Editor’s note: This post is part of our In the NVIDIA Studio series, which celebrates featured artists, offers creative tips and tricks, and demonstrates how NVIDIA Studio technology improves creative workflows. We’re also deep diving on new GeForce RTX GPU features, technologies and resources, and how they dramatically accelerate content creation.

Wondershare Filmora — a video editing app with AI-powered tools — now supports NVIDIA RTX Video HDR, joining editing software like Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve and Cyberlink PowerDirector.

RTX Video HDR significantly enhances video quality, ensuring the final output is suitable for the best monitors available today.

Livestreaming software OBS Studio and XSplit Broadcaster now support Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, giving streamers more control over video quality through client-side encoding and automatic configurations. The feature, developed in collaboration between Twitch, OBS and NVIDIA, also paves the way for more advancements, including vertical live video and advanced codecs such as HEVC and AV1.

A summer’s worth of creative app updates are included in the July Studio Driver, ready for download today. Install the NVIDIA app beta — the essential companion for creators and gamers — to keep GeForce RTX PCs up to date with the latest NVIDIA drivers and technology.

And this week’s featured In the NVIDIA Studio artist, Kevin Stratvert, shares all about AI-powered content creation in Wondershare Filmora.

(Wonder)share the Beauty of RTX Video

RTX Video HDR analyzes standard dynamic range video and transforms it into HDR10-quality video, expanding the color gamut to produce clearer, more vibrant frames and enhancing the sense of depth for greater immersion.

With RTX Video HDR, Filmora users can create high-quality content that’s ideal for gaming videos, travel vlogs or event filmmaking.

Combining RTX Video HDR with RTX Video Super Resolution — another AI-powered tool that uses trained models to sharpen edges, restore features and remove artifacts in video — further enhances visual quality. RTX Video HDR requires an NVIDIA RTX GPU connected to an HDR10-compatible monitor or TV. For more information, check out the RTX Video FAQ.

Those with a RTX GPU-powered PC can send files to the Filmora desktop app and continue to edit with local RTX acceleration, doubling the speed of the export process with dual encoders on GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or above GPUs.

Maximizing AI Features in Filmora

Kevin Stratvert has the heart of a teacher — he’s always loved to share his technical knowledge and tips with others.

One day, he thought, “Why not make a YouTube video to explain stuff directly to users?” His first big hit was a tutorial on how to get Microsoft Office for free through Office.com. The video garnered millions of views and tons of engagement — and he’s continued creating content ever since.

“The more content I created, the more questions and feedback I got from viewers, sparking this cycle of creativity and connection that I just couldn’t get enough of,” said Stratvert.

Explaining the benefits of AI has been an area of particular interest for Stratvert, especially as it relates to AI-powered features in Wondershare Filmora. In one YouTube video, Filmora Video Editor Tutorial for Beginners, he breaks down the AI effects video editors can use to accelerate their workflows.

Examples include:

  • Smart Edit: Edit footage-based transcripts generated automatically, including in multiple languages.
  • Smart Cutout: Remove unwanted objects or change the background in seconds.
  • Speech-to-Text: Automatically generate compelling descriptions, titles and captions.

“AI has become a crucial part of my creative toolkit, especially for refining details that really make a difference,” said Stratvert. “By handling these technical tasks, AI frees up my time to focus more on creating content, making the whole process smoother and more efficient.”

Stratvert has also been experimenting with NVIDIA ChatRTX, a technology that lets users interact with their local data, installing and configuring various AI models, effectively prompting AI for both text and image outputs using CLIP and more.

NVIDIA Broadcast has been instrumental in giving Stratvert a professional setup for web conferences and livestreams. The app’s features, including background noise removal and virtual background, help maintain a professional appearance on screen. It’s especially useful in home studio settings, where controlling variables in the environment can be challenging.

Stratvert stresses the importance of his GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card in the content creation process.

“With an RTX GPU, I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in render times and the smoothness of playback, even in demanding scenarios,” he said. “Additionally, the advanced capabilities of RTX GPUs support more intensive tasks like real-time ray tracing and AI-driven editing features, which can open up new creative possibilities in my edits.”
