3. Animation Model

In previous versions, the Animation model often oversharpened anime or cartoon videos, creating halo effects. In HitPaw Video Enhancer 1.7.1.0, the dev team recalibrated the algorithm to preserve line art integrity. For animators restoring 480p cartoons to 4K, this is the standout feature. It maintains consistent color fills without smudging the black outlines.
