Topaz Labs released Video AI version 5.1. Here is what's new:
- Instant Rendering (Experimental): Video AI now renders previews as soon as you click ‘Play’. Instant renders make the timeline more interactive and allow you to directly compare models with shorter wait times.
- Frame Interpolation for DaVinci Resolve OFX (macOS + Windows): Access Apollo, Aion, and Chronos directly from DaVinci Resolve. Convert to slow motion at up to 16x interpolation and make use of Resolve’s retiming controls for smooth speed-ramping.
- New multi-GPU options (Video AI Pro): Video AI now includes two multi-GPU modes. The existing “All GPUs” option now supports NVIDIA cards running TensorRT models, leading to major utilization increases for systems with 2+ NVIDIA cards. This mode is now named “Single video” under “GPU Settings”. The second mode, “Multiple videos”, optimizes for large export queues when running on systems with multiple GPUs. We’ll have more to share about this Video AI Pro feature when it launches in June.
- New Welcome Screen: Quickly reopen projects and resume renders using the new Welcome Page. This is a home for recent projects and includes the ability to select favorites for easy access.
- Preferences UI Refresh: Navigate settings using the new preferences sidebar with expanded categories and new tooltips.
- Colorspace settings added to Video Input Options: Set custom colorspace, color primaries, color trc, and color range for video inputs with metadata issues.
