Enhancing the quality of your footage after the fact is no longer out of reach thanks to upscaling tools, offering users even more leeway to manipulate their videos in the post-processing stage.

Nero AI Video Upscaler takes a decidedly simple approach, enabling users to benefit from the boons of AI by requiring minimal intervention on their part, while still achieving satisfactory results.

The interface design isn't particularly anything new, but it does the job insofar as it guides you along to improving the clarity of your video content. Drop your clip in, then decide on the AI model to use, of which there are three: Fast, Animation, and Realistic.

Fast should be the quickest, but still net some worthwhile results. Animation is best used with animated or drawn content and can be considered a sort of middle ground, while Realistic should employ more aggressive clarity enhancement and sharpness boosting algorithms.

Note that you can also trim your video accordingly before feeding it to the AI upscaler, so as to only process the relevant parts.

The upscaling resolution is also of importance, as the program can go up to 8K. Of course, higher resolutions also mean more processing time and bigger file sizes, so make sure to choose something appropriate for your use case.
