FAQ – Saving Time When the Processing Takes Too Long

1. Which AI model should I choose for faster processing?

Use the Fast model whenever possible—it’s explicitly designed for quicker upscaling, offering a good compromise between speed and quality.

2. How can I avoid upscaling more than necessary?

  • Use Clip Selection to upscale only specific portions of a video instead of the entire file. This greatly reduces processing time.
  • Always run a Preview on a short segment (1–3 seconds) to fine-tune settings before processing the full video.

3. Can I queue multiple videos to process them efficiently?

Yes—use Batch Processing to queue several videos. You can let the software run in the background, or even overnight, to save active work time.

4. How can I improve hardware utilization to speed things up?

  • Ensure your system meets or exceeds the recommended hardware specs, especially a modern GPU with sufficient VRAM (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6700 XT with 12 GB VRAM for 4K–8K upscaling).
  • Close all unnecessary apps to free up memory and reduce system load. Pro-tip: Restart your PC before launching a large upscaling job.
  • Confirm your GPU drivers and DirectX 11 (or higher) support are up to date to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Enable hardware (GPU) acceleration if supported—users note significant speed increases with compatible NVIDIA/AMD cards.

5. How should I structure my workflow for the fastest turnaround?

  1. Import your video.
  2. Use Clip Selection to isolate the relevant section.
  3. Pick the Fast AI model.
  4. Set desired output resolution.
  5. Run a Preview to confirm your choices.
  6. Add to Batch Queue and process when idle.

How to adjust the video in Nero AI Video Upscaler?

In today’s video enhancement landscape, fine-tuning your video’s look is just as important as upscaling its resolution. With the latest update to Nero AI Video Upscaler, you can now adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and white balance directly within the app—all from a dedicated Adjustments tab. This guide will walk you through how to get the most out of these new features.

Video adjustments

1. Getting Started

Launch the App:
Open Nero AI Video Upscaler on your PC. If you haven’t already, download and install the latest version from the official Nero website.

Import Your Video:
Drag and drop your video file into the app. Once imported, you’ll see a preview window with the original footage.

2. Navigating to the Adjustments Tab

Find the New Tab:
After importing your video, look for the new “Adjustments” tab in the main interface. This tab is designed to provide easy access to all the adjustment sliders.

User Interface Overview:
The interface now displays a series of sliders labeled as follows:

  • Brightness
  • Contrast
  • Saturation
  • Sharpness
  • White Balance

Parameters

A real-time preview window sits alongside these controls, allowing you to see the effects of your adjustments immediately.

3. Adjusting Video Parameters

Brightness

  • Purpose: Increase or decrease the overall lightness of your video.
  • Tip: If your video appears too dark or overexposed, gently adjust the slider until you achieve a balanced look.

Contrast

  • Purpose: Enhance the difference between light and dark areas.
  • Tip: Increasing contrast can add depth, but too much can cause loss of detail in the shadows or highlights.

Saturation

  • Purpose: Boost or tone down the intensity of the colors.
  • Tip: Adjust saturation to make colors pop or to create a more subdued, natural look.

Sharpness

  • Purpose: Improve clarity by enhancing edge definition.
  • Tip: Increase sharpness if your video appears slightly blurry, but avoid over-sharpening to prevent an artificial look.

White Balance

  • Purpose: Correct color temperature and remove unwanted color casts.
  • Tip: Use this slider to ensure whites appear neutral, which in turn balances the overall color accuracy of your footage.

4. Previewing and Finalizing Your Adjustments

Real-Time Preview:
As you adjust each slider, monitor the preview window. This helps you decide whether to make further tweaks or stick with the current settings.

Export Your Video:
Proceed to upscale your video (if needed) and then export the final version in your preferred format and resolution.

Tips for Best Results

  • Start Small: Make incremental adjustments rather than large leaps. Small changes can significantly impact the overall quality.
  • Monitor on Different Screens: If possible, view your preview on multiple displays to ensure consistent quality.
