What it does

Topaz Video is AI video enhancement software from Topaz Labs. It works on footage you already have: raising the resolution of old or low-resolution clips, reducing noise and blur, deinterlacing, restoring archival material and generating extra frames for smoother slow motion. It runs as a standalone desktop app or as a plugin, and the page shows After Effects and DaVinci Resolve as supported editors. Rendering can happen locally, which the site says keeps files on your computer, or in the cloud using Cloud Credits, which the site says gives the fastest processing with its latest models. The site names filmmakers and editors, archivists, creators and hobbyists as its audiences. Features listed include enhancement models, motion deblur, grain, frame interpolation, SDR to HDR conversion and stabilization.
