60fps, 4K version of the 1896 Lumiere Brothers film using Topaz Labs Gigapixel

A YouTube user Denis Shiryaev uploaded a 4K, 60fps version of the 1896 Lumiere Brothers film “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat.”

To create the updated film, Shiryaev used two publicly available enhancement programs, DAIN and Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel A.I. The first of these tools inserts new frames into a video clip to smooth the viewing experience (DAIN - a vector motion interpolator - LB). The second identifies details and structures within images and then “completes” them.

Enjoy,

Wow! Impressive work.

I have a question, if somebody could clarify:
What’s the best order, applying DAIN first and then Topaz Video Enhance or vice versa?
Actually I have the same question about to apply light, contrast and color enhancement (in Da Vinci). Must be Da Vinci first and then Topaz Video Enhance or vice versa?

I would also be interested in the optimal workflow for this. Should one first apply DAIN or VEAI? Naively I would assume VEAI…
