As you sit down to examine the footage, you notice that the video quality has dropped significantly. Faced with this problem, is there a simple solution?The answer is a resounding “yes”. We're talking here about programs that speed up online videos, like HitPaw. Through the use of artificial intelligence, the software can recognize images and increase their resolution naturally, without damaging the video.
The best? HitPaw is an easy-to-use program that can help anyone who has never used editing software. To help those who find themselves in this situation, we created a tutorial with just 4 steps, focusing on optimizing videos.
What is HitPaw all about? HitPaw is computer software compatible with MacOS (from Apple computers) and Windows (from Microsoft) operating systems. Its main objective is to improve the quality of low-resolution videos, using tools with the help of artificial intelligence.
In addition to improving online videos, HitPaw also provides functions for colorizing black and white recordings and improving the colors of animations or portraits. The resulting videos can be exported in 720p, 1080p, 4k or 200% or 400% expansion. All this in a simple and, of course, quick way!
Finally, HitPaw also offers noise reduction (which improves the clarity of videos), with specific AI features helping with all types of videos. The program can be tested for free, so users can find out if it gives the results they are looking for.
How to improve video quality with HitPaw? Step 1: Download and Install To improve video quality, the first step is to download Hitpaw directly from its official website. You need to pay attention to the correct version you will download, as the program is available in two versions, suitable for Microsoft or Apple OS.
The download takes no more than a few seconds and the installation itself can be done by following the steps indicated by the program. At the end of the process, your computer will create an icon on the desktop, which allows direct and quick access to HitPaw. The program will open automatically.
Step 2: Select the original video The original video you want to enhance can be on your computer or an external device connected to it. To find it, click the “Choose File” button in the HitPaw home window and browse for the file. If you want, just drag the video into the program.
You can edit multiple videos at the same time. To do this, you will need to click the button next to the phrase “Batch Application”. This option will make it easier to edit multiple files at once. If you need to convert them separately, just select one video at a time.
Step 3: Using Tools Once the video is opened in HitPaw, you can choose which tools to use. In the case of one that increases the resolution, it is possible to process in two ways: standard or fast. As the names suggest, they serve to achieve better or more agile results.
“Dynamic model”, “Portrait model” and “Color” will also be available. The first two references are animation videos and improvement videos with people. The latter, in turn, is the one we mentioned before, capable of colorizing videos that do not have it.
Step 4: Choose the resolution and format Once editing is complete, you must choose the resolution and format in which the video will be exported. In terms of resolution, the options are as mentioned above: 720p, 1080p and 4k. Naturally, each of them brings a different result, in terms of image quality and size.
Format, on the other hand, refers to the extensions of video files. The options here are MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI and MP4. Most modern video players and hosting services are capable of reading all of these formats, so the choice depends solely on your preferences.
And that's it! Once your selections have been made, you must click on the “Export” button, which is located in the bottom right corner of the HitPaw window. The export time will depend on the speed of your computer and mainly on the size of the video that will be enlarged.
