This video provides a complete breakdown of Warlock Studio, the best open-source photo and video upscaling program for Windows. Forget about expensive $60/month Topaz Video AI subscriptions! Now professional video and photo upscaling is available absolutely free on your PC.

We'll cover in detail how the free upscaling program works, what graphics card requirements it has, and how to properly set Input and Output Resolution. You'll learn which neural network models (BSRGAN, Real ESRGAN, GFPGAN) are best for noise removal and face restoration.

A special bonus for video production professionals: an exclusive PNG sequence lifehack for achieving maximum quality when restoring damaged VHS video. We'll also explore a trick with frame interpolation (RIFE) for creating smooth slow motion.
