Featured Function Operation

• video frame interpolation: Check the "Enable frame interpolation" option when processing video, the program will automatically insert frames to improve the smoothness of the video.
• Multi-threaded settings: In the "Settings" menu, you can adjust the number of threads to optimize the processing speed according to your computer's configuration.
• Intelligent Settings: The program automatically adjusts some of the settings based on hardware information, or the user can manually modify them to meet specific needs.
• Multi-GPU SupportIn the Settings menu, you can choose to enable multi-GPU support to fully utilize your computing resources.

common problems

• Slow processing speed: Try reducing the magnification or noise reduction level, or upgrading the hardware configuration.
• Poor output quality: Choose a higher quality algorithm (e.g. Real-ESRGAN) and tune the relevant parameters.
• program crash: Make sure you use the latest version and check for hardware compatibility.
