NEW YORK, N.Y., August 26th, 2026 - HitPaw, a leading innovator in AI-powered multimedia solutions, today announced the release of HitPaw VikPea V5.5.0. The latest version delivers faster Ultra HD restoration on supported graphics cards, a new side-by-side comparison slider for more intuitive previews, RTX hardware acceleration for key video processing features, and a more precise timeline experience. The AI Colorist model has also been upgraded to deliver richer, more consistent colorization and improved image clarity.
What's New in VikPea V5.5.0
1. Accelerated UHD Restoration Model
VikPea 5.5.0 optimizes the architecture of its UlHD Restoration model to improve processing efficiency. On supported graphics cards, the optimized model can deliver up to 20% ~35% faster processing, helping users complete high-resolution video restoration more efficiently while maintaining the quality of enhanced results. The improvement is particularly useful when working with longer videos or high-resolution footage that requires intensive processing.
2. Real-Time Before-and-After Comparison with a Slider
The preview experience is now more intuitive with a new left-right comparison slider. Users can drag the slider across a single frame to instantly compare the original footage with the restored result. This makes it easier to evaluate improvements in sharpness, detail, color, and overall image quality without switching between separate preview windows.
3. RT Rendering Powered by NVIDIA GPU Acceleration
VikPea 5.5.0 introduces RTX hardware acceleration for video background removal, video beauty, and watermark removal. On devices equipped with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, enabling RT acceleration can significantly reduce processing time and speed up video rendering.
4. More Precise Timeline Controls
The player timeline has also been refined for more accurate video navigation and editing. Featuring dynamic zoom-in and zoom-out capability, the timeline allows users to pinpoint, inspect, and select exact frame instances effortlessly. Whether trimming problematic segments or applying frame-specific enhancements, the upgraded player interface maximizes editing workflow accuracy.
5. Upgraded AI Colorist Model
VikPea 5.5.0 also introduces an upgraded AI Colorist model designed to produce more vivid and natural colorization results. Compared with the previous version, the new model delivers higher color saturation, better color consistency, and more uniform colorization across the frame.
The update also improves overall image clarity while addressing common colorization issues such as uneven coloring in local areas and color distortion. Whether restoring historical footage, adding color to black-and-white videos, or revitalizing faded scenes, the upgraded AI Colorist model provides more balanced and visually consistent results.
