How to Convert VHS to 4k Using AI Video Enhancer in Uniconverter

Howto & Style


Introduction

VHS, which stands for Video Home System, revolutionized home entertainment by allowing viewers to watch movies at their convenience without adhering to theater schedules or TV program timings. The technology not only facilitated movie distribution but also enabled the average consumer to record home videos cheaply and conveniently. However, the quality of VHS videos is relatively low, and over time, cassette tapes can deteriorate. To preserve these memories, it's essential to digitize and enhance them.

In this article, we will explore how to enhance VHS videos to 4K using the AI Video Enhancer tool in UniConverter. If you have VHS footage, you may need some additional hardware for digitization; however, once you have your videos digitized, follow these steps to improve their quality.

Getting Started with AI Video Enhancer

  1. Acquire the Tool: Download the AI Video Enhancer from the Wondershare website video.wondershare.com and install it.
  2. Open the Tool: Launch UniConverter and navigate to the AI lab to find the AI Video Enhancer.
  3. Upload Your Video Clip: Import your VHS clip into the software. This tutorial will use VHS clips sourced from YouTube, but feel free to experiment with your own clips.

Enhancement Process

The AI Video Enhancer offers four primary functions to improve VHS video quality:

  1. Video Enhancement:

    • The video enhancer allows you to sharpen your video.
    • Select an output folder (you can choose to keep it as the source).
    • Click on export and monitor the progress in the window. Once completed, import your newly exported video using the replace files option.
  2. Upscaling:

    • Next, select the upscaling feature and choose a ratio (2x or 4x).
    • Click on export and wait for the process to finalize.
  3. Frame Interpolation:

    • The final step is interpolating frames. This function enhances the footage's smoothness by increasing the frame rate.
    • Again, select a ratio (2x or 4x) and click on export. Wait for this final process to complete.

Review your Results

Once all enhancements have been applied, compare the original video with the enhanced version. You will notice a significant improvement in quality.
