AI Tools
The AI Tools module provides a suite of AI-powered video processing features. All models run locally on your machine — no internet connection required, no files uploaded to any server.
Available tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| AI Upscaling | Upscale video to 2x, 4x (up to 8K) using neural networks |
| Noise Removal | Remove grain, compression artifacts, and low-light noise |
| Smart Scene Detection | Automatically detect cuts and scene boundaries |
| Auto-Captions | Generate subtitles from speech in 30+ languages |
| Background Removal | Remove or replace video backgrounds without a green screen |
| Style Transfer | Apply cinematic looks and styles to footage |
AI Upscaling
- Open AI Tools → Upscaling
- Import your source video
- Choose a scale factor: 2x, 4x
- Select a model: Standard (faster) or Enhanced (higher quality)
- Click Process
Note: 8K output requires the Ultra plan. 4K output requires Basic, Pro, or Ultra.
Noise Removal
- Open AI Tools → Noise Removal
- Import your video
- Adjust the Strength slider (0–100)
- Preview a frame before processing the full video
- Click Process
Works best on footage with consistent noise patterns (low-light, high-ISO, compressed web video).
Smart Scene Detection
- Open AI Tools → Scene Detection
- Import your video
- Adjust the Sensitivity threshold
- Click Detect
- Review detected cuts in the scene list
- Export as a chapter list, EDL, or send directly to the Timeline Editor
Auto-Captions
- Open AI Tools → Captions
- Import your video
- Select the spoken language
- Click Generate
- Review and edit captions in the built-in editor
- Export as SRT, VTT, or burn into the video
Supported languages include English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and 20+ more.
Background Removal
- Open AI Tools → Background Removal
- Import your video
- Choose output: Transparent (exports as ProRes 4444 or WebM with alpha) or Replace (choose a color or image)
- Click Process
Works best with clear subject-background contrast. For complex scenes, use the Refine Edges tool to clean up the mask.
Style Transfer
- Open AI Tools → Style Transfer
- Import your video
- Choose a style preset (Cinematic, Anime, Oil Painting, etc.) or upload a reference image
- Adjust Strength (0–100)
- Click Process
Hardware requirements
AI processing is GPU-accelerated. Recommended:
- NVIDIA: RTX 2060 or newer (CUDA)
- AMD: RX 6600 or newer (ROCm on Linux, DirectML on Windows)
- Apple Silicon: M1 or newer (Metal Performance Shaders)
CPU fallback is available but significantly slower.
