In recent years, everyone has been talking about artificial intelligence (AI). Many global companies have already begun to use it to automate some work processes. With such hype around AI, many employees are worried about whether it can replace them in the workplace. We believe that, in the near future, it will not happen. And then, who knows what the world of technology will bring us.

Bride&Groom.video also keeps up with the times. So, we decided to see how AI can be useful in wedding video editing. We have selected several AI tools for testing, and today we will share our experience with you.

Benefits of AI tools in video editing

There is no doubt that the use of AI tools can bring many benefits to any business. What can such solutions do for wedding video editing?

  1. AI can help organize large footage much faster than doing it manually.
  2. AI can help improve the quality of footage by making the sound clearer and increasing the video resolution.
  3. AI can help speed up the editing process.
  4. AI can add various effects to videos and make them more attractive.

These are the benefits that we have already received in the process of working with AI tools. Now, let’s take a closer look at two of them.

Increasing video resolution with AI

Improving the quality of the video is something that we have been dreaming of for many years, and now it has become possible. There are various tools for this, but we have chosen Topaz Video AI. This is a brand-new AI video scaling solution.

This is a program that uses machine learning algorithms in its work. The artificial intelligence technology used here is so advanced that it does not need manual manipulation and edits every shot with maximum precision, which ensures a natural and smooth picture.

Topaz Video AI has been trained on thousands of videos and combines information from multiple input video shots. It can upscale almost any video up to 8K resolution with precise details and motion sequences.

With Topaz Video AI it is very easy

  • Turn your 360p, 480p, and 720p videos into clear footage with up to 8K resolution.
  • Transfer footage from SD to HD with an impressive increase in quality.
  • Restore old and noisy videos.
  • Upscale computer graphics or cartoons.
  • Reduce camera shake, increase video evenness, and smooth slow motion.

What’s more, this tool is easy to use. With just a few clicks, the video will start rendering to create beautiful, high-resolution footage. This is very convenient for working with the shots that have lost their quality during shooting but are necessary for the film.

AI plugins for working with sound

Another AI feature that we started to actively use in our workflow is for the improvement of sound.

Among different tools, we decided to try Waves Clarity Vx Pro plugin. This plugin can truly be called revolutionary as it can perform advanced noise reduction in real time. In just one pass, it can take several steps in reducing noise and, as a result, produce a clear voice and dialogues of the highest quality.

Another plus is that this plugin allows us to listen to the result without the need to render, bounce, duplicate, or merge tracks.

Why have we chosen Waves Clarity Vx Pro? The modern market already offers many plugins that can remove noise. However, all of them affect the voice. Only Clarity Vx Pro does not do that.

What can this plugin do?

  • It removes unwanted background noise.
  • It makes voices/dialogue clearer.
  • It can keep ambience and remove voices.
  • It can restore voices.

All video editors know that quite often the wind, the street sounds, or the voices of the surrounding people are a big hindrance. But thanks to Clarity Vx Pro, this is no longer a problem for us. It helps give us the best results in the shortest time.

Conclusion

Technology is developing quite rapidly, and we always try to get the maximum benefit from our work with it. Now it’s time to start actively using AI tools and plugins. Our practice shows that this is what can greatly simplify the whole wedding video editing process already, and lots of things we used to do manually in 2023 we can now do with AI’s help. We are very excited to see what else we will be able to do with AI in a few years.
