YouTube Introduces AI Super Resolution to Enhance Video Quality
YouTube is getting a new magic trick called 'Super Resolution'!
It uses a smart computer brain (AI) to make your videos look much better.
If a video is not super clear, the AI will automatically make it sharper, almost like turning an old movie into a new HD movie.
Eventually, it can even make videos look as good as 4K quality!
Creators can choose if they want this feature on or off for their videos.
Viewers can also pick the 'Super Resolution' version from the video settings if they want the best quality.
YouTube is also making other cool updates, like letting creators use bigger, better pictures for their videos.
YouTube is launching 'Super Resolution,' an AI-powered feature to automatically improve video quality.
The feature will enhance videos from resolutions below 1080p to higher definitions, with a goal of up to 4K.
Creators will have control to opt-out of the AI upscaling feature for their content.
Viewers can select the 'Super Resolution' enhanced version through video settings.
YouTube is also increasing the thumbnail size limit for creators and introducing new shopping tools.
