Click the icons above your Video List to add, remove, or completely clear video queue.
A.I. Processing Models

Output Video Settings
Next you’ll adjust your output settings to help get the results you want.
Presets
We offer standard video presets, or you can choose your own custom settings.
Preset output options include:
200% 400% SD(640x480) SD(768x576) HD(1280x720) HD(1920x1080) 4KUHD(3840x2160) 8KUHD(7680x4320)When you’re working with a non-standard size video, converting to a standard preset may cause black bars to appear. If you would rather fill the frame, check the box “Crop to fill frame”.
Naming your Output Video
By default, your current video name will be appended with the scale, width, and height of your output. For example, a video with this name:
Video.mp4
…will be named:
Video_5.33x_1920x1080.mp4
To change this, uncheck the box “Use default output name” and a dialog window will pop up. Type the name of your video, select the file type, and choose the location and click “Save”.
Previewing Your Output Video
Ready to see how your video will look with your settings? You can preview a short clip of 30 rendered frames to review your output footage.
Select and drag the slider on your video’s timeline and position it where you would like your preview to render. Click the video preview icon at the top right corner to render the clip.
Allow a moment for your clip to process. A split-screen will load with side-by-side displays playing your original clip and the upscaled preview on a loop.
Trimming Your Output Video
When you’re satisfied with your output, the last step is to trim your footage. Rendering only what you need for your output will save you processing time. Here’s how it’s done.
Drag the slider along your timeline to select the starting position of your video, and click the left scissor icon to trim off the beginning of your video.
Next, drag the slider again to the end position of your video, and click the right scissor icon to trim off the end of your video. You’ll notice that the highlighted portion of your timeline is shorter now. This is the selection you will be outputting.
Now you’re ready to render!
Processing Your Video
To render your video, click the last icon above your Video List. The application will display your footage as it renders frame-by-frame until it’s complete.
It’s that easy!
Working With Batch Processing
Want to render many videos at once? No problem! You can load multiple videos into your Video List. Click each video individually to set unique settings for each one, or power through an entire batch using the same settings.
How to Set Defaults for an Entire Batch
To process an entire batch of videos using the exact same output settings, start by loading only your first video into your Video List.
Make your processing adjustments, and then from the top drop-down menus select:
Process > Setting as Default
This setting will create identical outputs for all videos that you load into the queue in this session.
Add your remaining videos into the Video List, and click the button to process the whole batch.. Your videos will render with identical outputs.
