You can see the sample input videos at the bottom, and options like Batch Processing, Export, and Help on the top menu bar.
Step 2 – Load the input video

After installing the software, you can load the input video. Click the Load Video button and select the input video from your desktop or laptop.
Try out sample video for quick testing (Optional)

If you are trying the trial version and want quick testing, you can try the sample videos for faster testing and output comparison. If you want to see how each AI model outputs, you can first try the sample videos given at the bottom.
Step 3 – Select the AI models

You can select the AI models using the Select AI Colorization Model dropdown, which includes the old version, manual v2.0, and automatic v2.1. By default, New Model Version 2.1 – Auto, Slow is selected.
The old model of Pixbim Video Colorize AI version 1.0

This is the AI model used in the older version and is included here. The output will be the same as colorizing with Pixbim Video Colorize AI v1.0.
The new model version 2.0, manual and fast

This model is faster. You can see parameters like Reduce Unwanted Color Tones, which is always enabled for optimal coloring. You can use the Red Intensity slider if you feel there are more reddish tones on the screen.
New model version 2.1, Automatic and Slow

This model is automatic and slow. All parameters are tested and set to an optimal point, where new users can directly load a video and select this AI model. This is suitable for users who don’t want to change any settings.
Step 4 – Select the Color Factor

By default, the Color Factor is set to Low, and you can change it to Medium or High. Medium gives good colorization.
Step 5 – Start the video colorization process

After loading the input, start the video colorization process. Click the Start Processing Video and Save button, and the software allows you to save the output video in your preferred location. You can rename the output as well. Once you name and save the output in your preferred location, the software will begin the video colorization process.
Step 6 – Access the colorized output

While the software is processing, you can see the progress using the progress bar. You can also see frame-by-frame colorization, where the left side shows the input frame and the right side shows the colorized frame. Once the video is completely processed, the progress bar will reach 100%. You can directly access the output using the icon indicated in the screenshot.
Batch Processing Mode
The basic function of batch processing is to reduce time and user intervention if you have a collection of black and white videos that need to be colored at once without manual interference.
How to colorize a collection of black and white videos through a single click? - Automatic video colorization using batch process
Step 1 – Click the Batch Processing option

Before batch processing, organize all input videos that need to be colorized into a single folder. Then click the Batch Process option on the top menu bar.
Step 2 – Select the folder

Select the option Select the folder of bulk videos and start processing, and choose the folder. The software will detect how many videos are inside the folder and process them one by one.
Note:
For batch processing, you can select any AI model. If you already have preferred parameter values, you can adjust them before running. You can also change values in between and run again. The optimal setup is selecting the Color Factor as Low, enabling Deflickering, and always enabling Reduce Unwanted Color Tones.
Pause & Restart
You can pause video colorization if you have important tasks in between that need to be prioritized. You can pause using the Pause button and restart the colorization process at any time. This gives flexibility when colorizing black and white movies.
Export Video
The Export Video option is used to download partial colorized output to see how the video is colorized. If you have a big movie or long footage running for hours and need to see the output instantly, you can partially download the output and preview it.
This also helps users adjust parameters to get optimal colorization. The exported output will not have audio. Please don’t think this is an error. In the Export option, you will get only the colorized output without audio.
