AI Smoothen

*new since VEGAS Pro 22*

You can use this AI-driven tool to soften small details in your video while preserving sharp edges. This can result in a cleaner, more stylized look where fine details are smoothed out, but edges remain clear.You can use a small amount to give your video a subtly softer appearance or a large amount to create more of a special effect on your video.

USE CASES

  • Softening harsh edges in portrait videos for a smoother look.

  • Creating a dreamy or ethereal effect in artistic video projects.

  • Reducing the clarity of background elements to emphasize the foreground.
