Video Enhance AI - Using Chronos for slow motion and frame rate conversion

[VashiNedomansky]

Wonderful update! Video Enhance is giving my archival footage documentary options I never dreamed possible. Amazing upscaling and now convincing and smooth slow motion. Thank you Topaz Labs!

Incredible. This set of software tools is advancing by leaps and bounds!

I just want to say, I have an 18fps super 8 film I'm doing a test on to speed up to 60fps and this is definitely the very best tool available. I had tried another "cutting edge" software package that really couldn't handle the confetti on my parent's 50 year old wedding movie film. Right now I'm working on a different Super 8mm movie film but as I watch it processing frame by frame I am totally in awe of what I'm seeing, it is absolutely perfect, I don't see any defects on the intermediate frames. Investing in Video Enhance AI is definitely the best decision I have ever made in my 30+ years professionally in film production!

as he said, it's not for really speed footage, like dropping something in the water or explosion. Need a really high speed chronos camera. By the way, thank you Topaz labs for this update, it's awesome.

Great work Topaz Labs. I'm able to do projects which I wouldn't be without your software package.

As often mentioned in the comments, please, please, please, just let me keep the audio when I leave the clip at 100% speed and just want to change the fps.

excellent video friend, this is truly incredible service on your part, my congratulations to all involved

I have to say this was an improvement over Flowframes in one key area on my current project. I tried interpolating some concert footage and the motion blur of the drumsticks caused crazy interpolation artifacts, likely due to how the footage was shot. There were no such artifacts when interpolating using Video Enhance AI, so while the Chronos model is admittedly slower, it did a better job than Flowframes in this scenario.

Would be good to improve on RIFE framerate upscale algorithm without any slowmotion, it is still the superior algorithm in both quality of inter-frame interpolation and speed of conversion.

one big fail with chronos is, that the keep audio is disabled for 100% slow motion. for that, the only thing is to use another program like flowframes. it can output videos with audio and 2x, 3x, 4x the input frames.
i hoped with the chronos model i can convert crap framerates like 29.7 to 30 with audio...

I REALLY Love what they are doing... BUUUT: Id REALLY love to see better support for 10bit Log-Footage. From a workflow perspective i would much rather select only some clips, scale them up and slow and then edit... its rather cumbersome to cut & grade first and then render the entire video, because only a few slowmo clips are lower res in the entire project... :(

Would love to see a film judder stabilizing feature in the future, have a lot of old filmed content that was scanned with a loose film track so it bounces a lot.

I dont understand why I cant slomo and resize my clip from fullHD to 4K

[humanizr]

Chronos works great except for one thing...its dropping the last few frames off the source material when rendered as TIF images. For most users this might not matter, but I'm trying to make seamless loops, and missing those last few frames creates a skip in the motion.

[sibfour]

How do I keep the audio when changing the framerate? The button is greyed out in Chronos.

[rukaslyricist]

i am unable to select all chronos models, nothing happens when i select them, any idea why?

Topaz Labs, in the video above you perform two actions: slowing down a clip by increasing it's frames per second but not the output speed, then "smoothing" the clip by outputing the clip at twice the speed it was shot at. For viewers who are new to the mysteries of video time remapping, could you indicate whether Video Enhance AI is duplicating frames or interpolating them? And when a clip that has been smoothed in Video Enhance AI has been output at twice the original speed, how does this footage appear when put in an editing app's timeline that is set to half the smoothed speed? If your answer is the smoothed clip needs to be re-adjusted to half speed in the editing app to conform with other clips, doesn't this defeat the purpose of smoothing its jerkiness in the first place? :)

[DarioPicciau]

If i have an image sequence as input video. How do I delcare the input frame rate? Thanks.

[zfranklin]

what happems if you simply want to convert 30 to 60 but also reduce artifacts?

[syugaming]

Hey guys. What is the difference between Chronos - SloMo and Chronos Fast??? pls I need help
