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 just the 4K versions of the cutscenes but the game will downscale these to whatever resolution you're using, so you'll still benefit!
Installation is an absolute snap.
Simply use WinRAR or a similar program to unpack both archives (Main Cinematics and Intro/Loading Screens) once it's finished downloading. And you then paste them in these two file directories, overwriting the existing files:
Steam For the main game cinematics: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Dragon Age II/modules/campaign_base/data/movies/ For the intro and loading screens: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Dragon Age II/packages/core/data/movies/
Origin For the main game cinematics: C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/Dragon Age II/modules/campaign_base/data/movies/ For the intro and loading screens: C:/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games/Dragon Age II/packages/core/data/movies/
