Enhance vs edit
Many 'video enhancer' tools are really colour sliders — brightness, contrast, saturation. An AI enhancer rebuilds pixels: it reconstructs detail the compression threw away. Use both: enhance first, then grade the colour.
What AI can and can't do
AI rebuilds plausible detail from patterns it learned and from neighbouring frames. It's excellent on soft, compressed and low-res footage; it can't invent a readable number plate that was never in the shot.
