Great video editing technology that automatically enhances your videos using high quality photos of a scene. What it does:

Super-resolution - enhances the resolution of the video
High dynamic range - increases the dynamic range
Enhanced exposure - enhances the exposure
Object touchup - alters the objects in the scene
Object removal - removes unwanted objects from the scene - coolest feature IMO, go to 6:00 in the video to see it in action
