I believe it’s time for Topaz to elevate its game from merely offering upscale, sharpen, and denoise features, with a few additional functionalities sprinkled in. To truly match what’s happening at the cutting edge, Topaz has the potential to integrate all of these capabilities into one powerful program
Look at what Adobe Firefly is doing with video seen here:
and others:
Stable Diffusion has been an open source option and now is available for free in software like Krita. Making it a powerful tool that competes against Adobe Photoshop and Firefly. Currently there is no opensource mainstream option available to videographers. It will be interesting to see who capitalizes first for video.
yes sounds nice, but they should invest resources in eleminate bugs AND updating the models. If we demand more and more features and Topaz jumps on it, this gets worser not better.
Topaz has significantly improved, especially in terms of processing speed. I use all the software available on the market for what Video AI does. While it simplifies some tasks, it still shares the same issues as other similar software. To me, “Video AI” represents much more than what this currently offers, and I’m addressing the professional market where Adobe Firefly dominates with little competition. Making this technology accessible to everyone would bypass the gatekeepers. Topaz doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel; they just need to make the current models more accessible.
I agree with you, but the almost entire team seems to be busy with Starlight and nothing is happening with new TVAI releases, although a few bugs are corrected, but there are new ones and some that were already fixed but now back again + VFR thing is not yet completely gone, frame interpolation is therefore effectively dead. Not a solid base for integrating new features.
Regardless, Topaz Video AI is an excellent option for bringing AI to the mainstream. Personally, I don’t care much about interpolation, as I already have several software programs that can handle that.
