. To illustrate, on an RTX 5090, it boasts an impressive 20 fps for 2K to 4K upscaling. This powerful synergy of dedicated hardware acceleration and finely-tuned AI models results in remarkably quicker video processing.

2. When should I use hardware acceleration?

You can choose to turn on hardware acceleration when you need to do graphically intensive tasks like enhancing 4K UHD video in Aiarty Video Enhancer, etc. Additionally, ensure you have modern graphics card drivers, video cards, and the latest versions of applications to avoid compatibility issues.

3. Why does AI video enhancing take longer than regular video processing?

AI-driven video enhancement algorithms often demand significant computational power, exceeding the requirements of standard video conversion and processing tasks. That said, Aiarty Video Enhancer fully leverages hardware acceleration, featuring high-efficiency AI models meticulously optimized for GPUs. This results in noticeably faster processing times compared to many similar tools on the market. Keep in mind, though, that actual processing speeds will still depend on your computer's overall performance and the capabilities of your graphics card.

To ensure optimal performance for AI video enhancement, it's advisable to verify the minimum hardware specifications.

Aiarty Video Enhancer further boosts performance with its "Turbo Mode." On a computer running Nividia RTX 5090, Aiarty upscales 2K to 4K at a fluid 30fps in Turbo Mode, compared to its already impressive standard processing speed of 20fps.

Troubleshooting

1. The software cannot launch and prompts that the graphics card driver is outdated.

When this error occurs, it can be caused by different reasons:

1. There is no dedicated graphics card detected.

2. The graphics card does not support OpenGL 3.3. The minimum GPU requirements:

• NVIDIA: G80 architecture or newer, e.g., GeForce 8800GTX (late 2006) and above
• AMD: R600 architecture or newer, e.g., Radeon HD 2900XT (mid-2007) and above
• Intel: Westmere architecture or newer, e.g., HD Graphics 500 (2010) and above

3. The primary display is not connected to a supported graphics card. Some users may have installed a dedicated GPU but connected their monitor to the motherboard instead. In such cases, if the integrated GPU does not meet the above requirements, the software will not launch.

2. CUDA version is outdated. Please upgrade to continue using CUDA, or the software will switch to DirectML.

It means your current CUDA version does not meet the minimum requirements for running this software. You need to upgrade CUDA to continue using GPU acceleration. Below are the minimum GPU requirements:

• For NVIDIA 20 Series and Above: Required CUDA Version: 12.8 or higher; Minimum GPU Compute Capability: 7.5.
• For NVIDIA 10 Series (e.g., GTX 1060, GTX 1080, etc.): Required CUDA Version: 11.8 or higher; Minimum GPU Compute Capability: 6.1.

3. Why doesn’t the preview show the enhanced effect while the video is playing?

When playing your clip in the preview area, the right-hand side defaults to displaying the original, unenhanced version for smooth playback performance. To accurately see the full enhanced effect and compare it with the original, simply pause the playback. This allows the software to render the high-quality enhanced frame for your review.

For a more detailed comparison and to assess the final quality, we highly recommend cutting a small segment of your video and exporting it. This provides the most accurate representation of the enhancement.
