VIDEOAI: Enhanced using rhea-1; mode: manual; revert compression at 0; recover details at 30; sharpen at 25; reduce noise at 13; dehalo at 8; anti-alias/deblur at 0; focus fix Off; and recover original detail at 20.

Changed resolution to 3840x2160


I tried a few different settings and having Reduce Noise on 13 is the best compromise, after many tries with the settings. Even having it at 15 had a hugely noticeable difference, making the faces look too waxy (Ironically lol). So there are still some scenes with wavy grain in the background but faces & objects have enough clarity.
