Key Features of Video AI Pro
Standalone Application and Plugin Support
Video AI Pro is a standalone application compatible with Windows and macOS. It also supports plugins for popular editing software like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe After Effects. The application can handle various formats, including Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR, H.264/5, VP9, AV1, OpenEXR, PNG, JPG, TIFF, DPX, and Cineform.

Denoising
Video AI Pro’s denoising feature is powered by AI trained on millions of video frames. It can intelligently differentiate between noise and detail to enhance video quality.
Stabilization
The stabilization technology in Video AI Pro stands out by not cropping into the image. Instead, it recreates the image edges, recovering details lost due to unwanted camera movement and reducing blur caused by motion and slow shutter speeds.
Upscaling
The tool can upscale footage from 4K/8K to resolutions as high as 24K. This feature is particularly useful for creating high-definition content for devices like the Apple Vision Pro.
