Topaz Video AI 2024 Roadmap

I absolutely want 4k… but not for monitors per se, but for TV. I want the full UHD + HDR + Dolby Vision (if it’s available) experience. I have a 3840x1600 Alienware, non-HDR monitor, though, which is good enough for me, but own a 65" LG G4 TV.

Yes it’s not ideal with 4x Upscale SD (DVD) gives us 1920, then down to 1440/1080p and we get plastic look. Rhea should gives us also a optimized model for 640 to 1080p (and maybe additional to 1440 WQHD)

4k is a must have, 3840 x 2160 is TV standard resolution + Blu-Ray. TV feeding with native resolution is optimal, but 1080p 4x upscale gives us 8k, and then down to 4k ist not the good way.

In my opinion the primary goal should be to focus on a model bring it to prefection, maybe it’s Rhea, and then when we have it, the model can replace others. Less but amazing models should be the goal. It’s not useful we have a dozen models and every has serious weaknesses and Topaz can’t train them all up.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I’ve searched the archives and can’t find an answer or update on this!

ACEScg/Linear workflow EXRs, is there any plan to be able to bring these files directly into Video AI Pro work with them and then export them without losing dynamic range?

Currently if I import an ACEScg EXR sequence it’s converted to 16bit Tiff, if I work on it and then export it, it appears to get clamped to rec709 even if I export as EXR? I understand why I’m losing AOV’s and other metadata but surely I should be able to preserve the HDR?

I notice there is an SDR to HDR convertor now, how do you export this to keep the HDR in place, just wondering if there was some way to tap into this for my workflow? Any help/guidance appreciated.

Thanks
Lawrence

Is there a plan to make a roadmap for completing Project Video AI 2025 as well? I was wondering so I can get an idea of what to look forward to.

So, all beta test and release threads are closed now?? I thought that was only done upon a new release.

Did extensive testing yesterday. Rhea as it is now is basically unusable. Invents shit all the time, misinterprets patterns, makes text into alien language - and sometimes erasing details for no reason and so on. How this model made it to a release is beyond me. XL is ever worse.

Hello, how do i download my Topaz video.ai i checked everywhere but no download link

It does need some alterations in my experience too. If you have any videos that you would be okay with sharing onto the forums, I would love to have a discussion about the flaws that need fixed.

Will we get a 2025 Roadmap sometime?
