As you sit back and watch the footage, you realize that the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. Faced with this problem, is there a simple solution?The answer is a resounding “no”. We're talking about software that optimizes video on the web, like HitPaw. With artificial intelligence, the software can recognize patterns and automatically increase the resolution, without damaging the video.
Is this the best? HitPaw is an easy-to-use program that can be useful even for those who have never used editing software before. To address this gap, we developed a simple 4-step tutorial focusing on video optimization.
What is HitPaw? HitPaw is desktop software compatible with macOS (from Apple computers) and Windows (from Microsoft). Its main objective is to optimize low-resolution videos using tools powered by artificial intelligence.
In addition to enhancing live video, HitPaw also offers features to convert black and white recordings to color and convert animations or photos to color. The resulting videos can be produced in 720p, 1080p, 4k or at 200% or 400% resolution. All this easily and, of course, quickly!
Finally, HitPaw also offers noise reduction (which makes videos clearer), with AI features specific to each type of video. The program can be tried for free, so users can be sure it provides the results they are looking for.
How to optimize video with HitPaw? Step 1: Download and Installation To maximize video quality, the first step is to download HitPaw directly from its website. You should pay attention to the best downloaded versions, as the program is available in two versions, compatible with Microsoft or Apple OS.
The download takes less than a few seconds and can be installed following the program's instructions. Upon activation, your computer will create an icon on your desktop, giving you direct and immediate access to HitPaw. The program opens automatically.
Step 2: Select the original video The original video you want to enhance must be on your computer or an external device connected to it. To find it, click “select file” in the HitPaw home window and find the file. If you want, just play the video in the program.
Multiple videos can also be edited at once. To do this, you need to click on the button next to the word “apply batch”. This option makes it easy to edit multiple files in the same way. If you want to edit them separately, just select each video.
Step 3: Use tools Once the video is uploaded to HitPaw, you can select the tools you want to use. In those that increase the resolution, processing can be done in two ways: better or faster. As the name suggests, they work to get better and better results.
“Animation model”, “portrait model” and “coloring” will also be available. The first two cover the creation of animated videos and animated videos, respectively. And the last one is what we mentioned earlier, which can add color to videos that don't have it.
Step 4: choose the resolution and format After finishing editing, you need to choose the resolution and format in which the video will be exported. Resolution includes the aforementioned 720p, 1080p, and 4k options. Naturally, each of these types brings a different result, both in image quality and size.
On the other hand, format refers to the file extensions of the video. Supports MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI and MP4. Most modern cameras and video hosts have the ability to read all of these formats, so the choice depends on preference.
And that's it! After selecting the items, you need to click on the “export” button, which is located at the bottom of the HitPaw window. Transfer time will depend on the speed of your computer and the specific size of the video being compressed.
