Topaz Labs recently launched a new version of their AI video enhancement tool, specifically designed for small studios and content creators: Video AI Pro. This Pro version allows you to work offline and increase speeds by up to 10x by using multiple GPUs. You can also denoise, stabilize, and upscale footage to resolutions up to 24K. So, let’s take a closer look at it!
Topaz Labs is an American company that makes AI photo and video enhancement software for photographers, filmmakers, and content creators. The company focuses on three main image improvements: upscale, sharpen, and denoise pictures and videos. According to Topaz Labs, they have more than 1.5 million customers worldwide, including big names such as Amazon, IMAX, NASA, Netflix, Nike, and The Sphere.
Topaz Labs Video AI Pro is a standalone application for Windows and macOS computers. It also supports plugins for DaVinci Resolve and Adobe After Effects. Video AI Pro can ingest multiple different formats, including Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR, H.264/5, VP9, AV1, OpenEXR, PNG, JPG, TIFF, DPX, and Cineform. It supports LOG footage with the ability to apply LUTs.
Once your footage is loaded inside Video AI Pro, it basically allows you to do three things: upscale, denoise, and stabilize.
On the denoising side, the company mentions, “trained with millions of video frames, Video AI Pro intelligently understands the difference between noise and detail.”
The stabilization technology is exciting because it doesn’t crop into your image like most tools. Still, it recreates the edge of the image and “recovers detail lost by unwanted camera movement, while also reducing blur caused by motion and slow shutter speeds.”
Lastly, Video AI Pro can upscale 4K/8K footage in multiple resolutions up to 24K. With more content in substantial definition needed for devices such as the Apple Vision Pro, this AI Upscale technology will be much welcome.
However, this “Pro” version also has multiple other advantages. First, it allows you to work locally, which is crucial for sensitive projects. Second, it supports multi-GPU rendering, which can increase rendering speeds by up to ten times, depending on the number of GPUs you have and how fast they are. Once you’ve finished working on your footage, Video AI Pro can export it in YUV 4:2:0, 4:2:2, or 4:4:4 at up to 16-bit per channel RGB. Last but not least, the Pro version includes the full commercial license.
Topaz Labs Video AI Pro is available now, starting at $1099 for one user per year. The Video AI Pro Teams subscription, which gives a team of five to ten creatives multiple seats, is $4999.
