This tutorial covers video enhancement in HitPaw VikPea, which the speaker calls HitPaw Video Repair in the introduction. The workflow starts with an edit without color correction, using the sharpen model and 2x upscaling before returning the result to After Effects. The speaker leaves FPS on auto, chooses MP4 and compares the original with the processed preview before exporting.

A second example applies the video quality repair model to an edit with color correction. The speaker describes reduced grain and recommends testing models against the footage. Other options discussed include animation enhancement, fast and HQ sharpening, noise reduction and black-and-white colorization. Initial use may require model downloads. The speaker also says 4x upscaling works only with certain formats, without specifying which ones.

The AI toolbox section demonstrates frame interpolation on a 15 FPS edit with a target of 60 FPS. The speaker judges the preview smoother and suggests the feature for choppy anime clips. The final demonstration removes a video's background with transparency selected. Its source is a phone screen recording, so it does not establish the speaker's claimed quality for a hypothetical 4K source. The footage tests do not establish that every feature processes locally or works offline.
