We are excited to introduce HitPaw VikPea 5.5.0, the latest update to our AI video enhancement solution. This release focuses on faster processing, a more intuitive preview experience, improved hardware acceleration, and more precise video navigation. It also brings an upgraded AI Colorist model with richer colors, better consistency, and clearer results.
What’s New in VikPea 5.5.0
Faster Ultra HD Video Restoration
The Ultra HD Restoration model has been optimized with an improved model architecture for greater processing efficiency. On supported graphics cards, users can experience up to 20%~35% faster processing, making high-resolution video restoration more efficient, especially for longer or more demanding footage.
Real-Time Before/After Split Preview Slider
VikPea now makes it easier to see exactly how your video has been improved. The new Split-Screen Slider Preview allows you to drag a vertical slider across any frame to view a live, side-by-side comparison between the original video and the AI-enhanced output before rendering.
Dedicated RT Hardware Acceleration for NVIDIA RTX
For users with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, VikPea 5.5.0 adds RTX hardware acceleration to video background removal, Video Beauty, and watermark removal. When enabled, RTX acceleration can reduce processing time and significantly speed up video rendering, helping minimize waiting time during export.
Frame-Level Timeline Control
The video player’s timeline has been redesigned for more precise navigation. Users can now work with frame-level accuracy and zoom the timeline in or out to adjust the viewing scale. This makes it easier to locate specific frames and review enhancement results with greater precision.
Upgraded AI Colorizer Model
VikPea 5.5.0 also introduces an upgraded AI Colorist model for more vivid and consistent colorization. The new model provides higher color saturation, improved color consistency, and more uniform results across different areas of the frame.
Beyond color enhancement, the updated model delivers better overall image clarity and helps reduce common issues such as uneven local colorization and color distortion. From bringing black-and-white footage to life to restoring faded or dull video, the upgraded AI Colorist provides more balanced and natural-looking results.
