I agree this product is a very useful video tool. Part of the work I do is to take SD 720x576 video and scanned 8mm/ Super 8mm files, and polish the media for HD documentaries. The best way I've found to do this prior to using Topaz Lab's Video Enhance, is to rigorously prepare the SD files. This helps not only to ensure a better looking SD file for up-scaling, but it will also produce better re-scaled assets for video compositing.

Firstly I use ReVision FX's Deinterlace filter to remove the majority of "combing" or stair-casing in SD video. Secondly, I use ReVision FX's directional blur vertically at 1-2 pixels, to remove the remainder of combing. Thirdly, I do a de-noise pass using Neat Video. Finally, I do an initial colour correct of the file and render. Now the prepared SD file is ready to be up-scaled in Video Enhance. This may seem like a convoluted process. But then, what standard do you want for your video work?

It is bloody amazing! I am running the trial version on a slaved PC over ethernet. The Dell tower has an i7 and GTX 1080 GPU and I am controling it from my Mac using Microsoft Desktop Remote. I am seeing a frame every .02 seconds rendered. The results are unreal, it is as good as Topoaz claim. This is the holy grail for video, I have kept all my NTSC videos from 30 odd years ago in case this ever came to pass. I never believed it would but I refused to give up a small hope. It is literally magic.

best software i have ever had in my 26 years of life on this earth. i converted 480p videos into 1080p its amazing what this software can do.

[harosokman]

I've just started using it. I am amazed at where tech has come. Imagine what we can do in 10 years from now.

It would be helpful to have the AI models explained in detail. The help text is just not enough to make a decision to use. Perhaps a blog article or documentation would be helpful to us understanding what each model will do for us.

As a non destructive approach I really like the options it has. Resolving detail out of noise still amazes me, their new updated version must be way better.

Good job, Topaz. You got yourself a new customer. I will buy and have a try!

"A few minute of processing"

22 hours later.. still waiting

[gordonfreeman]

I have this software and I can relate it works I tested it whit a 360p video from my 2010 Nokia and the final result was pretty impressive, this is for real IT WORKS

[alex_montoya]

Works mainly with videos that were well filmed from the start. Almost useless for video8 or VHS yet

Studying the old man comparisons, it looks like a Gaussian blur has been applied on the unprocessed clip to make it look less sharp. I also think enhancing time is prohibitively long

Topaz actually does work!!! my favorite part is how it enhances and upscales from 1080 to 4k

[the_stan_show]

I'm currently processing a 20 year old 30 min home video (640x480). I chose "Clean up old interlaced footage", upscaled to 1080p and applied the crop. The processing time is 80 hours. WOW. And that's with a fast Xeon 5160 proc. At 100% scale (no upscaling or cropping) It's 22 hours.

There should be a pause or continue later option for rendering

Hi. Dose it work with raw video, like 2K raw up to 4K raw?

[kirukato_official]

I'm lowkey considering getting this software, I have a 4K upscale of a movie from my childhood but some scenes like close ups and zoomed out shots that get blurred up for some reason, and I would like to apply a "detail preserve" AI filter like the one Adobe After Effects has but without having to pay for a subscription. Love how Topaz is just a one time purchase and you get all the features show on in this video. 😊❤

[PS-ysyg]

it would be nice a tutorial with the explanation about what Ai mode is better? how can ai know the difference between them? thanx

[campoperez]

I get many processing errors. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it could be.

[hernan]

many people dont understand something very simple.. this is for bad quality or noisy or compressed or low resolution videos... if you wanna remasterize a video like 1080p with 60fps with very poor compression, , , topaz its not needed unless you wanna go higher to 4k (need very very powerfull pc )but remaster a 4k with 60fps.. topaz got nothing to do.. this is for 360, 480 and maybe 720p low resolution videos and medium to high compressed with noise, unsteady and more.. hope this be usefull

[wwethemesandmore]

I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Processor and the rendering for a video takes way too long
