Here is my struggle. I have a video clip I’ve shot. I have placed that video on my time line and naturally I have “chopped it up”. But I want to use Topaz AI to slow down a certain clip, not the entire clip?
Thanks - New to this software as of 2 hours ago 
We do not yet have a plugin The best way to proceed would be to only process the sections you wish to slow down in TVAI using the trim tool or you could trim the sections of the file using Premiere and then bring all of the clips into tvai and batch process, etc.
“or you could trim the sections of the file using Premiere and then bring all of the clips into tvai and batch process, etc.” Can you say more about this please or point me to a YouTube that explains it. I think it would be super valuable to be able to select just a clip from the Premier timeline and launch TAI for just that 1 clip.
Which part would you like further instructions on? Batch processing in Topaz Video AI?
You would import the clips into Topaz Video AI, apply the settings needed and the press export for each file. If you are applying the same filter to all scenes, you can select all and then choose the filters you wish to use.
For Premiere, you would need to use Adobe’s documentation for this.
Yes, a plugin will be a game changer! This is something we are exploring
Thank you - I think for my use case, I need to find a way to chop up the video and export just that 1 clip to TVAI and smooth, slow it etc etc. Anyone know of a good video chopper?
You can use Premiere or FCP or even Quicktime (although there will be some limitations).
maybe a little bit late but in case someone else find this.
The best way I found waas to Render and Replace the clip. (ussually conforming to sequence but it might not depending on what you want to acomplish) then find the render on explorer/finder and process it on TVAI.
Also, by using Excalibur plugin you can batch export every individual cut/clip on the timeline and then batch process it on TVAI
