Demo settings: Quick upscale · 2× output · 40% sharpen. These are processed still frames, not a video playback comparison.
Sample sources were downsampled to 480 × 270, then processed at 960 × 540 using the app’s Quick upscale pipeline. These examples do not demonstrate AI detail mode. Results depend on the source and settings. Photos: landscape, Davide Cantelli, David Clode / Unsplash.
THE RIGHT ROUTE FOR YOUR FOOTAGE
Restore with intention.
Choose the process that suits the shot, then refine the output without leaving the app.
Clean up before scaling.
Add a light denoise pass before resizing and sharpening. Balance a cleaner source with the detail you want to keep.

Choose a model for general footage, anime and illustration, or animation video. AI detail processing takes longer and can interpret or alter fine features.

The details behind the finish.
Is Shift Enhancer an After Effects plugin?
No. It is a standalone Windows video application. Grade Shift Standard and Pro are separate After Effects effect suites.
Does every mode use AI?
Quick upscale uses scaling and sharpening. Fast restoration adds cleanup. AI detail uses the selected restoration model. The comparison above shows the Quick upscale pipeline only.
Will a higher FPS setting create new motion?
No. A higher export FPS repeats frames to reach the selected rate. This release does not generate intermediate motion frames.
How long will an export take?
Time depends on the footage, resolution, processing mode, model and hardware. AI detail generally takes longer than Quick upscale. No fixed render speed or real-time performance is promised.
