Aiarty AI Video Enhancer vs Reality: Real-World Testing

Can AI really rescue poor-quality footage, or is it just another overhyped promise?

In this video, I put Aiarty AI Video Enhancer through a series of real-world tests to see what it can actually do. We’ll look at video upscaling, noise reduction, detail recovery, sharpening, old footage restoration, and overall image quality using before-and-after comparisons.

Rather than relying on marketing claims, you’ll see the results for yourself and find out where Aiarty performs well, where it struggles, and whether it’s worth your money.

If you’re considering AI video enhancement software for YouTube, travel videos, old footage restoration, or improving low-quality clips, this review should help you decide.

AI video enhancement software is
everywhere right now, and most of it
promises exactly the same thing: sharper
footage, cleaner video, better detail,
restored quality, cinematic results. But
once you start actually testing these
tools on real footage, rather than
carefully selected marketing clips, the
results can vary quite a bit.
In this video, I'm going to be taking a
look at AI Test's Video Enhancer to see
what it does actually well, where it
struggles, and whether it's generally
useful for real-world video work.
Firstly, a disclaimer. They did actually
reach out to me to ask me to test this
tool in exchange for an honest feedback
review.
This software is a standalone app
available on both Windows and Mac OS.
The software includes a number of
AI-based enhancement tools. There are
options for increasing detail,
sharpening footage, improving low-light
scenes, denoising audio, and also some
color and editing-related tools built
right into the interface.
The way this software works is fairly
straightforward. You just import your
footage, choose one of the AI
enhancement models,
adjust a few settings depending on the
effect that you want, and then the
software does its magic and processes
the video frame by frame using AI
analysis to rebuild and enhance the
detail.
I find that the processing itself can
take quite a bit of time depending on
the resolution and the length of the
footage, uh and also depending on the AI
tool.
The interface is relatively simple, but
it did take me a little while to
understand how to make the changes to
the effects I already applied.
First, you need to make sure there's a
tick next to the effect to actually
select it, then you change in some
parameters, and then you click apply.
You'll then see the effect on the clip
on the left. If you want to make a
change to a parameter, you need first to
press the modify button, change the
parameter, and then click apply again.
I find that slightly irksome to keep
remembering to press the modify button
first rather than just uh change the
parameter. So, I hope that gets fixed in
perhaps another future update.
Now, one thing that you'll quickly get
used to it is the fact that you have
this uh vertical before and after line
um in the top with the preview on the
right and the original clip to compare
it with on the left-hand side. Now,
before you get too excited and think you
can play both videos at the same time,
due to the processing required, if you
change to place in the video, you need
to wait for it to actually do the
inference, which can take quite a lot of
time.
So, the trick is just to zoom in and
check a few frames, and then make
basically an educated guess to see if it
looks good before you actually process
the rest of the video.
Now, after testing it on multiple clips,
I think there's one feature here that
clearly stands out above all the others,
and that's the more details AI model,
which is the one that's default selected
right at the top.
This is really the core reason to use
the software, in my opinion.
In my test, it actually performs
surprisingly well in certain situations.
Dark footage, in particular, gains
noticeably more visible detail without
looking excessively artificial, and text
within the footage uh became
significantly sharper and easier to
read.
On some clips, especially slightly soft
and compressed footage, the the
improvements I found was generally
useful rather than aggressively
over-sharpened.
And that's an important distinction
because a lot of AI sharpening tools
simply just increase contrast around
edges, and then just creates halos
everywhere. But here, the more details
AI model often looked more controlled
than that. Now, I know I wasn't
expecting this, but it's just really to
my untrained eye.
This AI tool not only adds more detail,
but can actually upscale clips to a
higher resolution.
So, this is particularly useful if you
have a video clip you recorded at a
lower resolution than the rest of your
footage, and it would look a little bit
out of place. So, you can upscale the
video two or four times, for example, to
maybe 1080p to 4K resolution.
But, obviously, don't expect miracles.
And
an upscaled 1080p footage to 4K is not
going to look
not look as good as a genuine 4K
recorded image. But, it's certainly
going to be better than a lower
resolution clip.
There are still limits, especially if
the original video is extremely poor
quality. But, for moderate enhancement
work, especially recovering detail in
darker scenes and improving softer
footage, I thought it did, you know, a
res- respectable job.
The next tool I had to look at was the
audio denoise feature. The feature
for this had a mixed bag of results for
me. Its purpose is to reduce background
noise in audio. Now, there are plenty of
tools out in the world that can do this
already. So, this had to do something
rather special to warrant its its
existence.
I, of course, tried it with a couple of
test clips. Now, the first one I had had
an issue where there's an electrical
hum, which could be quite common. I'm
not sure how I managed to do that, but
somehow I managed to get the electrical
hum there. But, it's a good test clip.
Now, here's a few seconds of that clip.
>> Hi friends. Ever thought how do they get
that light so perfect?
>> [music]
>> Well, you're just about to find out. So,
great photography isn't just about the
camera or the lens. It's also about how
to control the light.
Hi friends. Ever thought how do they get
that light so perfect? Well, you're just
about to find out. So, great photography
isn't just about the camera or the lens.
It's also about how to control the
light.
>> It did reduce background noise
reasonably well. So, technically, the
denoising itself does work. But, the
tradeoff was that the voice started to
sound a little bit metallic
um,
I thought. And this the kind of
artificial texture is something you
often hear with aggressive AI audio
cleanup. Once you notice it, it becomes
difficult to ignore. So, while this
feature may still be useful in some
situations, I personally wouldn't rely
on it for important dialogue or
professional-sounding
voice recordings. And I did find other
tools like DaVinci Resolve did give a
cleaner job and gave a better result.
Now, the next tools are the color and
editing-related features. Now, these
were the least interesting features for
me. I didn't see much value there
compared to what you can already do
inside proper editing software like
DaVinci Resolve or any other dedicated
video editor. So, I didn't really bother
spending too much time with them.
We then have the frame interpolation
tool, which, as the name suggests,
interpolates extra frames in between the
main frames. So, for example, if you
film at 30 frames per seconds,
it will make a 60-frame video clip or
even 120 frames for slow-motion video
clip.
So, this could be useful if you wanted
to make a slow-motion clip, perhaps of
an action shot, or maybe a wedding clip,
making it more slow-motion.
I took a couple of test shots, a wedding
clip filmed at 30 frames per seconds,
and also an action shot, so you can see
the results here.
The next tool is HDR. Now, the idea of
this is to take any clip which has
particularly strong contrast, like very
dark areas and then very bright areas,
and improve the detail to give the clip
a more high dynamic range feel.
Now, to see the results, you're going to
need an HDR monitor. So, herein lies the
issue with the tool. Most people don't
have HDR monitors currently.
So, neither content creators like myself
or audience. Therefore, this tool has
little value if you're not going to be
able to see the benefits.
Now, it would maybe more useful when HDR
monitors become more common, maybe in a
few years time.
It would also be more useful the other
way around, I think, to convert HDR
footage, especially if you accidentally
recorded HDR footage and convert it to
normal color. It's quite a pretty tricky
process to do it manually, and I would
well welcome this feature if it did it
in the software.
So, overall, I think the video enhancer
is at its best when you focus
specifically on the more detailed AI
functionality. This is where the
software feels generally useful, and
where I saw the most convincing
improvements during testing.
If your goal is recovering extra detail
from soft footage, improving readability
of text, or giving darker clips a bit
more clarity, then it can actually
produce some fairly impressive results.
But, I personally wouldn't probably buy
it for corporate color tools or the
audio denoise alone.
Hope this video is useful, guys, and of
course, don't forget to give it a thumbs
up. I've got a link in the description,
and take care. I'll see you soon.
