When you sit down to look at the photos, you'll notice that the video quality leaves a lot to be desired. Faced with this problem, is there a simple solution?The answer is a resounding “yes”. We're talking here about programs that enhance online videos, like HitPaw. Using artificial intelligence, the software can identify images and increase their resolution naturally, without destroying the video.
Best of all? HitPaw is a simple to use program that can help even those who have never used editing software before. To help anyone in this situation, we created a tutorial with just 4 steps, focused on improving videos.
What is HitPaw 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 supported by artificial intelligence.
In addition to enhancing online videos, HitPaw also provides functions for colorizing black and white recordings and enhancing the colors of animations or photographs. Video results can be exported in 720p, 1080p, 4k or via 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 that help with each type of video. The program can be tested for free, allowing users to see if it can deliver 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 download, as the program comes in two modes, which are suitable for Microsoft or Apple OS.
The download takes no more than a few seconds and the installation can be done by following the steps indicated by the program itself. At the end of the process, your computer will create an icon on the desktop, giving direct and quick access to HitPaw. The program will open automatically.
Step 2: Select the original video The original video you want to enhance must be on your computer or another device connected to it. To find it, click the “choose file” button in the HitPaw home window and browse for the file. If you wish, you can drag the video into the program.
It is also possible to edit multiple videos at once. To do this, you need to click on the button next to the phrase “batch application”. This option makes it easy to edit multiple files in the same way. If you need to edit them separately, just select one video at a time.
Step 3: Using tools Once the video opens in HitPaw, you can choose which tools to use. If the resolution is improved, it is possible to carry out the process in two ways: quality or speed. As the name suggests, they serve to produce better or faster results.
There is also “animated model”, “portrait model” and “coloring”. The first two refer to the development of animation videos and videos with people, respectively. The last one, is what we mentioned earlier, which can color videos that you don't have.
Step 4: Choose Resolution and Format Once the editing process is complete, you need to choose the resolution and format to export the video. In terms of resolution, the options are as mentioned above: 720p, 1080p and 4k. Of course, each of these types has different results, both in 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 can read all of these formats, so your choice depends on your personal preference.
And that's it! Once you have made your selection, you will need to click on the “export” button located in the bottom right corner of the HitPaw window. Export time depends on the speed of your computer and mainly on the size of the video being enhanced.
