AI Editing Software

[Warren Faidley]

The moderators might consider starting a new forum just for AI applications in chasing?

Has anyone found a decent AI software program that can handle 4k footage? I have yet to see any AI applications online that can handle 4k files, e.g., repairing exposure, blurring faces, removing defects/objects, etc. Many of these sites also rip you off by setting stupid limits on the amount of processing time you can use.

I do not believe this can be done online because of file sizes. The other issue is processing power. Most computers that are older than 7 years are not up to the task.

AI is becoming a substantial threat to water supplies as well, which is probably why they are not offering it to the public for free use, along with the massive data storage requirements on their end.

As Use of A.I. Soars, So Does the Energy and Water It Requires

Generative artificial intelligence uses massive amounts of energy for computation and data storage and millions of gallons of water to cool the equipment at data centers. Now, legislators and regulators — in the U.S. and the EU — are starting to demand accountability.

And these costs are being passed onto the consumer.

Consumers Are Footing the Bill for AI’s Insatiable Appetite for Energy

The escalating energy demands of data centers, driven by artificial intelligence, are leading to an increase in fossil fuel power plant development and higher energy costs for consumers across the United States.

AI (Algorithmic Illusion of Intelligence as I call it) is useful in some scenarios- mostly I hate it.

Topaz Video AI can do some of what you mention.

A full linear video editor with powerful frame processing is probably what you need though, and has a learning curve. I use Davinci Resolve with Fusion plugins for all things editing; the free version is quite powerful, and studio purchase is affordable and licensed non subscription. Some people like Adobe Premier. These programs have been doing complex edits with exposure and color correction, frame interpolation, object and noise removal, compositing, etc. for decades. They incorporate AI for things like improved denoise, but it is not automatically going to do all the work for you, nor would many want it to. You can do tons of things in a real video editor with a 3D effect add on, but it requires a lot of learning. All the online AI quick fix stuff may give you a free and instant result but will also keep your data, and you are paying some soulles company for their alleged IP that they built by stealing everything from the world to make that AI as "smart" as it seems to be.
