YouTube starts AI upscaling videos
"Today YouTube has announced that it will start automatically AI upscaling low quality videos that are under 1080p resolution. This will initially upscale from SD to HD, but eventually will go all the way up to 4K "in the near future". It's intended for use on TVs only, at least for now, and whenever it's employed you'll see a "Super resolution" descriptor underneath each resolution option, as portrayed in the video below. Creators will be able to opt out of this if they want."
"YouTube is also expanding the thumbnail file limit from 2MB to 50MB, so expect "new, stunning 4K-resolution thumbnails" for videos soon. Also, you will be able to flip through YouTube channels with "immersive previews" on the homepage, and the latest Shows design lets creators organize their videos into "binge-worthy collections for the living room". There's also contextual search coming to TVs - when you initiate a search from a channel page, that channel's videos will be prioritized at the top of the results."
YouTube will automatically use AI to upscale videos below 1080p on televisions, starting by converting SD to HD and planning to reach 4K in the near future. The option will be labeled "Super resolution" under resolution choices and creators can opt out. The thumbnail upload limit will increase from 2MB to 50MB, enabling 4K-resolution thumbnails. The homepage will include immersive channel previews and a Shows layout for curated binge collections. Contextual TV search will prioritize results from the current channel. QR codes will link viewers to product pages on their phones.
