In other words, don’t try to scale up a 640×480 image – its barely usable. I found Gigapixel only works on relatively high quality images. Some people have output video to JPG images and the used Gigapixel to upscale all of the images. If you need that, it might be a handy tool to have available.Īnother product Topaz Gigapixel AI provides upscaling of still images. If instead, the goal is to upscale some old HD video – those results are quite noticeable and good. At $199, its fairly pricey and time consuming to process old films with only a small benefit. My view is that Video Enhance AI has some value in noise reduction of old films, but didn’t remove dust and scratches. Some reviewers (like the one reviewer above) say they have ripped high quality SD DVD content and gotten relatively good upscale results to an HD-like level. Better noise reduction would have also looked frame to frame to identify dust and scratch marks and eliminate them – but I did not see that happening. I did use it successfully on some old archival footage (from poor quality B&W film) and it did a subtle bit of noise reduction which was useful, but not super valuable for the effort it required. Depending on the upscale model used, the enhancements could look a bit like over done noise reduction with sort of a cartoon quality to the final result. ![]() Looks more like 3K video than 4K, but it is a very nice improvement.įor upscaling old 640×480 video, the enhancements are very limited. My thoughts based on my tests – so far:įor upscaling high quality HD video (shot on a Lumix GH-2 originally) to 4K, this works very well with a noticeable detail improvement. ![]() I am working with the trial version currently. ![]() Source: Topaz Video Enhance AI Review – Delphineous This review represents what I think of Topaz Labs Video Enhance AI, after using the product over a few weeks in quarantine with various video types.
