4:2:2 cameras - capable of capturing double the color information compared with most standard cameras - are becoming widely available for consumers. At the same time, generative AI video models are rapidly increasing in functionality and quality, making new tools and workflows possible.
NVIDIA RTX GPUs based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture include dedicated hardware to encode and decode 4:2:2 video, and come with fifth-generation Tensor Cores designed to accelerate AI and deep learning workloads.
GeForce RTX 50 Series and NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Series are primed to meet this demand, powering generative AI, new AI features and state-of-the-art video editing workflows for quicker cuts and faster exports.
4:2:2 Goes Mainstream 4:2:2 10-bit compatible video cameras are on the rise.
These cameras, which were traditionally reserved for professional use due to their high cost, are becoming more cost-friendly, with major manufacturers offering them at prices under $600.
4:2:2 cameras can capture double the color information compared with standard 4:2:0 cameras while only increasing raw file sizes by 30%.
4:2:2 video cameras are on the rise, thanks to more affordable prices. Creators have more camera options than ever at lower entry points. Standard cameras typically use 4:2:0 8-bit color compression, capable of capturing only a fraction of color information. While 4:2:0 is acceptable for video playback on browsers, professional video editors demand cameras that capture 4:2:2 color accuracy and fidelity, while keeping file sizes reasonable.
The downside of 4:2:2 is that the additional color information requires more computational power for playback, often leading to stuttering streams. As a result, many editors have had to create proxies before editing - a time-consuming process that requires additional storage and lowers fidelity while editing.
The GeForce RTX 50 Series adds hardware acceleration for 4:2:2 encode and decode, helping solve this computational challenge. RTX 50 Series GPUs boast a 10x acceleration in 4:2:2 encoding and can decode up to 8K 75 frames per second - equivalent to 10x 4K 30fps streams per decoder.
The most popular video editing apps, including Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and Wondershare Filmora, support NVIDIA hardware acceleration for 4:2:2 encode and decode. Adobe Premiere Pro offers decode support.
Combining 4:2:2 support with NVIDIA hardware increases creative possibilities. 10-bit 4:2:2 retains more color information than 8-bit 4:2:0, resulting in more accurate color representations and better color grading results for video editors.
4:2:2 offers more accurate color representation for better color grading results. The extra color data from 4:2:2 support allows for increased flexibility during color correction and grading for more detailed adjustments. Improved keying enables cleaner and more accurate extractions of subjects from background, as well as sharper edges for smaller keyed objects.

4:2:2 reduces file sizes without significantly impacting picture quality, offering an optimal balance between quality and storage. Generative AI-Powered Video Editing Generative AI models are enabling video editors to generate filler video, extend clips, modify videos styles and apply advanced visual effects with speed and ease, drastically reducing production times.
Popular models like WAN or LTX Video can generate higher-quality video with greater prompt accuracy and faster load times.
GeForce RTX and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs based on NVIDIA Blackwell enable these large, complex models to run quickly and on device, with support thanks to NVIDIA CUDA optimizations for PyTorch. Plus, the fifth-generation Tensor Cores in these GPUs offer support for FP4 quantization, allowing developers and enthusiasts to improve performance by over 2x and halve the VRAM needed.
Cutting-Edge Video Editing AI Features Modern video editing apps provide an impressive array of advanced AI features - accelerated by GeForce RTX and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs.
DaVinci Resolve Studio 20, now in general release, adds new AI effects and integrates NVIDIA TensorRT to optimize AI performance. One of the new features, UltraNR Noise Reduction, is an AI-driven noise reduction mode that intelligently targets and reduces digital noise in video footage to maintain image clarity while minimizing softening. UltraNR Noise Reduction runs up to 75% faster on the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU than the previous generation.
Magic Mask is another AI-powered feature in DaVinci Resolve that enables users to quickly and accurately select and track objects, people or features within a scene, simplifying the process of creating masks and effects. Magic Mask v2 adds a paint brush to further adjust masking selections for more accurate and faster workflows.
Topaz Video AI Pro video enhancement software uses AI models like Gaia and Artemis to intelligently increase video resolution to 4K, 8K and even 16K - adding detail and sharpness while minimizing artifacts and noise. The software also benefits from TensorRT acceleration.
Topaz Starlight mini, the first local desktop diffusion model for video enhancement, can enhance footage - from tricky 8/16mm film to de-interlaced mini-DV video - that may otherwise be challenging for traditional AI models to handle. The model delivers exceptional quality at the cost of intensive compute requirements, meaning it can only run locally on RTX GPUs.
Adobe Premiere Pro recently released several new AI features, such as Adobe Media Intelligence, which uses AI to analyze footage and apply semantic tags to clips. This lets users more easily and quickly find specific footage by describing its content, including objects, locations, camera angles and eve
