- Notes:
  > Compression from social platforms, messaging apps, old cameras, and repeated exports can make a video look blocky, soft, or noisy. AI enhancement can help clean visible artifacts, sharpen important edges, and recover a more polished appearance. The strongest results usually begin with realistic expectations about what the original footage contains.
  > 
  > Avoid pushing every adjustment to the maximum. Excessive sharpening can create harsh outlines, while aggressive noise removal can remove natural texture from faces, clothing, and backgrounds. Compare a few versions instead of assuming that the strongest setting is automatically the best one.
  > 
  > Pay special attention to videos with human faces, products, or on-screen text. Those areas reveal quality problems quickly. If an enhanced version introduces unnatural skin texture, flickering edges, or distorted letters, use a gentler approach or process a cleaner source clip.
