This tutorial covers Video2X Qt6, an open source video upscaler that processes footage on your own GPU. The speaker installs the Windows version, notes that a Linux installer is available, and demonstrates local AI processing with a 720p clip made in Google Flow.
The setup walkthrough covers downloading the installer, launching the application, and dragging a video into its interface. The speaker describes support for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel graphics and reviews CPU and GPU requirements. The speaker notes that processing time depends on hardware.
The demonstration explains GPU selection and the upscale multiplier, then compares unnamed processing options. The speaker recommends the third option for AI-generated footage and slower hardware, and the first for older camera or VHS footage, while warning that it takes longer. The presenter refers to these processing options by position rather than reading out their model names.
For export, the speaker selects MP4 for use in Premiere Pro and mentions adding multiple videos before starting processing. The example takes about 10 minutes, and the output file grows from 3 MB to 10 MB. The speaker compares the input and processed clips and reports improved visual quality.
