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.

2. Multi-GPU Rendering: This feature can increase rendering speeds by up to ten times, depending on the number and performance of the GPUs.
3. Export Options: Finished footage can be exported in YUV 4:2:0, 4:2:2, or 4:4:4 at up to 16-bit per channel RGB.
