Topaz Labs released a new/rebuilt version of Video Enhance AI with a new interface and improved AI technology:

  • Upscale and enhance any footage – Bring your old footage up to modern standards by upscaling to 8K resolution with no artifacts. Enhance and fine-tune details in every frame with a highly-trained selection of AI models.

  • Simulate slow-motion video with silky-smooth results – Create stunning slow-motion from any footage. Topaz Video AI generates new frames without stuttering or motion artifacts.
  • Deinterlace any video for the digital world – Use deep learning to convert interlaced videos to progressive format while preserving image definition.
  • Convert frame rate with perfect quality – Generate new frames that seamlessly blend with frames captured in-camera, enhancing your video with smoother and more natural results.

Topaz also has an introductory offer where you can save $140 on the new Video AI – use coupon code GETVIDEOAI for an additional 15% off:
