About REAL-Video-Enhancer

REAL Video Enhancer is a desktop app for boosting frame rate and resolution. It puts frame interpolation, upscaling, denoising and decompression models behind one window. Expect to need a decent GPU: TensorRT wants an NVIDIA RTX card with enough VRAM. Two warnings: the Windows build can be falsely flagged as a trojan, and ROCm support is buggy.

Best for: Editors who need a local app to smooth, upscale or clean up video files without writing a script pipeline.

What it does

  • Raises frame rate, for example 24 to 48 FPS, with RIFE, GMFSS and IFRNet
  • Upscales video, for example 1920 to 3840, with SPAN, OpenProteus and AnimeSR
  • Cleans up files with DeH264 decompression and DRUnet or DnCNN denoising
  • Detects scene changes so sharp cuts stay sharp
  • Shows a live preview of the last rendered frame
  • Runs on TensorRT, PyTorch (CUDA 12.6 or ROCm 6.2) or NCNN Vulkan
