In this video I test out CapCut's free artificial intelligence (AI) video upscaling software by comparing Eric Laithwaite's famous large gyro wheel experiment before and after upscaling. The quality is visibly better after upscaling. This was a surprise to me since CapCut's software was free online, at least for this short video clip. I may start AI upscaling other older videos, especially important ones such as this Eric Laithwaite experiment, which demonstrates anti-gravity in my opinion. The CapCut software and video used are listed below:
