What’s New In HitPaw VikPea V5.0.0?

1. UHD Restoration Model

The UHD Restoration Model is engineered for high-resolution footage, focusing on videos of 720P and above. It complements the existing General model and Quality Repair model by delivering superior detail recovery, natural sharpening, and more accurate facial restoration.

What it improves

Fine texture and pore restoration on faces
Compression artifact mitigation on high bitrate and social media sourced files
Natural sharpening that preserves motion stability across frames

Best for

Professional videographers and filmmakers
Creators preparing high resolution deliverables
Any user seeking the cleanest, most faithful visual restoration

2. Professional Model Suite

A set of specialized models built for targeted problem solving. Each model is tuned for a specific class of artifact or enhancement so professionals can pick the right tool for the job instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Denoise Model

This model specializes in reducing unwanted noise commonly found in footage captured in low-light or nighttime conditions. It intelligently distinguishes between natural details and distracting noise, ensuring that fine textures, facial features, and scene depth remain intact while graininess is removed. The result is a cleaner, more professional look without sacrificing the authenticity of the video.

Use cases: Night footage, low light cellphone captures, high ISO noise

Effect: Remove luminance and chroma noise while keeping edges and detail intact

Decompression Model

The Decompression Model focuses on restoring video quality that has been degraded by repeated compression, such as clips downloaded from social media platforms or transmitted multiple times online. It effectively repairs mosaic blocks, compression artifacts, and loss of sharpness, reconstructing the footage to appear closer to its original high-quality state. This is especially useful for creators who work with reused or user-generated content.

Use cases: Repeatedly shared or compressed videos such as messaging app transfers, older uploads, or low bandwidth encodings

Effect: Repairs blocky mosaic artifacts, patchy colors, and ring-like compression halos

Sharpen Model

The Sharpen Model enhances edge clarity and fine details in your footage. By carefully increasing the definition of textures, contours, and subject outlines, it makes the main elements of the scene stand out more vividly. This model is particularly helpful for highlighting key subjects, improving product videos, or refining travel and lifestyle clips where clarity is essential.

Use cases: Footage that needs stronger edge definition such as product videos and interview B-roll

Effect: Selective edge enhancement that reduces haloing and maintains natural texture

3. AI Colorist

AI Colorist is a region-aware colorization engine that analyzes frames and applies consistent color mapping across continuous frames. The model is optimized to maintain temporal color coherence so the results look natural on playback.

Target media

Black and white films and documentaries
Home movies and family archives such as VHS and 8mm film
Old news footage and cultural archival material

Key capabilities

Per-region color prediction for accurate skin tones and material appearance
Temporal smoothing to avoid flicker between frames
Adjustable intensity controls and targeted masks for selective colorization

4. Watermark Removal Model Upgrade

New point-select masking and interface redesigned. Users can now click on the exact area of a watermark and let the system infer the mask coordinates. This method speeds up removal for logos, static watermarks, and on-screen text by removing manual mask painting.

Improved handling

Better results for subtitles and semi-transparent watermarks
Enhanced logo removal that blends surrounding pixels for a seamless look

Workflow advantage

Faster setup for batch processing
Fewer touch-ups required after export

5. 100% Cloud-Based Export

Both the Watermark Removal and AI Color models now support full cloud-based export. By shifting entirely to cloud resources, VikPea V5.0.0 significantly reduces the load on local systems, offering faster and more reliable rendering performance.

HitPaw VikPea is compatible with both Windows and MacOS, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Now you can try out the new features by downloading the free trial version, or purchase the full package starts from $43.19/month.
