Step-by-Step: How to Enhance Video Quality in CapCut Desktop
Follow these accurate, easy steps to upscale and enhance your video using CapCut’s AI features:
Step 1: Create a New Project
Open CapCut Desktop and press the button with the text of a “New project” on the main screen. This opens the editor where you can begin bringing in and refining your video.
Step 2: Import and Add Footage to Timeline
At the top-left corner of the screen, and on the top tab, there is the “+ Import” button where you can upload your shaky or even low-quality video from your computer. After importing, drag and drop the video in the timeline below to start editing it.
Step 3: Enhance Quality with AI Video Upscaler
Press the video on the timeline. Next, in the toolbar just above the large preview window, click “Enhance quality”. A display will come up with improvements such as SD to “HD” or “UHD”. Select your desired level of enhancement and press Apply. The AI will improve your video by processing it and upscaling it to make it clearer and sharper.
Step 4: Preview and Fine-Tune
After applying the enhancement, take a preview of your video through the play icon in the viewer to ensure that it satisfies your expectations. You may need to make this in combination with other adjustments, such as the trim, changes in speed, or introduction of effects.
Step 5: Export the Final Video
Go to the top-right corner and click “Export”. Under the export window:
Select resolution (e.g., 1080p or 4K),
Choose the format (recommended MP4).
Give a new name to your file and select the save destination.
After setting everything, click on the last “Export” button. Your improved video will be rendered and saved by CapCut. This will bring a success message, and now you will see your upscaled footage, which you can now watch or share.

Tips for Better Results
Activating the setting of Enhance quality is a great option and makes the quality of your video magical by itself, although even the combination of a couple of additional smart settings will bring the quality of the video further.
Optical Flow: Depending on the content of your footage, in the presence of rapid movement or camera panning, you can switch on the Optical Flow, and this will eliminate jerks between one frame to the next.
Minimize Noise: In cases where the video is noisy (poorly shot and dark), enable the Reduce image noise feature that is located on the same panel close to the above sentence. It assists in the removal of pixel noise and makes your images look slicker.
After Filters: You can also apply soft color correction or cinematic filters after they are upscaled in order to even out the tones and make your video look even more attractive.
This combination of tools can turn any old or low-quality video into a brand-new video.
