AI Video Restoration & Enhancement Settings Guide

🎯 Enhancement Presets

The Enhancement/Restoration Strength slider selects one of four presets (0–3). Each preset tunes the AI noise scales for a different look.

Preset 0

✨ Sharp

Best for: Modern footage, YouTube videos, ads, corporate content — anything that just needs upscaling without color or texture changes

Strength 0
Why this preset: Zero noise injection means the AI upscales your footage as faithfully as possible — maximum sharpness, no added texture or grain. Ideal when your source material is already clean and you just want a higher resolution.
Preset 1 — Default

🔧 Historical Restoration

Best for: VHS tapes, old films, archival footage, heavily degraded or compressed clips

Strength 1
Why this preset: High input noise helps the AI aggressively rebuild damaged or noisy footage while the lower latent noise keeps the output stable. This is the default and recommended starting point for most restoration work.
Preset 2

🎬 Enhanced

Best for: Moderate-quality footage you want polished — phone videos, screen recordings, social media clips

Strength 2
Why this preset: A gentle touch of noise gives the AI just enough freedom to clean up minor artifacts and add subtle detail without altering the character of your footage. Great middle ground between Sharp and Historical Restoration.
Preset 3

🔥 Enhanced Warm

Best for: Footage where you want a warmer, richer cinematic feel — documentaries, interviews, vintage-modern blends

Strength 3
Why this preset: Low input noise keeps the source clean while higher latent noise lets the AI add warmth and subtle stylization in the generation step. The result has a richer, more cinematic texture compared to Enhanced.

Resolution Reference

Available output resolutions depend on your video's orientation:

Video TypeAvailable Resolutions
Horizontal (16:9)720p, 1080p
Vertical (9:16)540p, 720p
Tip: Lower resolutions process significantly faster. Use 720p for quick previews to dial in your strength, then go higher for your final render.

Strength At a Glance

The strength slider selects one of four discrete presets (0–3). Each position maps to tuned noise parameters:

0
Sharp — faithful upscale, no noise added
1
Historical Restoration — aggressive rebuild for damaged footage (default)
2
Enhanced — gentle cleanup and detail boost
3
Enhanced Warm — cinematic warmth and richer texture
Tip: Start with Historical Restoration (1) for old or degraded footage, or Sharp (0) for clean source material. Try Enhanced (2) or Enhanced Warm (3) if you want a polished but natural look.
