Focusing on Image Quality and Dynamic Portrait Processing

• Select the restoration setting based on the source material:Image restoration is available for portraits, AI-enhanced high-definition, games, anime, and more; the restoration level is adjustable, allowing you to choose between enhanced detail and the original texture.
• Carefully retouch each character individually:Portrait beautification includes one-click beautification and adjustments to facial features. It can recognize multiple people in a scene and supports applying different beautification effects to different video clips.
• Additional details regarding specific visual issues:The toolset provides options for noise reduction, color enhancement, AI color grading, night scene enhancement, and video frame interpolation, allowing you to select the appropriate processing method based on the issues with your footage.

Test a clip first, then process the full footage.

If you're only applying sharpness enhancement, you can use it directly.Web Image Quality Restoration: Upload a video, select the appropriate preset, and adjust the enhancement level. After processing, preview and export the video in “Recent Tasks.” The web version supports batch import of files or folders; the batch size limit is determined by your account privileges.

We recommend starting with short clips that include facial movements, shadowed areas, and fast-moving action to test the stability of skin texture, facial contours, and continuous footage before processing longer clips. Since AI enhancement adds details to the footage, you should retain the original footage and avoid treating the processed results as proof of the subject’s actual features.

Terminals and credit limits must be confirmed separately.

The desktop version supports video formats such as MP4, MOV, and MKV. The official website states that the Premiere Pro plugin is compatible with version 2020 and later.
