If the trial mode gives you the results you want, don’t update. You can feel confident that if you buy it, it will work the exact same as the trial mode but without the watermark.
Fact: Enhancing videos well takes time. A lot of time. TVAI was made to speed up that process with some videos. From the videos you describe, TVAI is not the tool you want, yet. It is almost perfect at HD to FHD upscale enhancement. Currently, any resolution lower, it can do some things, but not like what you sound like you want out of it. For VHS sources, it basically just makes the files larger. They still look about the same—unless you do the face re-creation models. Then they look the same except for the faces. For interpolation, though it’s good, it still feels incorrect if used on a video that’s longer than 7 minutes. That’s my experience with it. In a 40 minute video, there is an instance that feels wrong or jarring or distracting about every 10 minutes. That’s way better than modern TV screens that do that about every 30 seconds, but still not quite what you’re hoping for.
To me it sounds like you want Hybrid and to know what all of the filters can do and when to use them on what sources. So… you’re back to the fact that enhancing videos takes a lot of time.
