This mod replaces the pre-rendered cutscenes the game uses to progress the story. These were 720P resolution and 30FPS. I used AI to upgrade them to 4K and 60FPS. I've also uploaded 1080P and 1440P versions, as well. It's a simple drop in replacement to upgrade your latest playthrough!

Credit of course to the amazing people at BioWare who worked on this game and created these wonderful cinematics!
Using AI upscaling and AI interpolation, the cinematics are now much sharper while preserving the artist's intent of the originals. The biggest upgrade in my opinion is converting them to 60FPS. Normally interpolation produces sub-par results, but AI-based interpolation is vastly superior to the point where it almost looks native. I've uploaded 1080P, 1440P, and 4K versions of the cutscenes, so you can just pick what resolution you play at. I'm assuming it would downscale the 4K ones regardless, but wanted to offer lower download size ones. I've also uploaded the original 720P movies in case you need to redownload them without redownloading the whole game.
Installation is an absolute snap. Simply use WinRAR or a similar program to unpack both archives (Game Cinematics and Intro/EA_BioWare Logos) once it's finished downloading. And you then paste them in these two file directories:
