Video Enhancement

Use this to: clean up and upscale videos. One video or a batch, same settings for the whole batch.

Steps

  1. Open Video tab.
  2. Drop videos in Input video(s).
  3. For first try: leave Neural settings default, set Encoding quality: Auto, Codec: H.264, Container: MP4.
  4. Press Preview 3 sec (appears when exactly 1 video selected) to test look + speed.
  5. Press Render video(s).
  6. Right side: player + Rendered video files + Batch results table.

Players show only for single-video jobs. Batches give files + table instead — that's by design.

Batch runs in the order you see, one by one. A failure doesn't stop the rest.

Advanced
  • Codec: plain H.264 / H.265 / AV1 uses CPU encoding. ... (NVIDIA NVENC) uses GPU encoding. Neural enhancement itself still requires a supported NVIDIA RTX GPU. ProRes Proxy = CPU-only, needs MKV or MOV.
  • Quality: Auto picks bitrate from size / FPS / codec. Good = 2x, Best = 4x, Max = lossless-ish. Bigger = slower + larger file.
  • Container: MP4 plays everywhere. MKV keeps subtitles + all audio tracks. MOV needed for some ProRes workflows.
  • HDR Mode: off by default. Turn on only with H.265 / AV1 / ProRes if your source is HDR and you want to keep HDR (10-bit). H.264 stays SDR.
  • Rename: Auto = timestamp, Copy = keep original name, Custom = add your suffix. Existing files are never overwritten.
  • Stop: cancels current encode, deletes only the unfinished file. Done files stay, queued files become Skipped.
  • Kept automatically: timing, rotation, metadata, chapters. Audio → AAC 192k in MP4/MOV, copied in MKV when compatible.
  • If final player says transcoded to H.264, that's just the preview — your file in outputs/ is unchanged. See Preview Encoding in Settings Explained.
