Would love it if Topaz Video AI had the feature to move the subjects eyes to be looking directly in the camera. This would be a great feature for when someone is reading a script off to the side.
I just posted this on another thread:
Well, count me in as someone who is SCREAMING for this feature. We edit corporate videos made by many people who are asked to make them at home with no proper prompter. Even when we direct them live there it only gets so good as there is no physical way without an imposing prompter/camera setup (in today’s incredible shrinking office) to get a reliable camera gaze. Topaz, please do it!
Any chance this is on the roadmap? I’ve not found anything in the discussions?

I know Nvidia offers this with one of their products. For anyone who doesn’t want to search it: It’s an AI that runs while you’re on a video call. It changes your eyes so they are always focused on the camera.
Putting it in TVAI seems like something maybe five users would use… but let’s see. Any votes it gets will be an accurate count.
As far as I know, Topaz has never added an AI made by some other entity to TVAI. Legally, such requests don’t make a lot of sense.
I tend to agree with the statements others have made: Let’s not ask Topaz to waste time working on things we can get elsewhere for free. (Though I don’t know if the Eye Contact AI from Nvidia is free.)

So is the one vote for this idea yours?

Vote accepted, after only one day! Thank you. At this rate we should see it running when, next week?
Seriously, if Topaz needs to have guardrails in order to do some things well at the expense of doing too many things but not so well, that is reasonable. However, an “easy” handshake with someone at Invidia, maybe as a cloud-rendering only option to eliminate local workstation anomalies and simplify implementation could make sense. It gives them a pathway toward sales of their poorly valued cloud rendering offering and make the decision of cost per use cases more worthwhile for companies like ours.
This would be an awesome feature. Sometimes I have to deal with footage where the eye contact is just off and it is so time consuming to fix in-post.
