The plugins that didn’t make it into Topaz Video 1.0.0 have been restored to their previous state. They’re fully functional again.
We’re also working on a rewrite for these plugins behind the scenes to improve both performance and quality, so stay tuned for those improvements in a future update, coming soon.
Thanks for your patience and feedback as we continue refining the software.

Dakota Wixom says this in incorrect. Topaz have now had plenty of opportunity since v1.0.0 to update the EULA accordingly. Sadly, it comes as no surprise whatsoever that they haven’t bothered to do so.
If I export a video to an image sequence, can topaz then put the sequence back into a video? I’m assuming it should be able to since it would make the option useless if you can’t put it back into a video file.
I noticed that exporting files after the Studio version corrupted the file structure. When uploading the exported file to YouTube, I saw corrupted video. However, when I re-rendered the file with a video editor and then uploaded it to YouTube, this problem disappeared. This problem didn’t occur in the older 7th version, but I’ve seen it in the newer Studio versions. When you watch a video in the standard player, you don’t see these errors because it automatically fixes minor errors in the background, but when uploading to YouTube, it causes problems when it re-renders files with errors.

And while you’re at it, Topaz Labs, how about writing files that actually adhere to the output resolutions that are selected for rendering? I’ve seen some very strange results…
