When Should You Use An AI Video Upscaler?

You might wonder if your video needs upscaling. Here are a few situations where the tool is most useful:

• Your video is low resolution (240p, 360p, or 480p) and looks pixelated on larger screens.

• You recorded a video in poor lighting, which caused it to look blurry.

• You’re repurposing old or vintage footage and want it to look modern.

• You're preparing a clip for a presentation or client, and it needs to appear professional.

• Your phone camera quality wasn't high enough, and you need to sharpen the result.

3-Step Guide: How to Make Blurry Videos Crystal Clear Using CapCut Desktop AI Video Upscaler

CapCut makes video upscaling incredibly simple. Here's how you can use the AI Video Upscaler on your PC to fix blurry clips:

Step 1: Open CapCut Desktop and Import Your Video

Download and install the CapCut Desktop Video Editor if you haven’t already. Launch the app and click on “Create Project.” Drag and drop your blurry video into the media bin, or click “Import” to select it from your computer. Once it’s added, drag the video to the editing timeline. Preview the video to identify areas that appear blurry or pixelated before applying the upscaler.

Step 2: Use the AI Video Upscaler

Select the video clip on your timeline. Click on “Video > Basic” in the side menu and choose "Enhance image". Then, pick the definition you want. CapCut will start improving your video with AI. CapCut offers options like HD or UHD upscale—choose the one that best fits your needs. This process might take a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the length and resolution of your video. For the best results, choose a 4x upscale if you're aiming to convert old SD videos to Full HD or 4K resolution.

Step 3: Preview and Export Your Enhanced Video

After the upscaling finishes, play the video on the timeline to see the improvement. You’ll notice sharper details, clearer faces, and cleaner backgrounds. If you're happy with the result, click “Export” in the top right. Use the MP4 format and a higher bitrate setting if you plan to upload to YouTube or Instagram.

Tips to Get the Best Results from AI Video Upscaler

Here are some expert tips to help you get even better clarity when using the AI upscaling tool:

• Avoid over-enhancing: While 4x upscale sounds great, it may sometimes add unwanted sharpness to already decent videos. Choose the level that best matches your footage.

• Pair with other tools: Use color correction or brightness and contrast adjustment in CapCut to complement the upscaling.

• Use original files: Always try to use the original video file instead of a downloaded or compressed version.

• Don’t upscale already HD videos: If your video is already in 1080p or higher, upscaling might not be necessary and may lead to unnatural sharpness.
