Why Use CapCut’s AI Video Upscaler?
Before jumping into the how-to, let’s understand the “why”. Low resolutions appear pixelized, uninformative, and cannot capture the attention of the viewer, particularly in current high definition displays. It is not only upscaling your video, but AI is scanning them, and wisely increases the clarity and details to make your content platform appropriate, like TV, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
This not only makes AI features in CapCut useful but also necessary for creators seeking to enhance the production value of the existing library of videos.
Step-by-Step: How to Use CapCut’s AI Video Upscaler
Let’s explore how to rescue low-quality footage using CapCut’s built-in Enhance image feature:
Step 1: Import Your Low-Resolution Clip
Open CapCut Desktop and press “New project”. Use the drag and drop option to drag and drop your old or blurred video into the media library and also into the timeline. It will become your working clip.
Step 2: Select the Clip on the Timeline
Click on your clip in the timeline to activate the editing panel. On the right-hand side, a range of options will appear—this is where the enhancement process begins.
Step 3: Apply Enhanced Image for Upscaling
Having the clip at the ready, find the button called “Enhance quality” on the right-side toolbar. Clicking it, CapCut will automatically calculate and proceed with AI-enhanced filters, including sharpening and denoising.
No single button is labeled as AI Upscaler, though the latter works as part of “Enhance quality”, particularly in case your clip is of low quality. This creates a more detailed, crisper result, which is ideal for providing your footage with a polishing HD effect.
Here, you can add anything, including an AI-made overlay or voiceover with the CapCuts AI video upscaler and other AI tools.
Step 4: Apply Additional Edits
Your clip is already enhanced; now you may enhance it additionally with some filters, transitions, or adjustments. In case you would like to adjust the brightness, contrast, or color temperature, go to the panel of “Effects” or “Adjustment”. These adjustments may be able to supplement AI improvement by making the displayed output visually more unified.
Step 5: Export to High Quality
Then you can click on the “Export” button on the upper right side when you are done. Then select a higher resolution (1080p or 4K) and choose MP4 format, which is the output dependent on your requirements. AI processing will help CapCut improve quality.
