I just downloaded it and it’s absolutely THAT good. Now I record videos in a bedroom studio with a 1080p camera with good autofocus. I basically just wanted it to be 4k so I could have more options when cropping. And it works FLAWLESSLY. Super impressed. The export times can take a while, but they let you export multiple at a time, so you can set it and forget it till it’s done 10/10
The IRIS models are my favorite. They can literally turn an iPhone video into looking like it came out of a professional grade camera (without pixel peeping). It's actually insane how good and optimized the tech is.
IRIS (V2) is my favorite too 🤩but depends on source and what you want. For movies is use often lower invasive models "GAIA", "Artemis V12 HQ" or "Theia Fine Tune (Fidelity)"
I've found Iris is the most versatile and gives the best upscaling without introducing artifacts, even if it doesn't necessarily make a massive improvement.
@@MatthewPolack I did - so far I have not been happy with anything I tried. However, I mostly tried to improve very bad (some of them) interlaced sources just a little bit. It clearly made the resulting videos in some stills better however, overall - the result was 100% for the bin. Terribly in motion, very bad in de-interlacing as it made things much worse even.
One thing I've noticed while using this software is that using the models made for sharpening already good video are the best for upscaling any video resolution. The low quality models tend to just smudge all details.
I watched the video in full screen, and after 5 minutes, I literally wanted to right-click on PMFDRIVE and eject that! 😄 Thanks for the video... I'm off to sleep; obviously, I needed to.
For the cereal commercial upscale, didn't you have the AI turned off for stabilization, motion deblur, frame interpolation? The slider was not moved to right. Does the software automatically apply these Ai features?
Correct. I didn't need to set these as the shot was mostly static and the preset that I used didn't set them. The software does not automatically set these features.
there are a few ways to increase the hi8 quality, first do a deinterlacing process, then use avisynth or any video edior that can scale down to the video to around 300 pixels with the sharpest downscaling cuz that is more native than 480, then use topaz to scale it back up and that should leave better results and its a higher chance that it removes the sharpening effects / halos
yeah. try zoomed out footage of people in a tv series or something. then ‘enhance’ and zoom in. its just a blur. AI still needs a lot more of the I, it seems.
1985 we shot a movie in 16mm. It was converted into VHS, then skanned to digital video, terrible quality. Is it possible to improve such stuff into HD-resolution?
Could you answer please a question for me? How long would it take to process a shitty quality video - 1280x720 30 fps - like the first one you show on the video, to 1920x1080 60 fps? A 30 minute video. Based on your GPU of course. I'm thinking about buying GPU just for Topaz, so if you could help that would mean a lot. If you could do a preset in 5 minutes that would save my ass.

After 2 minutes in the video, I was convinced that the presenter is excellent in his arguments. Excellent work.
Wow ... the differences really are shocking. Thanks for this video mate. Good job! 😃👍

So how did it go? Have you tried it out?

They do a really good annual Black Friday sale. I’m planning to grab it then.
Good idea, I will do the same so thanks for the heads up
@@buskinproduction Wish the black Friday deal had an option for just VideoAI
Really great review. Glad I found your channel. I was searching for a review of Topaz and video was just what I needed. Sub'd

outstanding sir
Love the "enhance" jump cuts 😂😂
Thank you, very informative video showing some of the features I'm currently interested in. You've made me a subscriber to your channel.

No, why would it anyway

What's the matter with avx2? I just can't install the software on my machine.
It means your system is old and is reminding you to upgrade
@@sanadakhumanthem3557 Well, what is old? I have a 10th generation i5.
How much time it takes 1 hour footage upscale to 4k
purchased topaz video ai but was very disappointed to see that it doesn't have a fix for back lit video.
I must admit, its definitely a bit better
Hmmm, I do not see the much, much better in your zoom in comparison.
Quality did not change to me
3:47😂
me watching this in 480 🤦♂🤦♂
It’s so expensive
The sound and logo at the start of this clip. Horrible! Made me leave this channel.
the most useless video i watched today ...
