AI Sharpen

The AI Sharpen effect analyzes edges of objects in your video and enhances them to give the image a sharper and clearer look. This effect can be used to improve the clarity of your video or as a special effect to give your video an unnaturally sharp look.

EXAMPLE

  • Improves the clarity of slightly blurred footage.

  • Improve the definition of edges in low-resolution videos.

  • Use as a special effect for an unnaturally sharp appearance.

Settings

Details This setting influences how finely the sharpening is applied to the video. A higher level of detail results in finer and more precise sharpening, making small details in the video stand out more. A lower level of detail results in less intensive sharpening, which reduces the risk of excessive noise or artifacts.
Amount The "Intensity" slider controls the intensity of the sharpening effect. Higher intensity enhances the edges and details in the video more clearly, making the image appear sharper and clearer. Lower intensity provides softer sharpening that offers more subtle enhancements without overemphasizing or making the video look unnatural.
