Adobe has introduced a groundbreaking new upscaling technology that uses Artificial Intelligence to enhance video quality like never before. This innovative feature, known as VideoGigaGAN, has the ability to upscale videos by eight times while minimizing the typical artifacts and distortions associated with traditional methods.
Unlike other Video Super Resolution (VSR) techniques, VideoGigaGAN sets itself apart by maintaining sharpness and detail without introducing unwanted artifacts or flickering. By leveraging advanced AI capabilities, the system can add realistic textures and details to enhance the overall visual quality of the video.
Adobe’s researchers have built upon a powerful image upsampler called GigaGAN to develop this cutting-edge technology. By incorporating elements like temporal attention, feature propagation, anti-aliasing, and HF shuttle, VideoGigaGAN is able to produce impressive results that exhibit rich details and enhanced clarity.
While VideoGigaGAN holds great promise for improving the quality of low-resolution footage, there are ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI to enhance individuals in videos. Despite this, many companies, including NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Blackmagic Design, are also exploring similar upscaling solutions.
The potential integration of VideoGigaGAN into popular Adobe products like Premiere Pro or After Effects could empower video producers to elevate the quality of their content significantly. Whether Adobe chooses to incorporate this technology remains to be seen, but the advancements in AI-driven video enhancement are undoubtedly reshaping the landscape of visual storytelling.
