If verticals and horizon line are important (real estate - architecture) - maybe gimbal the better choice. That said, the software is impressive - the ability to use a lower frame rate in lower lighting scenarios and still get that quality of slow-mo is maybe worth the price
I tried to upscale 1min video 2.7k to 4k. On i5 11th gtx3050ti 48Go Ram. It took 12 hours to render. Can you share best setting or best entry level computer that can handel topaz
How would the software fare with upscaling 360p or 480p to 1080? for old videos I shot in the 80s and 90s? Those I really want to upgrade and conserve for posterity in good condition. Can it actually do a good job?
i can never see the differennce no matter what settings i pick .even this guy who knows what he is doing i can barely see the differences in this video. im not sure its worth leaving your pc runnng at 100% for 5 hours just to very very marginally improve a 10 minute clip.
the more similar an AI works like a human, the more obvious should be that complaining humans complain about themself. this also means: the more the AI generates photos, videos and stuff the more the AI learns from its own generated stuff ...
Footage that went through AI software for these enhancements cannot be classified as AI generated since the footage was not AI generated. You wouldn't classify photos touched up by Photoshop as AI generated.
The fact that Topaz don't do dust or scratch removal is disappointing. Can't find any sotware that can do a great automated job with that. Non that work for me at least.
I'm just a few seconds into the video and I am kinda thrown off by the fact that you pasted your neck and head onto a frozen frame of yourself at 0:43 It just looks so weird and I don't get the reason behind it.
I use Topaz to upscale old videos that are originally 480-720p to 1440p-4k. I justvwant to enjoy older videos with higher quality. I never share them as my own work.
about june or july i downloaded the topaz demo. I was so impressed with it I wanted it immediately. I waited til their black friday sale instead. I have some old videos from 10-15 years ago that were recorded 480p 15 fps, and after topaz, if you look now it's1080p 60fps, as if I used a regular modern cell phone to shoot them. It's literally like magic, i never get tired of it. I'm redoing my entire backlog of home videos and reuploading. The difference in quality is just staggering.
10:47 Overall Topaz is great software, but this "Mosaic" images are sellers examples! The contrast is greatest here and there is no noise, the software can calculate the gradations between this clean pixels and shows you a dream result, but in reallity this situation is rare
Its really good software for repairing footage. I know a lot of fans of really old shows are using Topaz Video Enhance A.i. to upscale their favorite old shows. A lot of these old shows may never get a HD scan and its even more of a issue with Sci-Fi shows as they would record the film back to video tape and then do their special effects on computers. So those shows need to be rescanned and the special effects need to be redone.
Ok, i NEED to point out some stuff: 1. The unfocused video of the M50 is still visibly out of focus, maybe a little more sharp but still out of focus. In all my experience with topaz i found out that no matter how much you try to make an out of focus shot look good it's simply impossible. The model does not fix focus, it fixes details, so if you take an out of focus image at 720p and make it 4K it will always look like an out of focus 4k shot. The Topaz Video AI enhancement tab does not fix shooting mistakes or lens mistakes, it fixes file size and compression thus making the image look "sharper" 2. The non gimbal stabilized footage looks great BUT it won't stabilize a shot as good as premiere or davinci if it's too jittery and even with little movement it can show abberations 3. You need to respect the 180 degree rule or at least shoot at fast shutter speeds if you know you footage will be slowed down, or if there's a small chance it will be slowed down, because it will simply look blurry if you shot you footage at 1/50 and slowed it to 120 or 240 fps. No software can fix the insane ammount of motion blur a 1/50 shot at 120fps has. Great video tho !
No problem, did you learn to do that yourself or..? Or did you have people do it for you, I am myself still learning editing videos and I cant imagine the time it took to make something like this. @@unstableworldai
This is great! So you had lot of practice. Is film shcool expensive? I would love to find a premiere pro project containing all of this editing so i can imitate it lol. Do you think I can pay you to obtain the video premire pro "project"? haha @@unstableworldai
Is it ethical to use a video upscaler? Dude lay off the woke juice that's just a preposterous level of sensitivity to the point that it's utterly ridiculous. I know you're trying to be all hipster and caring about the impact diffusion models have on artists but seriously no artist is going to lose sleep over you upscaling your own material you nutjob 🥳🎉
Honestly, I’m all for it. Tools are exactly that, tools. Use them or not, but if in can enhance and improve your work then fantastic. I shoot regularly and this won’t eliminate my work, or the skills needed to produce. It will add and compliment to it. These same anti tech arguments happened during the transition between film and digital. Or when photoshop first emerged, it was also considered “cheating” yet it enhanced our work. This is a argument that happened during every new transition in technology
The thing is the amount of time you save by simply getting the shot right with the gimbal on the spot can't be matched by post if you are looking into saving time. Or for any shot for this matter, Topaz should be used to save a shot you took that you though looked good, but didn't and you find that it needs correction. Tt should not be used as an "I can photoshop that" type of tool, unless you don't value your time IMO.
Good review and good point about video "technique" being really computer "power abilities" but should we all consider how many current very succesful singers and music stars are just a result of autotune trickery? No one cares about that as they sound great, so why should we care about video lookiong perfect ? Isn't that what we want when not having big producer's resources ? Greetings from Paraguay.
Difficult to take this seriously when the thumbnail is fake, having just blurred the original image for the "before" image, and is unsurprisingly not in the video. "WTF" indeed.
The advantage of a gimbal over post stabilization is your ability to use focal length like 50mm without much background information and still have a smooth shot. Unless using a camera with gyroscope stabilization capabilities you need to see the background to smooth it
People who throw ALL A.I into the same category of “stealing art” are ridiculous. Like please show me where the “stolen art” exists within he final result? It’s only referencing other videos to understand what hair detail skin detail and eye detail looks like. It’s like me asking someone to draw a man with blond hair and blue eyes then being upset that they are using memories of people with blond hair and blue eyes to know what blue eyes look like and what blond hair looks like even though the end result looks nothing like any of the references they have seen. Some A.I models are terrible and really just an image compositing algorithm where you say “Santa riding on a plane” so it finds an image of Santa and finds an image of a plane and does a quick and rough composite of both images. That’s NOT the A.I most people use most algorithms if you put the same prompt will find 3,000 images of Santa all by different artists then 3,000+ images of different planes and will recognize the similarities between all 3,000 images to understand what Santa looks like then it will rebuild a version of Santa based on that. Can’t say “BUT HE’S WEARING RED!” Yeah 99.9% of Santa’s are. Tell an artist to draw Santa and they’ll be doing the same thing.
