Welcome back to Carl Tomich Tech Reviews. Today we dive into the AIARTY Video Enhancer (also called AIRT Video Enhancer), a $165 USD lifetime tool that promises Topaz Video AI quality without the subscription treadmill. I ran it through archival 1930s films, travel vlog b-roll, and crunchy smartphone clips to see if it really earns a spot in a creator workflow.
AIARTY ships with an ever-growing collection of AI models. The MoDetail model became my go-to during testing, breathing life into grainy 1080p travel clips and ancient 24fps reels without plastic skin or haloing.
Upscale SD or HD video to crisp 4K/60p while simultaneously removing noise, sharpening edges, and rebuilding texture. Presets combine denoise, deblur, and detail recovery so you can preview results instantly.
Convert 24/30fps travel footage to buttery 60 or 120fps. Motion vectors are more stable than I expected, especially with MoDetail and the SlowMo+ model when applied to gimbal footage.
Basic yet useful sliders for temperature, tint, vibrance, and contrast let you dial in a pleasing look before export. An audio denoise module strips hiss from on-camera mics without wrecking dialog.
Queue multiple clips, set independent presets, and let AIARTY chew through overnight renders. Watch Folder support means you can drop footage into a directory and the app handles the rest.
Crop, rotate, and add safe margins before exporting. It’s not a full NLE, but for prepping archival or social media footage, the built-in adjustments save a trip to Premiere or Resolve.
Unlike subscription-heavy rivals, your $165 USD license includes future model packs and UI upgrades. AIARTY pushed two updates during my testing window, adding faster GPU acceleration for NVIDIA RTX cards.
I ran identical clips through both apps on my RTX 4070 laptop. AIARTY doesn’t always beat Topaz for extreme upscales, but it landed within 10% of the quality at half the render time on 1080p → 4K conversions.
| Scenario | AIARTY Result | Topaz Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1930s B&W 720p → 4K | Cleans up grain, restores facial detail with minimal flicker. | Slightly sharper, but occasional ghosting in backgrounds. | AIARTY exported 22% faster with MoDetail + Denoise. |
| Smartphone Night Clip | Reduces chroma noise and keeps skin tone natural. | Sharper edges yet visible noise in the shadows. | AIARTY’s color correction saved an extra grading pass. |
| Action Cam 1080p60 → 4K60 | Stable motion interpolation, no stuttering. | More micro detail but longer render times. | AIARTY completed in 8m14s vs Topaz at 12m45s. |
For most general footage, MoDetail offered the best balance of texture and smoothness. Switch to DeBlur+ for shaky archival scans and SlowMo+ for action cameras.
The preset browser labels each profile by footage type. I had success with the Old Film Restore preset for 16mm reels and Mobile Boost for vlog b-roll.
Create watch folders per project and enable GPU acceleration. AIARTY will auto-apply your last-used preset, great for pumping out YouTube shorts in bulk.
Dial in the color adjustment panel before export to save a round-trip. Subtle warmth plus contrast helped the 1930s footage pop without overcooking highlights.
AIARTY is a one-time $165 USD purchase, covering unlimited installs and updates. During this review, the developers offered Carl Tomich Tech Reviews viewers an extra discount.

If you want to rescue vintage footage, polish smartphone clips, or future-proof your travel content for 4K delivery, AIARTY punches well above its price. It doesn’t entirely dethrone Topaz for mission-critical film restoration, but the speed, lifetime updates, and thoughtful presets make it a killer option for creators on a budget.
