This tool works wonders! The face enhancement is particularly noticeable. Both the deinterlacing and sharpening effects are impressive. Grateful for the tutorial for AVCLabs!
I heard that they upgraded the STANDARD and ULTRA models, so I upgraded the program to the latest version currently available. I think the results are even better than before.
I have not tried the update but will be doing so shortly. However, that is one of the things about AI programs - they should get better as the AI learns more about upscaling and is one of the reasons to keep your sunscription going because it should get better over time.
I have tried all the AI colourising programs I know about - if you want to see how to do this with Photoshop one still at a time there is a video on my channel as well. None of them are prefect and you get a better job by painting one frame at a time - but that requires skill and is VERY time-consuming. For me AVC did the best job and you could tweak the results as well.
I tried to test it but it couldn't open .avi files encoded with the Edius codec. Of the ones I've tested so far, Nero was the only AI Upscaler which couldn't open them natively.
@@hijesscia Considering that even many low grade editors open it, I think it's odd. You would think they would have realized that there are tons of 480 projects out there which were edited on legacy Edius because of it's highly regarded codec. It's these projects which would use AI for upscaling. You don't need it as much if your project is already 1080 to start with, unless the footage was garbage. Watching unprocessed 480 being stretched to 1080...man- that's painful to watch.
Hi, first I have to say thanks so much, I have had AVClab for over a year and with your video I am doing better now. My problem is coloring black and white video. My problem is coloring changes almost every frame, it gets heacyer or lighter and... almost each fram . Do you have any advice there? I did change the render factor and playes with soft or not,,, still so much color changing every frame. If you have any advice... Thanks again.
Sorry, only just seen this. All the AI colourises i have tried are not that consistent over frames unfortunately. AVC does the best job of the ones I have tried IMO. I generally take the video into Resolve Studio and apply a flicker fixer - only in the studio version - and it makes the changes less noticable. The other option is Neat Video (both things you have to buy and use in an editing program). This makes it a bit better I also find its a bit too yellow so tweak the colour slightly. However, no AI currently does as good a job as colouring each frame yourself. Hopefully they will get better.
Yes, I tried ultra multi-frame on this and did get the crazy flickering..........because I'm using a GTX1660 Super.. WOW did that perpetual license $$$ go up...someone may be better off getting Topaz for the same price.
I upconvert from 4x3 SD to 4x3 HD (1920x1440), then go into an editing program and choose which bit of the picture I want to use (top, middle or bottom). You can convert directly in the program and it will just keep the middle but that might not be the part of the image you want to keep. You can do this anyway in all editing programs but what the AI will do is better upscaling than you can achieve inside editing programs.

I agree; Ai image improvement continues ti get better.
Shocked by the face enhancement feature.👍
The effect is impressive.

Can you please do a video on the changes in the latest update?
I downloaded and installed the demo-version for windows. I converted one video, but the result has a WATERMARK. Did you mention this in your video?
No I did not mention the watermark. Topaz and HitPaw do this too. However, it does let you judge the quality.
I like the colorizing feature. I'm looking for a way to convert my parents' wedding video to color. I'll try AVCLabs.

Really awesome video you provide. Could you possibly make a test for Nero AI Video Upscaler as well? I would love to watch it.

@@williammchugh4361 Thank you for your excellent point. I thought Nero AI also needed to support it.

I think Topaz is really good at upscaling and I have that as well. AVC has the colourisation feature which Topaz does not and I use quite a bit.
is this good way to convert 4.3 to 16.9

Why cant I subscribe? I go to purchase perpetual and it tells me card is declined, which is in no way correct.
I don't work for AVC, I am just a user. I would contact them directly and I am sure they can help.
