Topaz Video AI 4.0?

Topaz Video AI General

Yesterday after watching a cat video that someone sent me, I scrolled through an ad for “pre-ordering” Topaz Video AI 4.0 for $249 for 12 months plus a three-month extension. I haven’t heard a peep about an imminent 4.0 release on October 18th, so this struck me as odd. Was that a legitimate ad or a scam?

How did I miss this? Even doing a web search for “Topaz Video AI 4” didn’t turn up a single hit. How is 4.0 different from the current version? I’m excited to hear more!

We’re rolling out a full campaign that will detail the changes in Video AI 4 in the next few days. I’ll update this thread with links when ready!

I get that Video AI 4 is Ultra, but what exactly is new.

Also I hate the timing. I wish I had a crystal ball and knew what the Black Friday was going to be. I’m definitely buying the upgrade, but do I do it now or wait a month? :weary:

Stabilizer is very useful on my 15 yr old clips. I hope Topaz can apply that with no zoom at all in v 4.

If we pre-order 4.0, do we get access to the current version until the 17th or do we just have to wait to use the software at all?

14

The v4 pre-order will only open access to the app on the 17th, with an additional 3 months of upgrade license time added to the usual year-long period.

Ordering the app today for the regular price will also grant access to v4 when it is launched, but will not include the additional upgrade time or the discounted price.

Topaz is spitting out versions faster than some companies have in their entire insistence. I don’t mind that, but they need to fix issues from previous versions first and look at community requested features or add features that are standard in most programs these days, like shut down pc after a job is done, bringing back auto save, etc…

Keen to know what’s new in 4.0, seems quite quick after 3.5 which had some nice improvements.

Any news on a Premiere plugin? That would be the next gamechanger
