Macxvideo AI is an incredible AI-powered video enhancer and upscaler, making old videos back to life. Its AI models trained by the advanced deep learning algorithms is exceptional at denoising, sharpening video, and even adding authentic details while scaling video up by 200-400%, enhancing video resolution to 4K, and therefore bringing old memories new again!

Step 1. Click "Video AI" button to enter video upscaling window.

Step 2. Tap "Add Video" icon at the bottom of the window to load your input video file. Or just drag and drop the video you want to enhance to the main interface. You can preview your enhanced video effect via the preview compare window or full window.

Step 3. Tick "Super Resolution" option and choose your preferred AI model. Macxvideo AI offers 2 dedicated AI models to help you enhance and upscale different types of videos.

▪ Gen Detail V3: This AI model excels in adding authentic details while improving video clarity and sharpness. It excels in enhancing videos that require meticulous attention to details like skin, hair, animal fur, architectural textures, etc, while addressing blur and noise issues in bad-quality contents.
▪ Real Smooth V3: This AI model specializes in rendering smoother, clearer, and brighter videos, and restoring original. This AI model is tailor-made for enhancing contents with relatively fewer details, such as 2D contents, glass surfaces, smooth textures, and line drawings.

Step 4. Choose a quality mode or speed mode based on your preference.

▪ Fast Mode: Prioritize speed for rapid processing, ideal for speeding up computer-intensive projects and enhancing large video files quickly.
▪ High Quality Mode: Focus on superior visual quality, delivering exceptional details and enhanced clarity.

Step 5. Do some model settings.

1). Choose the Scale or Resolution presets you need. You can opt for 2X, 3X or 4X. The default setting goes to 2X. For video resolution below 1080p, you’re advised to choose 3X or 4X at your disposal. As for video resolution 1080p or even higher, 2X is the best option. Or you can choose the Resolution profiles, ranging from 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2K, to 4K.

Generally, the higher the multiplier, the higher the resolution clarity, but it may appear less natural. It is recommended to try different settings and preview to achieve the best results. In most cases, a two-step 200% multiplier yields better results than a one-time 400% multiplier.

2). The option "Enhance Video (1X)" is used in cases where the resolution remains unchanged, or the original resolution is relatively high, and the goal is to remove noise, blur, pixelation, and enhance the image quality without upscaling.

Step 6. Trim your video length before video upscaling and enhancing. Move the progress bar to cut off the unnecessary clips and keep your desired video duration.

Step 7. Select output video codec, quality level and GOP. Move your mouse to the lower right-hand corner of the interface and tap Export Settings, where you choose output video codec H264, HEVC, or ProRes, quality level (from Low to Highest) and GOP.

Note: GOP stands for "Group of Pictures". In video coding, it's a collection of pictures in a coded video stream that specifies the order of frames. In general, the smaller the value, the higher the quality, and the larger the value, the greater the compression. For videos with minimal motion, a value between 90 and 250 is generally sufficient; for fast-paced scenes with frequent scene changes or for GOP values used in post-production processing, a value of 30-60 is common.

Step 8. Click "Browse" button to choose a file folder for the output video storage.

Step 9. Hit the "RUN" button to begin enhancing video quality at GPU hardware accelerated speed.

Macxvideo AI Frame Interpolation function will automatically interpolate intermediate frames and increase the video frame rate (fps). By converting videos that are originally around 24fps or 30fps to high frame rates such as 60fps, 120fps, 240fps and beyond. Therefore, you can make choppy videos more natural, smooth, and create a stunning slow-mo video with ease.

This function is very suitable for anime and fast-moving action movie frame interpolation. Follow the steps below to boost your video frame rate with AI.

Step 1. Navigate to AI Frame Interpolation window just by click "Video AI" on the main UI. After clicking on the "Video AI" button, wait for the Hardware Detection process to complete.

Step 2. Click on the "Add Video" button or simply drag and drop a video you want to interpolate video frame to this program. Once loaded, you will get the operation panel.

Section A: Import File

Click on the "Add Video" button to add more videos. Macxvideo AI lets you process more than one video at the same time, including video enhancement and frame interpolation.

Section B: Playback Window

- The original video is displayed in the left window, and the interpolated video will be previewed in the right. You can choose the switch button to choose a preview mode.

- You can see the original and interpolated video information at the top.

Section C: Frame Interpolation Settings

Check "Frame Interpolation" box and you can start frame interpolating your video to 60fps, 120fps, 240fps, and even 480fps..

Set FPS: Choose from 2X, 3X, 4X, and 5X to set the desired FPS.

▪ [2X]: Double the frame rate. For example, you can change a video that originally had a frame rate of 30fps to 60fps.
▪ [3X]: Triple the frame rate. For example, you can change a video that originally had a frame rate of 30fps to 90fps.
▪ [4X]: Quadruple the frame rate. For example, you can change a video that originally had a frame rate of 30fps to 120fps.
▪ [5X]: Quintuple the frame rate. For example, you can change a video that originally had a frame rate of 30fps to 150fps.

Tip: To achieve the desired frame rate, one can repeat the process multiple times to reach the target frame rate. For instance, selecting 2X twice can convert a 30fps video to 60fps and subsequently to 120fps. This approach yields superior output quality compared to directly choosing 4X.

Skip Scene Changes: Whether to always compare the difference between two frames and not insert the frame if the difference is too large.

- When to disable it:

If the scene in the video does not change much, there is no need to check this option. For example, if the adjacent frames are all about playing basketball, Macxvideo AI will interpolate your video to give you a smoother and higher-quality video.

- When to enable it:

If the adjacent frames are very different, you are suggested to check this option to not perform frame interpolation to avoid artifacts. For example, the first frame is about playing basketball and the second is about playing table tennis where the two pictures change a lot, enable this option will tell Macxvideo AI’ frame interpolation function to skip the two frames.

When "Skip Scene Changes" is enabled, you can adjust the value of "Sensitivity" to detect scene changes.

[Sensitivity]: You can set the value from 0 to 100. A higher value will assume and skip more scene changes. The best sensitivity setting is 85.

If the value is low, you tell Macxvideo AI the scene changes less, and the frame interpolation will be more frequent. However, the actual scene changes a lot and should not be interpolated. As a consequence, the frame interpolation makes the video look bad.

If the value is set high, you tell Macxvideo AI that the scene changes a lot and it will skip the adjacent frames. The interpolation frequency is relatively low, which also avoids picture distortion.

Slow Motion: Slow down playback speed to see more details.

Create slow-motion video by choosing 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X to slow down the playback speed. For example, you can create a slow-motion video about the passing through an egg, a water glass, a watermelon, etc.

Section D: Export Settings

Once you finish adjusting the frame interpolation settings, you can set the export settings.

▪ Video Codec: You can choose H.264, HEVC, or ProRes to encode your video.
▪ Audio Codec: You can choose Passthrough or AAC to encode your audio. *Pass-through is a safe choice if you want to copy the source audio without changing it, and AAC is a safe choice if you want to reduce the file size while maintaining high audible quality.
▪ Quality Level: You can choose output video quality from Low, Medium, and High.
▪ GOP: The smaller the value, the higher the quality, and the higher the value, the greater the compression. For videos with little movement changes, 90-250 is generally sufficient; for videos with fast action and many scene changes, the GOP value is generally 30-60. If there is no particular need, simply use the default value of GOP as is.
▪ Output Folder: Click on the "Browse" button to choose a folder on your computer to save the interpolated video. Or click on "Open" to open Macxvideo AI folder.

Step 3. Hit the RUN button to start the frame interpolating your video with Macxvideo AI.

Note: Your export video will be saved in MP4 format. If you need another format, you can use Macxvideo AI’s "video conversion" function.

Macxvideo AI utilizes cutting-edge AI technology to refine rough images, remove noise from photos, sharpen blurry photos, and upscale low-resolution images up to 4 times for high-quality enhancement. You can even restore face, and colorize black and white photos at will. Use the following steps to enhance your images.

Step 1. Click the "Image AI" button on the main interface and the Image AI window should appear.

Step 2. Load the image file you'd like to enhance. You can directly drag the image and drop it to the window or click the "Add Image" button at the bottom to select an image file to import. You can select more than one image to import for batch processing.

Step 3. Choose one AI model as per your needs. As it is mentioned above in video enhancing, Macxvideo AI is also integrated with the 2 dedicated AI models in Super Resolution during image enhancement.

▪ You can opt for Gen Detail v3 model if you want to generate more realistic details, improve texture stability after super-resolution, or handle images that commonly suffer from checkerboard and block artifacts.
▪ Choose Real Smooth v3 if you'd like to make a smoother, clearer, and brighter image while generate details.

It's worth mentioning that the deblur and denoise technogies are implemented althrough the 2 AI models. That means you can remove blur and noise from the images whatever AI models you choose.

Step 4. Adjust Super Resolution Model Settings: There are 3 settings available for you to choose.

▪ For clean enlargement so that you can view your images on bigger screen, print them later, or so without distortion, check 'Scale' and select '2X', '3X', or '4X'. This program allows to scale up to 4K/8K/10K.
▪ Opt for the 'Resolution' presets if you'd like to directly convert your image to 1080p, 2K, 4K, or 8K.
▪ To improve only the image quality, remove noise, grain, blur, and pixelation from your video, or restore your old images, check 'Enhance Image (1X)'.

Step 5. Ajust Export Settings: Generally, default settings work fine. If needed, customize the image format (JPG or PNG), set preferred Image Level (0-10), choose a proper DPI option (e.g. 72DPI, 300DPI, 500DPI, 1000DPI) for quality prints, and save location based on your preferences.

Step 6. Click the "RUN" button at the bottom right to initiate the image enhancement process. Once completed, check the effects of the enhanced image in the designated save folder or the preview window.

Macxvideo AI offers an easy solution for you to restore faces, whether they are close-ups, group portraits, or in distant subjects, so those memories can live on.

If you are going to reduce video file size, take advantages of the Video Compress feature, which allows you to compress large 4K or high-frame-rate video to the target size without compromising too much quality.

The built-in Compress option in toolkit lets you easily compress video to be up to 90% smaller than original without compromising quality.

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Go to the Toolbox, and find the "Compress".

Step 3. Enter the target file size you desire. Or you can drag the slider to change the compression ratio from 10% to 100%.

Step 4. Optionally, you can lower down the resolution, or drag the orange knobs under the preview window to further cut down video length and downsize the video.

Step 5. Click Done and hit "RUN" to begin compressing video.

This program gives you full control over the parameter settings. By adjusting video codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, GOP, etc, you can also reduce video file size with acceptable quality.

Please be aware that the program is preloaded with pre-configured profiles with best balance in size and quality, you can rely on the profiles if you don't want to mess around with the settings. But if you are an advanced user, feel free to set the settings for your specific needs.

Option 1. Change Codec

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Go to the "Target Format", hit "Video", and choose "MP4 HEVC" as the output format.

Step 3. Hit RUN to begin shrinking video size using advanced HEVC codec.

Note: You can also change the codec to VP9 if you are using WebM as the output format. Please make sure to check the box of hardware acceleration and not to check "Auto Copy" option at the right side.

Option 2. Lower Bitrate

Video bitrate is closely related to the video file size. Higher bitrate makes better image quality but larger file size. Generally, you can lower the bitrate value than the default quality setting to compress video without perceivable quality degradation. For a 4K video, the recommended bitrate is between 35mbps and 45mbps at standard frame rate and 53mbps and 68mbps at high frame rate. For a FHD 1080p video, the recommended bitrate is between 8-12mbps.

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Click the "Codec Option" where you can change the settings.

Step 3. Drag the Quality slider to the left, which ensures faster processing speed and smaller file size, but produces relatively poor quality compared with the right.

Note: The target bitrate automatically changes as you move the quality slider. Optionally, you can manually set the bitrate to lower value by selecting "Manual" as the "Bit rate" mode, in such way to reduce video file size.

Option 3. Reduce video resolution

Video resolution is the number of pixels in a video frame. The more pixels a video has, the more detail it will have and the clearer it will look. But a video of higher resolution such as 4K also involves in bigger file size and may be of no dramastic difference on a small screen like mobile phone compared with a video of lower resolution 1080. You can downsize video by lowering down resolution.

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Click the "Codec Option" where you can change the settings.

Step 3. Find the "Resolution" under the "Video Codec Options" column, choose a video resolution lower than the original one from the drop down list.

Note: You are available to customize the video resolution by clicking the "Custom" button next to the "Resolution".

Option 4. Decrease video frame rate

Video frame rate, also referred to as FPS (frames per second), measures how many frames appear within a second. Higher frame rate generally results in smoother video quality. But when the frame rate is too high, especially in a video without too much motion, it will look unnatural and the video may suffer frame what is called the "Soap opera effect" and big file size. So you can decrease video frame rate to further shrink video.

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Click the "Codec Option" where you can change the settings.

Step 3. Find the "Frame Rate" under the "Video Codec Options" column, choose a desired video frame rate as you want from the drop down list.

Note: Please uncheck the "Auto Copy" option from the right side.

Option 5. Increase the GOP

GOP stands for group of picture. In video coding, it is a collection of successive pictures within a coded video stream. A GOP structure includes I-frames (intra-coded frames) and P-frames (predictive coded frames), as well as B-frames (bi-directionally predictive coded frames). Generally, a higher GOP value means more opportunities to compress, and therefore smaller the overall file size.

Step 1. Drag and drop the source video to the interface, or click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the video you want to compress.

Step 2. Click the "Codec Option" where you can change the settings.

Step 3. Find the "GOP" under the "Video Codec Options" column, choose a desired GOP value as you want.

Note: By default, the GOP is 250, meant to achieve a higher compression rate. If you have a video of low motion, you can leave the value unchanged. Generally, the value between 90 and 250 is OK. But if you have some videos of high motion such as some extreme sports, make sure to set the GOP value between 30 and 60.

Note: You can also change the audio settings such as bitrate, sample rate, or channel number to further reduce the video file size.
