Thank you for getting back to me. I am still a bit confused here. Did you do this in Topaz Video AI? Thats the app that I purchased. What is Medianinfo? If you can, can you please give me which model you used? Rhea, etc, etc… Some screen grabs would be very helpful.
I just want to be able to bring in my videos and apply your settings.
Can you please tell me what model you used?
Are you talking about this screenshot?
Zoom in. Everything is there…settings, model, etc.
MediaInfo is a great program that shows you video and audio file information. You need that information to get people to help you here
.MediaInfo
Thank you. But I am not sure why I need MediaInfo ? And also not sure how to use it.
As for this string, I saw feedback from Imo, Akila, Mayday and I wasn’t sure who was answering what! LOL Then Imo, finally said he or her could not make it work? Are there BOTS here? I am just not sure who was able to figure it out. Akila sent me a video link and what they did looked great, but I never got an answer on what and how they did it. Its very confusing here.
I did exactly this already about two year ago: I generated single images from videos and enhaced all of them in “Gigapixel AI”, then I merged the images into a video together again. It was very sharp, but the rest I was not happy, overall result was not good.
I did this as well. It took 15 days to finish. Right after that both my GTX 1070 ti and the power supply were dead. 
@ reinaldo.rodriguez I background is too blury you can’t enhance this, there must be a structure.
oh no 
yes it’s crazy I did just a short clips, but took about 2 days 
There are three ways to get help.
Email support.
mailto:help@topazlabs.com
Start a new topic on this forum. Don’t add on to an older one (hijack).
Read through topics already made here You can also search for something.
If you really want help you need to provide details about your video files. MediaInfo does that. You download and install it. For Windows you can then right click on any file, select MediaInfo, and look a the details of any media file. You can copy that information and paste it into a topic post or email.
Hum… is this an original clip? Where does this clip come from?
Is it already slightly over shrpening at the hair level?
Thanks in advance.
@reinaldo.rodriguez I have made a bombastic enhance of your sample, instructions how to is included. It’s amazing but to extreme! I made it you can see the huge difference, because you said you can’t see a difference. I send a dropbox request to you for uploading.

Edit: I have uploaded my Result now here (downloadable for 30 day): Upload Files | Free File Upload and Transfer Up To 10 GB
Settings (for extreme sample)
set nothing else than wrote parameters!
1. Upscale Iris 3840x2160
Relative to Auto mode
Rec. Orig Detail: 20
Antialias-/Deblur: 100
2. Upscale Rhea 4x (7680x4320)
Codec Settings: “H265” and “MKV”
Realtive to Auto Mode
Antialias-/Deblur: 100
Downscale Rhea from 7680x4320 to 3840x2160, I did it with “VirtualDub2”
3. Overlay/Merge both Vids in Video Cutter Software
Set opacity: Iris 60% (opacity Rhea = 40%)
->export vid
4. Final Polish: Import merged Video in Topaz
1st Enhacement: Proteus MANUAL MODE, Denoise 2, set Rec Details to 0
2nd Enhacement: Artemis → Strong Halo V2
and export, that’s it!
Sorry for the late response, I was a bit busy in the past few days. to answer your 1st question, yes I ran it through Video AI and Video AI only.
MediaInfo as @Mike.M mentioned in his following post, is a great tool that provides you detail information about your video file. this tool will serve you very well not only for Topaz but for many other things you might need a bit more information about the video then just a simple info such as bitrate and scale.
the tool could be downloaded Here and/or it comes built-in as part of K-Lite Codec Pack Mega (it is a codec pack that your computer needs if you want to encode/playback videos using a variety of cedecs, very useful pack to have).
once installed it is automatically imbedded as part of your explorer shell and all you need to do is right click on a video/audio file and select MediaInfo
Why did I say you can use mediainfo tool to determine what i used? that is because Topaz did us all a huge favor and every time we export a video through Video AI, it adds the information of what AI module was used and it’s parameters/values that were set.
For example: you rendered many files in Video AI and you don’t remember what you used in one of the files, you can view the information of what you used for that file(s).
So by viewing the file in Media Info you can see exactually what was used. Like the example of this file (one of the files I processed for you)
if you read carefully through this information you can see I used Proteus AI module in “manual” mode
with Improved details of 41, sharpening 20, denoise 20, deblur 20 and ROD/recover original detail of 20 (the default, did not change it - ROD is always at 20 by default on any enhancement AI you use. they changed the name of “recover original detail” in the UI now to “recover detail”, but in MadiaInfo it is still presented in it’s original older name it used to be in the past of “recover original detail”).
In the UI it will look like this:
You can now MediaInfo both files I uploaded and you can check the parameters i used for each and adopt the one you liked the most out of the two (I used different settings on each file)
Hope this clears up any confusion you might had.
Yes it does!! Thank you for all of your help! I have some things to learn. LOL

This is precisely why I started using ffmpeg in the first place, so I could remove those tags. It’s not a “great help”, it’s a way for them to watermark all of your files. And the fact that they don’t even tell you they’re doing it, much less give an option to turn it off, is mind blowing.
Yeap! Thats true…
